There are SO many places in Oregon to mountain bike, but I’ll try to narrow them down to the BEST. Are you ready?
Top 5 recommendations:
- McKenzie River Trail
- Oakridge — Alpine Trail
- Sandy Ridge Trail
- Surveyors Ridge
- Tiddlywinks
Honorable Mentions:
- Oakridge — Tire Mountain or Waldo Lake
- Tyler’s Traverse
- North Umpqua Trail
- Black Rock
- Post Canyon
Google any of these and your mind might explode. There are just so many awesome places to go. In fact, if you haven’t been to Oakridge, I just went and it blew my mind. There are mountain bike trails, waterfalls, hot springs, and a proper English pub called the Local 180.
Let me know if you have any questions or need to find a place to rent a mountain bike. The Mountain Shop in NE Portland is probably your best bet for a quality ride.
