King Range Mountain Bike Trail

Update 10/1/08: Trail completed, Paradise Royale Mountain Bike Trail now open

Since 2005, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has been working cooperatively with mountain biking advocates and clubs, such as the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), to plan, develop, and construct an environmentally sustainable, challenging mountain bike trail system in the Paradise Ridge area of the King Range National Conservation Area, situated near 2850' high Queen Peak, north of Shelter Cove Road.  The proposed system will include 30 miles of trails encompassing varying levels of difficulty and diverse scenic vistas, terrain features and riding experiences.  The trail system will provide mountain biking opportunities in a region where legal, single-track mountain biking-specific trails do not exist on public lands.

The main loop trail is estimated to be 14 miles, with a completion date of Fall 2008.  Currently, there are portions of the trail that are ridable.  Download the King Range Mountain Bike Trail Map to view where you can ride.

The King Range Mountain Bike Trail would not be possible without the help of numerous volunteers.  If interested in working on the trail, please contact the King Range Project Office.
