Cape Fear Mountain Bike Trail

Cape Fear Mountain Bike Trail

The Cape Fear Mountain Bike Trail is a feature of the Cape Fear River Trail. Access is located 1 mile north of Clark Park traveling towards Methodist University, not far from the intersection with Eastwood Avenue. This meandering woodland trail is suitable for cyclists and hikers alike.

The Cape Fear Mountain Bike Trail is the result of Fayetteville Cumberland Parks and Recreation gaining support through various volunteer groups, individuals and a partnership with The Bicycle Shop. The trail currently has over 11 miles.

If you are interested in volunteering for trail expansion and maintenance, leave your contact information with a park ranger.

*SAFETY* RIDERS MUST WEAR HELMETS

• RIDERS MUST WEAR HELMETS. It is very common to take a tumble on an off road course and safety is key to preventing injury. There are tight turns and constantly changing conditions which require vigilance and constant attention.
• Take caution at any intersection. Mountain bikers will need to yield to CFRT users.
• Avoid riding immediately after it rains, for safety, and to allow the trail to dry to prevent trail erosion.
• Maintain speeds that allow you to yield to pedestrians and that are within your abilities.
• Patrons are reminded to hydrate appropriately and bring bottled water.  Water is provided by fountain only at Jordan Soccer Complex and Riverside Dog Park (when Covid restrictions are lifted).
