Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Occupying a prominent position on any serious mountain bikers wish list, the Maah Daah Hey Trail is the longest (and possibly the most arduous) mountain bike route in the U.S. (cyclists make up roughly 75% of users but share the trail with hikers and equestrians).

The trail meanders through 97 miles of the most striking landscape in North Dakota, encompassing towering peaks and plateaus, valleys, rivers, and rolling open prairie, and several additional shorter trail units bring the total length of the trail system to over 125 miles. Dotted along the way are ten developed campgrounds and there is also the chance to do some backcountry hiking and primitive camping. You can access the trail system via one of twelve trailheads and enjoy wonderful wildlife watching along the route.
