Mountain Biking In Rochester
RASC operates the trail systems in Rochester. We use the following apps for mapping and trail condition updates:
Trailforks - Maps & Routes
Trailbot - Trail Conditions & Closures
Riding is simple: Bring your bike to the designated parking lot, strap on your helmet, look for the trail entrance, and have fun! Because all skill levels are welcome, we follow the standard system of labeling our trails:
Green = Beginner (simple turns and hills)
Blue = Intermediate (tougher “technical” trails with skippable features)
Black = Advanced (very technical trails and/or unskippable features)
For common trail etiquette we recommend following IMBA’s “Rules Of The Trail”:
1) Ride on open trails only - Please obey any closure signage
2) Leave no trace - No littering and do not ride if trails are muddy
3) Control your bicycle - Ride within your limits
4) Yield to others - Be mindful of others enjoying the park
5) Never scare animals - This goes without saying!
6) Plan ahead - Bring sufficient water and supplies

Please be sure to follow all signage as to not enter any Boy Scout territory and be mindful of disc golf baskets.
A new parking lot was finished for 2022. Expect to see many new updates for this park in the coming years!

Eastwood is the original mountain bike park in Rochester. It was originally built in the 90’s and was divided by Towne Club Parkway in the early 2000’s. The East side of the park is more suited for flowy laps while the West side contains more features. Bring your old 26” bike for the full effect!
Spring Brook Valley (In Development)
Spring Brook Valley is currently our most ambitious project. It is a new public natural area in Southwest Rochester, surrounded by residential subdivisions. The park is currently a concept and will come to fruition as a result of efforts to obtain approximately 93 acres of private property, which is situated contiguous with approximately 50 acres of city-owned property and 23 acres of community property.
