Biking
Imagine touring the
red sands of Utah's
Arches National Park
on your mountain bike.
Or how about riding
though the Black Hills
of South Dakota on
your road bike ? Then
there are the beautiful
carriage trails of
Acadia National Park
that you can explore
on your hybrid. America's
public lands offer
a multitude of different
types of cycling.
Contact your destination
to find out whether
bicycles are allowed
and what kinds of trails
are available. Licensing,
fees and seasonal restrictions
may vary from site
to site. For detailed
information on a particular
site, please contact
that site directly.

Practice
Good Stewardship of
our Trails / Roadways:
You can help to
take good care of our
trails and roadways
so that others may
enjoy these areas for
years to come by practicing
some of the following
actions:
Don't Litter... take along a trash bag or other receptacle for collecting your trash so that you can deposit it in the proper trash receptacle.
Make
sure that you operate
the correct type of
cycle or bike permitted
in that area. Check
with your destination
ahead of time to make
ensure that the cycle
you plan to use is
allowed.
Don't operate a bike
or cycle in areas where
they are not permitted.
These areas have been
declared "off
limits" to bikes
and cycles to protect
wildlife, vegetation,
or for your safety.
