Whether getting in a good workout on an old JEEP road or challenging one’s self on a single track trail, Bays Mountain Park offers 32 miles of trails that provide fun and adventure for mountain bikers of all skill levels. Bikes must be mountain worthy for safety. Please have all bikes checked and registered at the Nature Center gift shop.
