Bike Trails at the Lake City Ski Hill
Mountain Biking Singletrack Trails 1/2 mile South of Lake City
A network of more than two (2) miles of singletrack mountain biking trails is located just 1/2 mile south of Lake City on the Ski Hill property. The trails begin at the Ski Hill parking lot, near the warming hut. In mid-June, through September each year, all sections of the trails have signs indicating the degrees of difficulty: Easy (Beginner), Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert. The Easy trail loops to the west from the warming hut. It is mostly 2 to 5 feet wide. The Easy trail connects with Intermediate trails, which in turn may have sections of more Advanced or Expert trails. Trail features include open traverses of the mountainside, wooded passages, some short but fairly steep climbs, and periodic short sections that traverse boulders, and a few sections that slope sharply downhill. Of the 2-mile total trail distance, about 10-15 % is Easy, 75% is Intermediate, and the remaining 10-15% is Advanced or Expert.
First-time trail riders should dismount and walk any Advanced or Expert trail sections, in order to gauge whether the rider’s skills are sufficient to confidently and safely ride the trail. The mountain biking trails are also well-suited for hiking and trail running, so it may be wise to hike or run all the trails before biking them.
For more skilled mountain bikers, it should be noted that the beautiful, advanced-difficulty “Lake to Lake Trail” is only about 1/2 mile south of the Ski Hill Trails via a section of Jeep road. The Lake-to-Lake Trail is a narrow trail that traverses a steep wooded mountainside for over a mile and ends on County Road 30 just south of Highway 149.
