As a native of the Northeast, I love how many scenic areas there are to visit. I have never tired of scenery because there is so much variety. One of the ways to get a full appreciation of what the Northeast has to offer is from a bike. Although famous for its fall foliage, a ride in this region is a treat regardless of the season. Here is a list of some of the most beautiful trails in the Northeastern United States.
The Dryer Road Bike Trail outside Victor, NY offers variety and trails that will appeal to many skill levels. There are long descending trails, climbs, s-turns and cut backs. Currently, there are about 10 miles in all and new trails are being added. This spot is popular for bikers so be sure to be mindful of the crowd.
With Parsonsfield, Maine just a stone's throw away, the Cedar Mountain Loop is sure to keep local travelers happy. No need to worry if you are inexperienced, the trail is only about 12 miles long and is perfect for amateurs. The only areas one needs to be mindful about are the water bars at the bottom of the trail and a few steep climbs. Other than the ride is pretty smooth. The view from the top is spectacular and my cause the novice cyclist to catch the riding bug.
Whether you are a seasoned veteran or newby, the trails of Bear Brook State Forest will have something for you. Located near Allentown, New Hampshire, these trails are a hotspot for all cyclists. Boasting 100 miles of track, even the busiest of days will still leave cyclists with a sense of being out on their own. It is recommended that you buy a map and make a plan about your ride. If you are new to the area, grab a friend to go with you; 100 miles of unfamiliar road can be a bit sketchy. There is a small cycling fee of $2.50 before you head out on the track, but it is well worth it.
The Cross Vermont Trail near Burlington, Vermont has been rated well by other bikers. There are 75 miles of trails which could best be described as rolling terrain. The track is mostly gravel and is open to horseback riders, hikers, snow-mobilers, and cross-country skiers as well. So, watch out for others during your ride. If you dont feel up to the full 75 miles, there are a number of places to get off in between.
In Lynn, Massachusetts the Lynn Woods trails are designed for the experienced cyclist. There are steep hills, slick rock terrain and no shortage of fire road and thick clay. If you are looking to challenge yourself, but concerned that Lynn Woods is too much for you, each trail comes with areas to turn out and rest or stop your trip all together. If you can make it through, the payoff is amazing.
Although there are a number of paved trails in the Northeast, a great many of them are woods trails designed for the dedicated mountain biker. If mountain biking is your passion, then this is the place to visit! Thousands of tourists visit the New England states each year in the fall to view the stunning autumn foliage. Imagine getting a firsthand look from a bike trail back in the woods! Be sure to bring a camera and get ready for an unforgettable ride!
