Mountain Biking Howe State Park

There are alot of little trails here, and I've only ridden about half of them. Most are dirtback or ATV tracks and are pretty loose rock. The better ridiing is when you travel away from the lake across a small wooden bridge. After battling uphill on the loose rocks, the riding becomes a bit more fun for a mile or so on the dirtbike tracks, especially the downhill and wall riding. You'll come out on an old fire road. This goes for miles, but there are little trails off and on that you can try out. A fun ride, but nothing extraordinary.

Getting there
From Route 9 in Spencer, turn onto Route 31 South (directly next to the Cumberland Farms and across from the Town Hall). Stay on 31 South for about two miles until you see a small sign on the right for "Spencer State Forest," which is Howe. Go down the windy road past the farm until you come to the park. Parking on the right in the dirt lot is free.
