Bikers may use the horse trail from Massie Gap to the campground, the Seed Orchard Road, the old Upchurch Road, and the Service Road. Surfaces are gravel and/or dirt with many rocky sections and stream crossings. Helmets are recommended because of the rocky terrain. Trail maps for hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers are available. <br /><br />http://www.virginiaoutdoors.com/parks/activities/grayson-highlands-state-park/Biking/<br /><br />The mileage around the park is short compared to what you normally ride however. <br /> <br />Also check out;<br /> <br />Iron Mountain Trail<br /><br />North: The Iron Mountain Trail, blazed yellow, A historic 24 mile trail, from Damascus to VA16 at Iron Mountain Gap is shared by many users, yet it has less users than the AT. Hikers, bikers and equestrians co-exist partly because of the vision of the Iron Mountain Trail Club. The trail passes through luxuriant forest, generally following the mountain crest with few steep, long ascents or descents. The views to the south are superb. Except for the parts along the ridgecrest, this trail has ample water. There are three shelters, a number of campsites and many combinations of circuit hikes using the Iron Mountain Trail<br /><br />Dominion Harvest is awesome, but according to their web site they don't deliver out my way,(at least not yet).
