The Catamount Outdor Family Center has been offering mountain biking since the 80's. It later developed Nordic Ski trails. Making it one of the first areas to have both.

Of course that was long before anyone ever heard of a Fat Bike. Which now share the trails in the winter months.

The center has over 20 miles of well maintanied trails. You might think that the trails are flat.

Well, some are pretty mellow but there's a 600' hill on the property and the trails make good use of it.

No matter what the season, in you're in the area, check out Catamont. In season they offer bike rentals, lessons, rides and races.

Here's a description from their Facebook Page.

Victory Hill is a developing trail system not far from Kingdom Trails in the town of Victory.  Currently there are about 8 miles of  singletrack trails and an additional 5 miles of woods roads.

The trails are really fun. Some are challenging, but most aren't. They are aimed at enduro focused riders though an enduro or downhill bike is not required. A lot of the trails have been machine built or improved as you'll see when you ride there.

Like Kingdom Trails Victory HIll requires the purchase of a day pass or annual membership. A day pass and a waiver can be purchased and signed at Carol Easter's House, 2438 Victory Hill Road or at the trailhead if no one is at home.

You'll find more information as well as a list of events and links to seasonal trail closures on Victory Hill's Website and on their Facebook Page.
