Mountain biking at Sugarloaf

Sugarloaf Bike Park in Carrabassett Valley, Maine, offered lift-served downhill mountain biking during the 2026 season, with access via the Whiffletree Quad.

The resort now lists the bike park as closed for the 2026 season. Its published season schedule gave October 18 as the closing date. Check the official bike-park page for the next season's dates, tickets, lessons and trail information.

Mountain biking around Sunday River

Sunday River's current mountain-biking guide highlights trail networks in the Bethel area, including Bethel Village Trails and Bethel Community Forest. It also points riders to Mt. Abram Bike Park, a separate lift-served destination in nearby Greenwood, Maine.

Check access, trail conditions and operating dates directly with the trail network or bike-park operator before travelling.
