Mountain Biking West Rocks State Park
#38 of 113 mountain bike trails in Connecticut
West Rock Park is a popular ride among the locals because it is so convenient to the city of New Haven. Trails are marked with colors. Yellow trail is a climb only worth of the Hammer Gods. Red Trail is nice and flat. White trail goes around Lake Wintergreen. Blue trail, another particular tough climb leads to one of the best views, looking directly at down town New Haven

Wilbur Cross Parkway, Exit 60, head south on Dixwell Avenue to first traffic light past the parkway and turn right on to Benham Street.
Follow Benham to the end and turn left onto Main Street. First right/drive way on right will be entrance to the park.
First off, it's West Rock simply West Rock. A rocky no joke ridgeline. The place to go to ride YO BIKE.
| ThankTrails for every ability. Lower trails are great for snow riding.
| ThankDO NOT GO ON PURPLE TRAIL! It is so rocky and technical that you have to walk almost the entire trail. This is a good place for hiking. Not biking
| ThankThere a few difficult, technical climbs and the view of New Haven is nice from the top. Was easy to get to trail head via directions here. Trails are marked w/swatches on trees and at times are difficult to spot.
| Thank
