Visitor Activities: Biking

Biking is a popular activity in the park, but there are no formal bikepaths. Some roads in the park have only a very narrow shoulder, or lack one altogether. Extreme caution must be used. Download the Biking brochure for a map of suggested routes and be sure to follow the guidelines below:

Safe Biking

  • wear a helmet at all times
  • ride bicycles only on roadways, not on trails
  • ride on the right side of the road in single file
  • obey the rules of the road at all times
  • use hand signals to communicate with other drivers

Regulations

  • Bicycle riders in the park and parkway must obey the same rules and regulations that apply to motorized vehicles.
  • Bicycles are allowed only on paved and unpaved roads, unless otherwise posted. Bicycles are not allowed on any park or parkway trails or in any backcountry areas.
  • Operating a bicycle abreast of another bicycle on paved roads within the park and parkway is prohibited.
  • During low visibility and between sunset and sunrise, bicyclists must display a white light or reflector from the front and a red light or reflector from the rear.
