BIG NEWS: We're excited to officially begin the next phase of the Oak Mountain Bike Park expansion—a vision we first shared with our community last year. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters and our partnership with Camp of the Woods, we're able to begin Stage One, featuring a new scenic climbing trail that will open the door to even more adventure on the mountain.

This project will be completed in phases, and we're excited to restart our fundraising efforts to help make the entire vision a reality. While we're thrilled to break ground, there's still much more to build, and every donation—big or small—helps move us closer to the finish line. Together, we're creating something that will serve riders of all ages and abilities, strengthen outdoor recreation in the Adirondacks and Speculator Region, and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come. Thank you for believing in this project and helping us build the future of the Oak Mountain Bike Park.

If you'd like to support the next phase of the Oak Mountain Bike Park expansion, you can make a donation in one of the following ways:

Venmo: @oakmountainski
Check: Please make checks payable to Adirondack Foothills Trails Alliance (AFTA) and write "Oak Mountain Bike Park" in the memo line.

At this time E-bikes are being considered on a case by case basis. We certainly do not want to exclude riders who rely on E-bikes for health or medical reasons. We also are looking into the various types of E-bikes and at this time limit consideration to pedal assist mode.

This year we will have Volunteer Days once a month. Please bring rakes, clippers and gloves. Check out the projects on our facebook page:

Ride responsibly

Stay on the trail.
Stay in control.
Ride only on trails open to mountain biking.

How do you pass hikers on a narrow trail?

SLOW DOWN. Don’t just yell, “On your left!” and barrel on through. Good interactions mean more open trails.

Hikers have the right of way. If they don’t feel safe moving to the side of or off the trail for you, wait it out. Ask if they mind finding a place for you to pass. Most of the time, people are cool.

Get a bell for your bike. If you have one, ring it nicely as a way to get attention.

When two bikers approach each other, who has the right of way?

Downhill traffic gets the right of way. If you’re climbing up a hill, stop and let the biker who is coming downhill by.
