Woody Hill Mountain Biking Trails

Woody Hill is the common name for four parcels of preserved land in Westerly, RI. The Woody Hill Management Area and Westerly Municipal Land Trust being the largest and the Westerly Land Trust and the Narragansestt Indian Tribe being the others.

The area has a surprizing amount of climbing being less than a mile from the ocean. This area is typical New England with ridge lines, beautiful forests, streams and ponds. Trails were developed between 2017-2020 and are a mix of fun, fast beginner friendly to very technical designed for advanced riders. The best thing about Woody Hill is there is something for everyone. See individual trail descriptions as needed.

A note about the trail names - each trail on the Town land is named after local craft beers. Beer is part of the mountain biking culture, so it seemed fitting, and to also promote local breweries. How it started was the builder was taking a lunch break on the first trail and was drinking a local DIPA called 'Captains Daughter' and thought that would be a great name for a trail, which led to every other trail being named after beers. It has been very well received by the community, and especially the named breweries.


The best place to park is at the Lacrosse Fields on Bradford Road. From there ride to the tree line at the back of the fields to the right and you'll see trails heading into the woods. Expect to climb, expect to encounter some very interesting trails and expect to smile a lot.
