Mountain Biking

Over 8 km of properly maintained & groomed single-track trails welcome you to Chicopee. Long a haven to the neighbourhood cyclists and those pursuing an off-road, mountain-like terrain, Chicopee also offers a number of man-made stunts for your riding pleasure and challenge. Watch for featured special events throughout the summer!

Mountain Bike Rides - Every Wednesday from 6pm - 8pm, join us for a mountain bike ride around the fantastic trails at Chicopee. The ride is set up for all skill levels to participate; beginners takin' it easy ridin' The Pines to advanced riders speeding through the downhills! Non-members may participate by purchasing a $5 trail pass. All those wishing to participate must register with Guest Services in by noon on the day of the ride. Minimum numbers are required in order for the ride to take place.

Mountain Bike Day Camps:
Traditional Mountain Bike Camp
Supervised and instructed by our certified staff. These co-ed camps include Bicycle Skill Development including introduction to basic stunt and cross country trail riding. Our mountain bike camps are designed for children 8-14 years of age who are interested in learning about trail riding. The camp will introduce entry level stunts, including low level & elevated ladder bridges, man made structures, natural obstacles and cross country trails. Campers are required to have a bicycle in good working order that is equipped with hand brakes and gearing. Front suspension is an advantage, but not a necessity. Bike wheels should be at least 20" in diameter to facilitate rolling over roots, rocks and other obstacles. The natural terrain at Chicopee involves hill climbs, forest trails and meadows. There is also a forested structure park.
