Ah, summer…the days are longer, the kids are out of school, and it’s a great time of year to grab your helmets and hit the bike trails. But if you want a trail that’s suitable for the whole family, it pays to do your research first.
One great resource is BikeKinetix. Founded by Barbara and Peter Lynn, a couple of avid mountain bikers, their site provides a comprehensive guide to bike trails in the Northeastern US. Their reviews are divided into different categories – romantic, historic, wildlife, covered bridges, beaches, and family – but a lot of the trails fall under multiple ones. The family section features trails that are easy to moderate difficulty. By selecting a specific trail you can find plenty of helpful information including maps (most are drawn by Peter Lynn), directions, path length, terrain description, elevation changes, and trail use. Their reviews offer detailed descriptions of their journeys along the paths as well as historical notes on the surrounding area.
From Maryland to Maine, you’re sure to find a trail perfect for your whole family!
