Mountain Biking Bernard Mountain Trail

Fun, fast narrow downhill run.  Full of switchbacks and ridge lines.  There is one man-made drop.  Nothing too gnarly, but your focus is required.   900+ feet of descent.  Either ride back up the trail or take a 3.5 mile paved road back to the parking lot.

Beautiful views of the Blue Ridge area from the trail and the paved road.

    Great ride…over 900’ of descent in less than 3 miles. Each individual will have to answer for themselves if it is worth the climb to and from the trail.
