Biking is a popular activity in the park. Currently, there are no formal bikepaths, but beginning in 2009 a section of the park's new multi-use pathway is scheduled to open to the public. The pathway section from Taggart Lake Trailhead to South Jenny Lake is scheduled to open in the spring of 2009 with the section from Dornans property line to Taggart Lake Trailhead scheduled to open during the fall of 2009. Unique regulations apply to the multi-use pathway. More information will follow upon opening.
Some roads in the park have only a very narrow shoulder, or lack one altogether. Extreme caution must be used. Download the Biking brochure for a map of suggested routes and be sure to follow the guidelines below:
Safe Biking

- Ride bicycles only on roadways, not on trails (trail riding is not permitted).
- Ride on the right side of the road in single file.

- Use hand signals to communicate with drivers.
Regulations
- Bicycle riders in the park and parkway must obey the same rules and regulations that apply to motorized vehicles.
- Bicycles are allowed only on paved and unpaved roads, unless otherwise posted. Bicycles are not allowed on any park or parkway trails or in any backcountry areas.
- Riding a bicycle abreast of another bicycle on paved roads within the park and parkway is prohibited. Ride single file for your safety and compliance.
