Bicycle Activities

Year after year the most popular activity in Sunriver is biking (or cycling). With over 30 miles of improved paths within its boundaries and several unimproved trails outside them, there is no shortage of places to ride. Two bicycles are provided with the unit. However, if you need additional bicycles or desire special equipment such as a tag-a-long or tandem, look to the companies offering rentals to meet your needs. For those interested in a more adventurous off-road experience, check out the guided tours that are available. If you're new to mountain biking, or your skills could use a little polishing, consider getting instruction from a professional. Guests looking to head out alone can choose from other options including mountain bike trails and shuttle services. Please note: Throttle-controlled Class 2 and Class 3 electric bicycles (aka e-bikes) are not allowed on Sunriver pathways.
