To those of you who mountain bike regularly:

PIPC policy requires user groups to maintain the trails they use. There is a designated mountain bike trail in the Anthony Wayne area of Harriman State Park. It was build by local bikers with consultation provided by IMBA, the International Mountain Bike Association. After a rocky startup period, it is now maintained by the Ramapo Valley Cycling Club. Such successful projects may lead to more trails open to ATBs in Harriman and elsewhere.

A large number of Trail Conference maintained trails have either permitted but very light use by ATBs or short sections of multiple use. Since so many hikers want nothing to do with ATBs, it is sometimes difficult for us to find maintainers for these trails. We welcome those of you who both hike and bike to take on the maintenance of these trails. Contact us and we will find such a trail for you.

Even those of you who only bike and almost never hike are welcome to join the Trail Conference and maintain a multiuse trail. We will work very hard to find such a trail for you. There are parks who would open more trails to ATBs if they had maintainers.
