Mountain Biking Great Esker Park
#135 of 223 mountain bike trails in Massachusetts
The park is not very big but has some decent size hills to go down. Some technical stuff to do throughout the park. Short but fast trails. Trails need some maintenance. Recommended for beginners to intermediate level riders. Start on the fire road and take trails off it. Most lead back to the fire road.

Not really a mountain bike destination. From parking lot, main trail is paved. The esker makes for a couple steep climbs but they're paved. Seems like the climbs are what make this rated intermediate. If you go left, there will be some singletrack on your right. If you go right, there's some small trail segments near the end of the trail. Segments of singletrack are good but short before a log a couple feet off the ground will be in your way. Overall, nice place for a recovery ride or if you live nearby, otherwise I probably wouldn't drive back.
| ThankSome singletrack off paved loop. From parking lot climb paved path and bear left, to the right there is minimal singletrack (at least from what I found). To the left there is a good length of singletrack with some climbs and descents. A nice ride if you are local, nothing I'd drive back to though.
Looked like there was dirtbike tracks all over the place, so might want to watch out for that.
