Blueberry Lake - Green Mountain National Forest

Description

The Blueberry Lake trails were designated in 2013 as an International Mountain Bike Association Model Trail-Gateway network and are great for beginners.

Head to Tootsie Roll first for smooth surfaces and gentle grades. Next try Flying Squirrel for a fast and fun ride through the trees. Lenord’s Loop adds more challenge with more climbing and descending on bermed switchbacks and rollers. Suki’s Alley and Amenta’s Way are super flowy with rock features and optional jumps. Look for views of the lake from Tootsie Roll, the beautiful birch forest of Flying Squirrel, and a mountain lookout from Amenta’s Way. These trails are very popular for hiking and trail running too.
