​Otis Mountain Recreation Area is a 1940’s ski hill that has evolved into a challenging mountain biking destination, and is the home of the Otis Mountain Get Down music festival.  

Mountain biking

​This area consists of over 600 acres of privately owned land and includes several summits, breathtaking views of the Giant Mountain Wilderness Area, a waterfall, and a large heron rookery on the property. The trails range in difficulty from lowland cruisers to technical, challenging climbs, as well as natural and man-made features. 

There's a map kiosk at the entrance that has recommendations on where to start your adventure.  Experienced riders should check out BTW, Flowbee, Widowmaker, California and Upper Currey. Beginners will enjoy the Wookie Loop and Lower Currey, and venturing up GBH.
