Overview
Brant Lake Bike Park is a professionally built singletrack trail system designed specifically for mountain biking. The trails cover 3.5 miles over 200 acres, resulting in a 5-7 mile riding experience. The climb is the only one of its kind in the area and puts the "mountain" in "mountain biking". The crown jewel of the ride is the unobstructed view of Brant Lake, which is also accessible by a separate hiking trail.
Need to Know
Please park in the vacant lot next to The Hub. Be sure to support the trails by stopping at The Hub, a cafe, bar, and bike shop located at the base of the trail system.

Feel free to skip the lookout/steep section when riding
Constellation to
Rick's Run and cross over where the trails nearly connect towards the summit.
Starting on
Stairway to Heaven, you'll enjoy a hand-built singletrack climbing trail. The trail is not particularly technical, but has two steep sections (left gauntlet and right gauntlet) that are challenging.
From here, head out on
Rick's Run to head to the lake overlook. After enjoying the views, continue on
Constellation, a great flow trail that is a reward for your efforts! After all that climbing, you get to flow for a while.
After
Constellation, head out on
Rebound for a short lollipop trail that loops around the south summit, a neat destination as it's very different than the Bartonville Mountain summit.
After
Rebound, hop back on
Stairway to Heaven to head back down the the Hub.
History & Background
The land was logged for many years and features an old UHF TV repeater on the summit. The repeater used to send the Albany PBS station down into homes in the valleys.
