Fat Tire Bike through Swaner Preserve
AdventureModerateWinterSpring
Pedal through this 1,200-acre wildlife refuge on wide tires designed to glide over snow and soft mud.
Itinerary tips
- 1Book your rental at Jans or White Pine Touring well in advance, as fat tire bikes often sell out during peak ski weekends.
- 2Allocate roughly 2 to 3 hours for the preserve loops to account for the slower pace of pedaling through snow and mud.
- 3Park at the Swaner EcoCenter or the nearby Newpark Town Center where public parking is free and trail access is immediate.
- 4Wear waterproof winter boots and moisture-wicking layers, as traditional cycling shoes will get wet and cold on these soft trails.
- 5Carry a small backpack with water and a map of the preserve, as cell service can be spotty near the wetland basins.
- 6Check the local grooming report before heading out to ensure the snow is packed enough for tires to gain traction.
