Hidden Valley
Recreation Area

Whether you like to get airborne or keep the rubber on the ground, Hidden Valley mountain bike trails feature 8+ miles of purpose-built singletrack, with everything from a beginner level skills course to the Ely Airlines jump line. Progressive loops include epic climbs through majestic pines, fast flowy downhills and challenging rock features. Most trails are groomed for winter fat biking. Connections to the paved Trezona and Mesabi Trails as well as endless gravel riding through the Superior National Forest.

Design and fundraising is underway for the expansion of Ely’s mountain bike trails, with ground-breaking planned for 2024.
