General Description:

Graham Hills takes its name from Dr. Isaac Gilbert Graham, a Revolutionary army surgeon, who settled there about 1785. The trails total about five miles in distance and are geared toward experienced riders. The route winds through the many diverse habitats of this beautiful 431-acre park.

The Trails:

The trails are mostly single track, and can be used in both directions. There are six different marked trails in the park. Enter the trails from the parking lot. You may want to start off on the warm up loop to get your legs primed for the many intense climbs. You will be climbing before you even reach the first main trail. These single-track trails are well-marked and maintained by WMBA (The Westchester Mountain Bike Association). They do a large part of the trail work here.

You will find a variety of technical challenges on these trails: a network of singletrack loops, with logs, rocks, planks, whoop-de-doos, jumps, drop offs, sharp turns, lots of climbs and enough fast twisting downhills to send the wind whistling through that space in your teeth.

Blue Trail: Main Trail. (4 mile loop) Challenges are downed logs, stream crossings, short steep climbs and descents, roots and rocks.

Red Trail: Extreme downhill. Steep with 5 foot rock drop offs in places.

Orange and White Trails: Fast technical single-track. A few drop offs.
