Markham Park Mountain Bike Trails

Biking is allowed throughout the park, but if you want to use the Mountain Bike Trails you have to buy a pass, sign a waiver, and watch a short safety video about the trails. If you’re into mountain biking…this is well worth it! Over 10 miles of various bike trails await you at Markham Park. They vary wildly in degree of difficulty so you will never run out of fun or a challenge. Helmets are required on all Markham Park mountain bike trails of course and there’s a $5 fee to use the trails. You can also get an annual pass, call the park or visit the park office for more details.

These trails are built and maintained by volunteers and you can find out more about helping out or donating to the bike trails’ upkeep at the Markham Park Trail Building Fund site. The Markham Park bike trails are absolutely amazing and they can’t be maintained without your support, so get out there and volunteer! Markham Park trail maintenance is the first Saturday of each month 8:30am. Meet at the front gate of the trails.
