There are thousands of miles of back roads, bike trails, logging roads, and hill terrain open to bikers, and they take advantage. There is very little traffic in this part of the state and biking is safe and fun.

Trails range from flat (novice level) to very hilly (expert level) with miles and miles of intermediate trails in between. They also range from mapped, marked double-track to unmarked single track trails. With hundreds of miles of old logging roads and abandoned railroad grades the options for places to ride are virtually uncountable.
