Located in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina, The Bike Farm offers riders access to one of the East Coast’s premier mountain biking destinations. This rugged stretch of the Appalachian Mountains boasts dense hardwood forests, steep ridgelines, and granite outcrops carved by millennia of streams. Pisgah’s terrain is known for challenging singletrack trails that weave through lush rhododendron thickets and past cascading waterfalls, including notable sections like the Black Mountain Trail and Sycamore Cove. A small but vibrant mountain bike community calls this area home, fueled by the rich outdoor culture rooted in Pisgah’s history as one of the first national forest recreation areas, protected since 1916.
