      The Grater Woods system of trails is yet another fantastic little gem of New England riding that holds within it some really great singletrack, along with wider trails/access roads that just about anyone can try to tackle. However, even on the wider trails/roads, you will find some steep sections that will provide a decent challenge.
      But for you singletrack lovers, warm up on Salamander and Millipede, before heading over to Centipede for something a little more challenging. Make sure you get down to Silverfish for a longer trail with some challenges, and absolutely do not miss Skyline for one of the longest, best singletrack trails in the area. Ridge Line provides a fun little downhill, or a challenging short climb from the other direction.
      If you're feeling more mellow, follow Red Maple up north, and grab Drilled Rock and Eagle for some easy fun, or pop across the road and jump on Caterpillar.

      Remember these trails are frequented by walkers/hikers and hunters during season, so be on the lookout. But the more intermediate singletrack trails are mostly populated by bikers. Class 1 eMTB use is permitted. Have a great time at Grater
