Hiking & Mountain Biking

Larger than Manhattan Island, The BALSAMS Grand Resort Hotel's 15,000-acre estate varies more than 2,000 feet in elevation. The rugged terrain ranges from sheer 800-foot cliffs to rolling countryside, with gorgeous mountain, forest and lake views everywhere you turn. Our professional trail master and staff maintain a sprawling network of trails, which are perfect for walking, hiking, climbing and mountain biking. The hiking trail system includes 34.8 miles of safe, well-marked and annotated trails to navigate. The bike trail system includes 39 miles of well-marked and non-motorized annotated trails. Mountain biking guided tours are conducted regularly; bike sales and rentals are available in the bike shop.
