Arcadia Mountain Bike Trail Conditions

Arcadia Management Area is Rhode Island's riding — a large state network of rooty, rocky singletrack through mixed forest, with Big River's sandier trails nearby. Glacial outwash sand drains quickly, so this rides sooner after rain than most of southern New England, and the season runs nearly year-round.
