SaveDouglas is less than an hour's drive from Boston, Springfield, Hartford and Providence. Douglas State Forest also offered us the opportunity to plan routes for several good rides on its 30 plus miles of trails and dirt roads. With the exception of a few trails in its southeastern corner, which are limited to hiking only, all of its trails are open to mountain bikes as well as to other non-motorized trail users. While many of the forest's trails were created by and for motorcyclists, they lost permission to use the forests trails in the fall of 1996. Even so, many uninformed motorcyclists and ATV'rs are still out on the trails. While this latter prospect might give pause to some mountain bikers, the motorcycles are the creators of many of the singletrack trails we can enjoy riding on our bikes.
The forest is on a plateau with no major hills and a total elevation variation of around 300 feet. Many of the singletrack trails are very rocky, and they interlace amongst a number of two track woods roads and a network of loose surface gravel forest roads. It's possible to switch back and forth from tough technical going to easier doubletrack riding handily once you have figured out how it all holds together, This provides for a wide variety of riding experiences from beginner to advanced expert, simply by picking the trails to suit.
