Great Parks is celebrating its new 1.5-mile mountain bike trail at Avoca Trailhead and wants you to join for an inaugural ride!

Cincinnati Parks has officially broken ground on an exciting new addition to Mt. Airy Forest: a Bike Skills Course designed for riders of all ages and abilities. This project is only possible thanks to a collaboration between Cincinnati Off-Road Alliance (CORA), the Cincinnati Parks Foundation, and American Ramp Company.

Ohio’s new Mountain Bike License Plate is here! For just $35, you can rep your love for trails—and $25 goes straight back to OMBA to support trail projects across the state. When you renew at the BMV, request the OMBA plate and help keep the wheels turning on advocacy and trail building.

Discover upcoming 2025 trail races, mountain bike events, group rides, and guided hikes across the Cincinnati Off-Road Alliance trail network in Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Stay updated and find your next trail adventure!

Exciting news for Ohio trail riders! A recent change in the Ohio Administrative Code now allows Class 1 electric bicycles (e-bikes) on natural surface mountain bike trails within ODNR, Division of Parks & Watercraft. This update provides more accessibility and opportunities for e-bike riders to explore Ohio’s trail systems while maintaining trail sustainability and user safety.
