Last Known Status

Open

This multiple use trail system opened to the public in June 2013, and currently has over 100 miles of trails, with 17 miles of pure single track. The trails are marked, rated and provide panoramic mountain views with direct access to lodging and dining facilities. Recent upgrades include a new trailhead added in 2017 near the town of Coeburn.

A permit is required to ride the trail system (this applies to all riders, drivers, passengers and bicyclists) which can be purchased online or at nearby vendors.

Camping is not permitted alongside the trails but Camp Mountventures is located next to the trailhead. The campground offers spacious sites with full hookups, restrooms, laundromat plus a camper that sleeps six (call for rates and availability).
