Mountain Bike & Hike for FREE when staying in a cabin or camping!

**Does not include mountain bike. Mountain biking is only allowed Friday - Sunday. Snow shoes and cross country skis are also permitted. BYO


Brown County, Indiana was voted one of the greatest areas to ride trails in North America by Bike Magazine in March 2009. The area offers miles of flowing trails, scenic vistas, and amazing terrain making this a world-class destination for mountain biking and is quickly becoming a favorite Midwest destination.


eXplore Brown County has over 30 miles of challenging single and double track trails over some of the most rugged terrains in Brown County.  Our old school trails are slightly rougher with more ups and downs which makes our trails very fun and challenging.


We are exceptionally bike friendly, and love having dirty and sweaty people come play and stay with us! Uphill ATV shuttles are available by Q's Bikes. When you camp or stay in cabins, bike wash is free. You can store bikes in your cabin or at your campsite. Q's Bike is your full service bike shop for repairs, bike sales, guided tours, shuttles and rentals.


We require that all riders do the following: 

  • sign an activity waiver located at an eXplore Brown County office 
  • wear helmets while riding on our property 
  • follow all trail signage 
  • as always: Pack it in, Pack it out.

We are centrally located near other bike trails in Southern Indiana: Nebo Ridge, Hickory Ridge, Gnaw Bone and Brown County State Park are all a short ten minute drive from eXplore Brown County. If you are a road rider, ask at an eXplore Brown County office for a 10, 20, or 50 mile road route from our facility.


Activity fee cost | $5 per person all day, all riders and hikers must check-in at the Harvest Hall office prior to riding the trails.  After hours check-in at front porch of Harvest Hall. Hot showers are available after your ride | $2 each.
