CONSTRUCTION (05/24/24):
MOUNTAIN ACCESS: Due to construction, access for Mountain Biking will be allowed only to the trails to the west side (Mac’s Back area) and the cross country - Maple ridge trails. For safety and liability concerns, bike and pedestrian and pet traffic will not be allowed in the construction area or on Challenger, Rambler or adjacent trails on McCauley's east side. Please keep your dog’s safe and away from construction vehicles and activity! Heavy equipment cannot stop on a dime!

Call with any questions- 315-369-3225
We appreciate your patience and cooperation!
Mountain bike trail access will be limited due to construction of the new chair lift. Mountain Bike trails will be closed at the base of the mountain- no traffic will be allowed in the construction zone. Access to trails will be on the west side of the mountain (Mac’s Back area). Road Trip will allow access to other trails but there will be no exit to the parking lot on the east side near the base of the lift. If you go in on Road Trip, you will need to turn around, climb and go back the same way.
More information on construction
McCauley Mountain in Old Forge is a mountain bike haven, with 15 miles of professionally built trails and more being developed. The total descent is 2,077 ft with a vertical drop over 600 feet.
20 different mountain bike trails serve all skill levels of mountain biking enthusiasts. There are single tracks, some of which are narrow and rocky, as well as technical, machine-built flow trails with large berms, rollers, and jumps for intermediate and advanced riders. There are also wider, multi-use trails that accommodate cross country and alpine skiers during the winter.
For additional riding, McCauley’s trails link to the MTB network at Maple Ridge, and more trails at nearby Nicks Lake. Free parking is available at the base of McCauley, and the trails access the village of Old Forge via the Maple Ridge Trail network.
