While MT Dora Mountain Bike Trails aren’t the longest, they more than make up for it by having a wide variety of fast-paced, blood-thumping options — from technical climbs to dizzyingly steep drops, there is a lot to love about Mount Dora among other great features that will keep you going back for more. While this seems like an advanced rider’s fun zone (and it is) — don’t be intimidated if you’re a newer rider because Mount Dora absolutely has options for you as well. Mount Dora Trail may be a smaller system but it has it all!

It has a main yellow loop with good flow and blue options throughout. The red section is steep, with some fast switchbacks and sudden drops. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. The Ocala Mountain Bike Association is adding a pump track and an 18-jump flow trail to the Forres Park side of the existing mountain bike trails in Mount Dora.

A few things to note is that Mount Dora also has a warm-up skills area near the entrance of the trails, and there is also a bike shop (Adrenaline Bike Works) that’s just a short drive away from the trails. The trails are also well shaded, but be sure to bring enough water to stay hydrated on your ride.

The Mt. Dora Trail is maintained by the hard work of the Ocala Mountain Biking Association (OMBA).
