Green Ridge State Forest stretches across the mountains of western Maryland with over 100 miles of dirt roads and trails and is especially suitable for mountain bikers. The park has hosted the Maryland Mountain Bike State Championships and has built this permanent 12-mile loop. There is an extensive trail system and many crisscrossing dirt roads which make it easy to explore the forest and take a shorter or longer route. This route has many challenges, stream crossings, technical climbs and descents, beautiful views from both mountain peaks and ridges, and stunning scenery is the valleys. The trails are rocky and there are numerous elevation changes.
