Cycling & Mountain Biking

Explore the rolling forested hills, lake vistas, and pastoral farmlands of the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Region. Cycling on road and off is a popular activity featuring experiences ranging from the Chautauqua Gran Fondo event in August which circles Chautauqua Lake, to the Tour of Chautauqua ride through the Lake Erie region. Take a ride from Findley Lake to Panama Rocks or Silver Creek to Cherry Creek and enjoy country roads and idyllic scenery. 

Chautauqua County has some of the best single track and fat tire mountain bike trails in Western New York. We have more miles of groomed fat bike trails than any other county in New York State! Harris Hill Extension in Gerry, home of the annual Harris Hill Hustle, features over 17 miles of single track trails including a skills loop. Both the Westside and Eastside Overland Trails and Long Point State Park on Chautauqua Lake are popular destinations for riders of all abilities. Loud Performance Products, located near the park, offers rentals and weekly social rides, a perfect opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in the local culture. Event dates can be found by contacting the Western New York Mountain Bike Association (WNYMBA.)
