Mountain of the Rogue Trail System
Southern Oregon's first purpose-built mountain bike system, on BLM land a few minutes off I-5 at Exit 48. About 13.5 miles of trail are laid out so the riding gets more technical the higher you climb. The lower loops are flowy, with rollers, tabletops and big berms, and the upper trails turn rocky and technical. Its sun-facing slope keeps it rideable nearly year-round.

Tips
- Mountain biking · Free
- Go for: A winter ride when everything else is muddy.
- Good to know: E-bike friendly. Poison oak lines the trails in summer, so wear long pants. The Rogue River Greenway at Valley of the Rogue State Park sits right below for anyone not riding.
