W. KERR SCOTT DAM & RESERVOIR
MOUNTAIN BIKING TRAILS

They're fast, fun and ready to ride!


Some of the best mountain biking in the Blue Ridge can be found along the scenic shores of W. Kerr Scott Dam & Reservoir in Wilkesboro. The lake is home to over 40 miles of sweet single track with more under construction. The trails at W. Kerr Scott were built by mountain bikers for mountain bikers!

mtn-biking

The trails at W. Kerr Scott include: 

Over Mountain Trail  - A 6-mile single track trail on the south side of the lake with a scenic 2.5-mile side loop. This trail links Bandit's Roost Campground to the Visitor Center at the Dam site and offers the most flowing trails at W. Kerr Scott. Nearly every turn is bermed and the climbs are friendly.

Warrior Creek Trails

 - These 12 miles of trails are some of the more scenic trails at W. Kerr Scott near Warrior Creek Campground. They offer a tougher challenge with steeper more technical climbs and turns. Expect to see more development of these trails in the next couple of years. There’s currently over 7.5 miles of trail with more being built almost every weekend.
