Here are some of the mountain bike trails we ride on Long Island and upstate New York.

Stillwell Woods Park

We think Stillwell Woods is one of the best parks around for mountain bike riding. It has 2 miles of very nice single track beginner trails that are easy for newbies but not boring at all. Lots of fun. Then there are miles and miles of Intermediate to Advanced single track trails that weave through the forests of the park. The trails are fairly well marked and ONE WAY so make sure you go the right way.
