With 650 acres of protected open space, Mill Mountain is home to about 10 miles of singletrack trails. While a couple of the trails are designated as hiking only, the vast majority are open to mountain biking, providing a superb in-town singletrack hit for locals and visitors alike.

The technical difficulty of most of the trails on Mill Mountain clocks in at “intermediate,” but rocks and roots help keep the East Coast spice alive. While the technical difficulty may be low, the aerobic difficulty can feel significant, even on such a short ride. The trails on Mill Mountain tend to climb and descend quite quickly, and can very well force you to redline right out of the gate!

The route mapped here attempts to make the most of the trail system by climbing and descending the mountain twice. It is possible to loop in a couple of other trails if desired, but most riders will generally pedal just one quick loop up and down the mountain. With this map as your guide, you can easily piece together a route with the perfect length for you.
