Wilmington Mountain Bike Festival in the Adirondacks.

The Wilmington Mountain Bike (MTB) Festival is an exhilarating three-day celebration that brings together biking enthusiasts and the local community in a vibrant atmosphere.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Adirondacks, the festival offers on-site camping, where participants can immerse themselves in nature while forging new friendships around the campfire.

Attendees can enjoy live music that will keep spirits high, alongside a delectable selection of local food and craft beer that showcases the region's culinary delights.

This festival is designed for everyone, featuring group rides tailored to all skill levels, ensuring that both seasoned riders and newcomers can explore the beautiful terrain.

Convenient shuttles transport participants to prime riding locations, while kids can participate in an exciting MTB race, fostering the next generation of mountain bikers. With over 25 miles of expertly crafted single-track trails, visitors can navigate the rugged yet inviting paths that the Wilmington area is renowned for.

Wilmington boasts unparalleled access to diverse riding options within two expansive trail networks—the Flume and Hardy Road. Adventurous riders can also tackle the long and challenging backcountry tour on the Cooper Kiln trail, or perfect their skills at the dirt jump and pump track park situated right at the festival site.

In 2025, the event expands its horizons with group rides in the iconic towns of Lake Placid and Keene, adding even more variety to the biking experience.

Celebrate the spirit of mountain biking at the Wilmington Mountain Bike Festival, where every pedal stroke supports the Barkeater Trails Alliance (BETA) and its commitment to maintaining and enhancing our beloved trails.
