A fun flowy trail, Pumphouse Loop Trail is best ridden counter clockwise starting from the Route 2 side of the Multi-Modal Trail. Great for beginner riders but fun for all. The loop is approximately 1.5 miles total length and can be tied into other trails in the Pine Mt/ Moose Brook area for a longer more challenging ride.

Access Info

*From Rt 2 parking: cross highway and head south on the multi-modal 1/10 mile. Directly south of the bridge across the Moose River, find Pumphouse single track heading east .

*From Bellevue Rd: at the red brick pumphouse, follow single track north-east on the powerline cut, in 1/10 mile veer west under an apple tree arch to the wooded trail.

      Great trail! 7/27/2025: beware of a ground hornets nest on the back side (furthest from the river) of the big log feature. Easy to avoid unless, like me, you forget how to ride your bike while on the log, and crash down on top of it.

      This happened six hours ago, and I’m sure they’re still mad about it.

      Nice smooth flat trial. Add a little speed for a really fun ride. Watch out for walkers. Rode it twice and saw walkers each time.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
