Mountain biking in State College
State College is quickly establishing itself as the next mountain biking center, and offers great services from lodging to full-service bike shops that will satisfy every rider, and that’s before we mention the nearby IMBA EPIC ride!
Rothrock TrailMix – one of IMBA's most prestiguous EPIC rides – is just 13 minutes away from downtown State College. This is a fun and challenging combination of trails within Central Pennsylvania's Rothrock State Forest. The whole ride is approximately 36 miles, promising to please even the pickiest rider and give you an extreme workout till your lungs and legs start screaming both painfully and happily.
