Mountain Biking Bradley Palmer

***   Add a review
#77 of 223 mountain bike trails in Massachusetts
#4,866 in the world

Bradley Palmer's 721 acres offer fast riding with little technical challenge. Most
trails are doubletrack/fire roads with short runs of singletrack shooting off. There
are a few hill climbs to be had, but for the most part it is a mellow ride. Be
forewarned, the park gets much equestrian use so riding can be slow at times and
trails show damage and horse "evidence"

    It's a nice place to ride your bike, but there's not a ton of single track. There is also a lot of horse(s) and droppings in the trail. Good for first timers though.

    Lots of open doubletrack, no single track here. Great gravel riding.

    Lot's of trails, but minimal singletrack. Fun ride, nothing technical at all just open fast trails, some climbs, good scenery and wildlife about. Watch out for horses, and of course lot's of families on the paved paths. But plenty of paths to roam and get away from the crowds. Good for beginner riders.

Rider questions

Q: Are they paved
A: There is a one mile paved road running straight through the park. Lots of fire road and single tracks (dirt and grass) run off it. Easy to do 10 miles off road. Cross Ipswich Road takes you to Willowdale State Forrest and more trails.
