Bradbury Mountain State Park Mountain Bike Trails

Bradbury Mountain State Park is a fantastic and popular network of cross country trails, mainly consisting of very root-laiden, rocky terrain that is fun and challenging. The West side of the mountain includes the summit, and as a result has trails with higher elevation and steeper grades. The trails on this side are pretty gnarly and fun, but very popular with hikers, so use caution. The East side of the mountain consists miles upon miles of flatter, but more purpose-built singletrack that is winding, quick, and a blast to ride. If you prefer more aggressive style riding, the West side and the adjacent Tryon Mountain are great places to check out, with a very fun downhill connecting to Tryon leading off of the Bradbury Boundary trail (it's a left turn through the rock wall). Many trails on the East side will also be worthwhile rides for a more aggressive rider. If you prefer pure cross country, you will find endless enjoyment on the east side of the mountain. Since it is used so frequently by so many, Bradbury consists of many exposed roots, and holds water for long periods of time. For the best experience, check it out when it's dry.
