Confirmed from Percy Warner Mountain Bike Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

THIS IS NOT A HIKING TRAIL. There are separate trails in Percy Warner for hiking and for biking to keep both pedestrians and bicyclists safe. DO NOT hike on the bike trail. Not only is it not allowed per the rules of the park, you can get injured or severely injured a bicyclist. Walk on the walking trails available.

Great trails! They have trails ranging from easy all the way up to black diamond trails with rock drop offs and jumps. It’s truly a great trail system the only down fall to it is that the trails get used so much that it’s like riding on concrete instead of dirt but it’s a great place it gets a little crowded in the…

Very fun trails, good mix of tech and flow. Can be very muddy after any rain storm. (Learned this the hard way lol) Great for XC and Enduro. They don't offer a wash station for aforementioned mud. They should. Also could add a few more berms. Too many flat turns. Very techy... Still a great time. Even saw a few deer :)

★★★★☆ — J , Dec 2019

Insanely fun trails ranging from green circle to black diamond. NOT A HIKING TRAIL, I've almost hit many a hiker on these BIKE trails, other than that great free trails for all skill levels with many fun features.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
