A fat tire bike stands on a snowy beach at sunset, with an icy lake stretching out in the background. The sky features soft, wispy clouds and a warm glow from the setting sun. Erie Penninsula mountain bike trail.

Mountain Biking Erie Penninsula

****   Add a review
#112 of 293 mountain bike trails in Pennsylvania
#4,494 in the world

it is a paved trail that you can take the kiddies on or pull the kiddy trailer and also hit the beaches, there are a lot of beach shacks to get goodies from so bring some cash. also look for the side trails , if you wanna ride some sandy trails and fly through the sand dunes and trees, have at it.

get directions to Erie PA, you can get there many different ways, but i'll give ya the way from rt 79, coming from 79 north, take the 12th st exit, drive west, you will eventually get past a lot of lights and get to a road called penninsula drive, turn right on it and drive into the park area, find a spot to park and ride, also on the east side you will see the bay and on the west side of it you will see the open lake and a lot of beaches.

    Don't go there for singletracks, because there are none. BUT it is a very cool place to beach ride a fat bike. It is a couple miles of beach on the Eastern shore Lake Erie. I went during a midwinter thaw and all the singletracks were too soft. The wind from the lake had pushed up huge piles of ice on the shore. There was a variety of sandy and snowy surfaces to ride on. It was like riding on the moon.

    My first ride. Just got a new bike and needed a place to try it out. Besides a few small side trails it is a paved path with no difficulty what so ever. It is a place for a relaxing ride that is easy and would be family friendly for all ages. I rate it a 5 due to it having easy parking areas, clean and well maintained, easy to learn a new bike or make adjustments to a old one, close to food and other activities. My ride from beach #1 all the way around and back took 1 hr 5 min and was 12.8 miles that included some pic. stops and some off trail exploring. If your looking for a easy relaxing ride for all ages this is the place e to go!
