Trail Description:
If you don't want to do the dirt, you can ride along Skyline Drive for over 100 miles. However, if you do want real MTB, be sure to take a topo map to Shenandoah. The best way to do is to go explore or to ask a park ranger for trails.

How to get there:
From Richmond: Take Rt 64 west until you reach the Waynesboro exit. From there, get on the Skyline Drive and head into the park. Talk to a ranger if you want to get some more trail info.

mtn bike only riders sorry, you can not ride off road anywhere in the park! however if you have a road bike i would invite you to try riding skyline diver. it is a nice mix of hill climbs, down hills, wide sweeping turns, and switch backs. add in that most of the road is around 2000-3000 feet this is a great work out with beautiful views. bring a camera and a lot of water.

I just got back from riding in the shenandoah for the weekend. I rode right past rangers and hikers not a one said anything to me other than 'I can't believe you rode this trail.'

Let Shenandoah national park know how you feel about biking in parks email "Trish_Kicklighter@nps.gov". They may allow biking on fire roads but they're reviewing it. So let them know how you feel.

We should petition to allow mountain biking in shenandoah, if not all national parks.

Time for Dirt World to do some maintenance of their own. NO RIDING in NATIONAL PARKS - PERIOD. This entry just needs to be removed from the list.

I ride these trails year round, and always wave hello to the ranrers as I rideby. No problems here.

NO MATTER WHICH RANGER YOU ASK THERE IS NO OFF-ROAD RIDING ALLOWED IN ANY NATIONAL PARK PERIOD

The Park will not allow you to ride on any of the trails. And from what I hear, that stance is not going to change any time soon.
