Black Forest

Nestled within this 2,800-acre haven, Black Forest stands out as the easiest among the park's four mountain biking trails.

Your adventure begins at Parking Lot P-3, conveniently equipped with restrooms and easily accessible from Poe Run Road, just a mile beyond the Visitor Center. Throughout your journey, you'll encounter rolling terrain, with no challenging climbs to deter your enjoyment. The trail meanders through a hardwood forest adorned with occasional pine trees, offering glimpses of the park's rich history, including one of over 100 ammunition bunkers from its past life.

Black Forest acts as a gateway to the park's other three thrilling trails: TNT Mountain Bike Trail, Atlas Trail, and Log Rhythm (which is exclusively counterclockwise). This interconnected trail system invites riders to explore every nook and cranny of this historic and natural treasure.
