The Breakneck Ledge mountain bike route at Blue Hills Preserve is a challenging 4.5 mile route that incorporates a number of kickass climbs as well as some of the more technical trails in the Park.
The route starts and ends in the Houghton's Pond parking Lot, from where it heads up the hill towards the Park Offices, where it crosses Hillside Street into the Great Blue Hill section, where most of the route plays out.
The route incorporates parts of Blue Hills' most famous trails including Breakneck Ledge Path and Coon Hollow Path.
The route is ridden in a counter clockwise direction and is marked by yellow triangle blazes.
Please keep in mind that Blue Hills is a multi-use park and yield to other trail users.
Also be sure to check out the awesome views of the bay area from the top of the hills.
