Mountain Biking & Bike Paths

BOYNE is the perfect destination for biking in Northern Michigan of all types, whether hitting the trails and jumps are meandering along paved trails and resort roadways.  We have miles and miles of challenging single and two track trails for the avid mountain biker.  Head right out from the lodge or condo and spend the day cruising rolling hills, through pine forests and around our spectacular golf courses. 

Boyne Highlands

The Boyne Highlands Bike Park is currently closed.   Thank you for another great season... looking forward to seeing you in early summer 2010!

Choose your level at Boyne Highlands... from leisurely tours to pretty extreme terrain and jumps!  Take the family for a ride on wide and wooded trails rated as easy riding where you'll enjoy some beautiful scenery and maybe even catch a glimpse of our resident wildlife such as deer, rabbits, foxes and squirrels.  Tour the resort property on the lightly trafficked roads through its various neighborhoods and along the courses.  If you want a more challenging ride, hop on the chairlift to access the Boyne Highlands Bike Park and be ready for a fast moving experience.  Modeled after the popular North Shore designs of the upper Northwest and Vancouver areas, this park features naturally cut trails with banked turns, heart-stopping jumps and narrow passages requiring expert maneuvering.  Check out the park and trails map and if not sure you're up for the adrenaline rush, view a little footage from the Boyne Highlands Bike Park in our video gallery.

Boyne Mountain

At Boyne Mountain, catch a chairlift to get yourself and your bike to the top of the mountain and head back down via a NEW paved trail system or the rugged mountain trails.  Enjoy the seven mile paved loop at Boyne Mountain which from the mountain's top, takes you down the backside of the mountain with hills, turns and great views then around the golf course, by the Pro Shop and onto the Mountain Pass Road for your journey back to the resort village.  Another option for those seeking an easy paved trek is also from the mountain's top and winding downhill through the wooded areas and back across the hill, ending inthe resort village.  If true mountain trails are your choice, you can grab a map and head out on 32.5 miles of marked trails or simply choose your own route. In either case,  be on the lookout for friendly wildlife along the way.

Boyne Country Sports at Boyne Mountain has rental bikes for all ages and types of biking.  Also for rent is the "Diggler" Mountain Scooter!  This fun ride is a rugged and tough model designed for mountain terrain and for more information on the scooter, visit www.diggler.com.
