Best Mountain Biking in the Watershed

The Royal River watershed has a rapidly growing network of mountain biking destinations with a wide variety of trails and terrain.

Bradbury to Pineland Corridor, Pownal, North Yarmouth, Gray, and New Gloucester - The Bradbury-Pineland Corridor consists of a network of both polished and rough trails that connect Bradbury Mountain State Park to the Pineland Public Reserved Land. Both Pineland Public Reserved Land and Bradbury Mountain State Park have extensive networks of trails, connected by the so-called Corridor.

Pineland Farms, New Gloucester - Thirty kilometers of biking at Pineland Farms is a wonderful opportunity for riding wide gravel paths.

West Side Trail, Yarmouth - The Town of Yarmouth’s West Side Trail is a rapidly growing network of multi-use trails for hikers, walkers, runners, mountain bikers, and more. Intermediate and novice mountain bike trails create round trips of more than ten miles of length with ocean-front segments and ocean views.

Knight’s Pond Preserve, North Yarmouth and Cumberland - Knight’s Pond Preserve in North Yarmouth and Cumberland has a growing network of several 2-5 mile loops of single track across the Blueberry ridge on Bruce Hill on the North Yarmouth/Cumberland town line. Moderate elevation gains and contour-relative trail layout make this a perfect after-work exercise and skills outing.

RRCT Thayer Brook Preserve and Libby Hill Trails, Gray - Libby Hill’s summit defines the height of land between the Royal River watershed and the Presumpscot watershed. Both RRCT’s Thayer Brook Preserve and the Friends of Libby Hill’s Libby Hill Trails host networks of mountain bike trails.
