Wilmington

The "mountain bike capital of the Adirondacks" features a wide variety of riding at two large trail networks - the Flume and Hardy Road - as well as the 3-mile Poor Man's Downhill trail (usually done with a vehicle shuttle) and a long, gnarly backcountry tour on the Cooper Kiln trail. The vast majority of trails in Wilmington are on NYS Forest Preserve lands.

BETA Trail Beta

There are currently 23 miles of multiple-use trails open to mountain bikes on State Forest Preserve lands in the Wilmington Wild Forest management unit.  

​The most popular single track networks are the Flume Trails, Three Sisters (Quaker Mountain) and Hardy Road Trails (also known as the Beaver Brook Tract).  

"Poor Man’s Downhill" ("PMD") is the local name for a 3+ mile single track snowmobile trail that drops over 1,200 vertical feet between the Whiteface Toll Road entrance and the hamlet below.  The trail is commonly shuttled with a vehicle drop at the bottom. Downhill bikes are not necessary.

The Cooper Kiln Trail is open to bikes, but not recommended at this time to anyone but the most committed of hike-a-bikers (emphasis on "hike").  Some sections offer fun single track, but a large portion of the route is unrideable due to erosion caused by Hurricane Irene.  Planning is underway to significantly re-route this trail to improve conditions for mountain biking and other uses.

Whiteface Mountain Bike Park offers lift access and vehicle shuttles for downhill riding as well as cross country trails on the lower mountain.  These trails are fee access only and not part of the public Wilmington Wild Forest trail system.  Trail passes are required for all users.  ​
