Sitting at 4,848 feet in elevation, Snowshoe Mountain is
covered with long and short trail rides, loops, backcountry
experiences and technical riding opportunities across its
11,000-acre backcountry. Riders will be greeted with rolling
mountain vistas and babbling brooks while riding through
the dense forest.

In the future, Snowshoe Highlands plans to develop two
additional ride centers in nearby recreational areas in order
to become an IMBA Regional Ride Center, which requires
three additional ride centers to be located within two
hours of it. This next phase is part of its vision to establish
West Virginia as a true mountain biking haven.
Snowshoe Highlands IMBA Ride Center
One of only five of its kind in the Mid-Atlantic region, the
Snowshoe Highlands IMBA Ride Center is a world-class
network of mountain biking trails nestled deep in the
Monongahela National Forest in Pocahontas County.
While Snowshoe Highlands has been a top destination
for mountain bikers on the East Coast for several years,
the new bronze designation given by the IMBA situates
the center in a class shared by only 40 others in the world.
This designation ensures that the ride center has large-
scale facilities with trails available for every level of rider.
Mountain bikers can expect a full-spectrum, well-rounded
destination experience when visiting Snowshoe Highlands.
