Bike Park Rules & Etiquette

  • Ride at Your Own Risk. 
  • Bicycle Helmets Required. 
  • Respect Others.
  • Stay in control and ride within your ability at all times. Be aware of your surroundings and other park visitors.  Adjust your speed when the park is busy. 
  • Be courteous and share park with other users. 
  • Take turns and keep a safe distance between you and the rider in front of you. Clear landing areas quickly.  
  • Riders yield to pedestrians and uphill traffic. 
  • If you stop for any reason, please move off to the side of the trail. 
  • Do not use the dirt trails or dirt features when they are wet or muddy. If mud is sticking to your tires/shoes or you are creating ruts/footprints, then it is too wet to use. 
  • Obey bike park trail and feature closures.
  • Stay on defined bike trail surfaces and do not "free ride" into the landscape.  Ski trails are closed to bikes. 
  • Do not modify trails or features.
  • We work hard to keep the trails in great shape please no skidding or other riding maneuvers that cause damage to features. 


General Park Rules

  • No motorized vehicles are permitted beyond the parking lot. 
  • No unauthorized carrying of firearms or concealed weapons. 
  • No smoking, vaping, alcohol, or illicit drug use. 
  • Please help keep your park clean. Please place all litter in trash/recycling receptacles.
  • Please respect the native vegetation and wildlife.

Bike Park Safety Guide

  • Helmets are required.  
  • Full Face helmets are encouraged.   
  • Bicycles should be in good working order.   
  • Lower Your Saddle for improved bike handling on jumps and pump tracks. 
  • Look Before You Leap. Do not ride or jump blindly! 
  • Ride Safely Within Your Ability. 
  • Ride Progressively. Start small and work your way up to more advanced features as your skills develop. 
  • Protective Gear Is Highly Recommended. In addition to a helmet, wearing gloves, shin, knee, elbow pads, body armor, and in some cases a neck brace is a good idea.
  • Slippery When Wet. Pump tracks, wood features and rocks are slippery when wet. Use extreme caution.
