Embark on a challenging mountain bike adventure through the diverse landscapes of Brown County State Park. This difficult 21.0-mile (33.8 km) route, known as Pine, Green Valley, Hesitation Point, Lime Kiln, North Tower, will test your skills with a total elevation gain of 1618 feet (493 metres). You can expect to spend around 3 hours and 7 minutes navigating its varied terrain, from the flowing sections of Lime Kiln to the more rugged paths of Green Valley, all while immersed in a natural, wooded environment.
Access this extensive trail system from various points within Brown County State Park, including the North Gate Trailhead. When planning your ride, be mindful that Hesitation Point is a two-way trail; if you are descending, you must yield to riders who are climbing. This ensures a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone on the path.
This route combines several popular sections of Brown County's renowned network, showcasing why the park is considered an IMBA-epic trail system. As you tackle the steep climb on Hesitation Point, you will pass the foundation of a CCC cabin at its base, offering a glimpse into the area's history amidst the technical features and natural beauty.
