Whether you enjoy a daredevil downhill mountain biking experience or a calm, scenic ride on your bike along an old railroad, or just a peaceful meandering spin throughout our village, you’ll find hundreds of miles of biking trails within close proximity to The Roxbury’s two locations.
Plattekill Mountain Biking
Our local ski center boasts miles and miles of special mountain trails that were specially cut for bike riding. They have trails for every ability level and bike rentals too. Guides are also available for tours during most times. Chairlifts also operate during the summer from 10:00am-5:00pm for biking on select weekends in conjunction with their free summer concert series! Check out their summer biking and concert schedule here.
Catskill Scenic Trail
This 26 mile trail offers a hard-packed surface that makes it perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding and cross country skiing. A unique feature of this trail is its very gentle grade. Young and old will find this an easy and enjoyable trek – through some downright gosh darn gorgeous countryside. And you can access the trail just about a mile outside the village of Roxbury!
Meander Around the Village
Rent bikes a block down the road from The Roxbury Motel at Roxbury General – Roxbury’s supercute store that has so many, well, “general” things to buy, but often in a fabulous way! You can also rent bikes from them to either putz around the village or use for a good workout on the Catskill Scenic Trail.
