Center Mountain Biking Trails

Central Israel offers a selection of quite a few official and unofficial MTB trails and trail centers. A short drive from Tel Aviv you will find Ben-Shemen, a relatively flat but diverse and very popular trail center, Canada park about midway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and other spots such as Karmei Yosef, Horshim and more - all within a 40 minute drive out of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.
