Single Track Mountain Bike Trail

This moderate to difficult<*dv_0*> trail is built and maintained by Wisconsin Off Road Biking Assoc. (WORBA).  About 7 miles are complete now, and more is still being constructed.  This trail offers a unique mountain bike experience for enthusiasts willing to take on the challenge.

Get a printable pdf version of the park map at the DNR site.
Or get a map from the WORBA site here.  

<*dv_2*>*The WORBA map will have a more up-to-date version of the single track trail, while the DNR map will be a more complete map for the park.

Pleasure Valley Biking Trail

An easy<*dv_1*> trail that takes the rider through a restored prairie.  Start at the pool parking lot and follow the single track to Mounds Rd.  This trail is also used for cross-country skiing in the winter.

Military Ridge State Trail

A 40 mile trail that travels from Madison to Dodgeville along an abandoned railroad bed.  This trail is relatively flat and paved with limestone screening.  Perfect for an easy ride with a mountain bike or a cruising bike.  

The trail creates part of the southern border of Blue Mound State Park with an access trail from the campground.

More information about the Military Ridge State Trail can be found on the DNR website.

This is an endurance mountain biking event held mostly on our single track bike trail.  Riders can sign up for 3, 6, or 12 hour categories and travel as many laps around the course as possible in their allotted time.  The 2006 12 Hours of Blue Mound will take place on July 8th.

<*dv_6*>Come on out for a great day in a great park and help support the Capitol Offroad Pathfinders, The Dane County Chapter of the Wisconsin Offroad Bicycle Association (WORBA).  All proceeds from this race will be used to further the trails and mountain biking advocacy in Dane County Wisconsin.  A portion of the proceeds will also be donated to the Friends of Blue Mound State Park.  Click here or the banner link above for more info.

Horribly Hilly Hundreds

<*dv_3*>For the road bikers, Blue Mound State Park is the final and most grueling stage of the Horribly Hilly.  After either a 100k or 200k, riders climb Blue Mound to the very top where the park is located.  Read more about the Horribly Hilly here.

<*dv_4*>No passes required if riding bikes on the roads.

PLEASE RIDE SAFELY!
