Columbia & Harbison Mountain Bike Trail Conditions

Harbison State Forest carries the riding here — a compact, fast network of sandy loam singletrack on the Broad River bluffs inside Columbia. The sand is the point: it drains almost immediately and rides when the region's clay trails are shut, which makes it the wet-week answer in the Midlands.
