Pachaug State Forest in Connecticut features a 58-mile designated motorcycle trail that is open year-round, except during a "mud season" that typically occurs in the spring. This long, looping enduro trail traverses both wooded sections and public roads. The terrain varies from single-track paths to gravel roads, and riders should be prepared for light to moderate elevation changes, tree roots, ruts, and rocks. During drier periods, the trail can become dusty, while wetter conditions may involve deep mud and water crossings.
To legally ride this trail, motorcyclists must have a current, valid motorcycle license and their bike must have a standard motor vehicle registration; ATV registrations are not valid. The trail is marked with small red arrows at turns and intersections to guide riders. It is necessary to stay on the designated motorcycle trail and avoid hiking trails or other multi-use sections that are not explicitly part of the motorcycle route.Dirt Bike Trail System
