ADVENTURE
Area trails offer excellent fat tire biking in the winter
F
Fat Tire Bikes, also affectionately known as “fatties,� are mountain bikes equipped to perform in the snow. Fatties are like regular mountain bikes with lighter frames and larger wheels for easier movement and better traction. Though many trails are closed to protect wildlife in the winter, there are several places to get your fill of mountain biking in the snow. Please respect all closures, and be aware of fellow recreationists on these shared-use trails.
