A great way to experience biking in Idaho is to set up your base camp at an Idaho state park. Several Idaho state parks offer excellent road and mountain biking opportunities in or near the park.
People from all over the world come to Idaho to enjoy mountain and road biking in some of the most pristine and tranquil locations imaginable.
For mountain bikers, Idaho has more than 12,000 miles of single track trails and at least twice that in 4-wheel-drive dirt roads.
For road bikers, the Trail of the Coeur D'Alene's is a 72-mile paved path that extends from Plummer, Idaho, to Mullan, Idaho. And don't miss the Coeur d'Alene Parkway. The parkway is part of the nationally famous North Idaho Centennial Trail, a multi-use recreational trail system that meanders for 24 miles from the Idaho/Washington state line. Several of Idaho state parks are excellent base camps for a road or mountain bike adventure. Those looking for cycling adventure should also check out the Ashton to Tetonia Trail in East Idaho.
In Idaho, you can support your sport by purchasing an Idaho Mountain Bike license plate. The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation will use the proceeds for the preservation, maintenance and expansion of recreation trails in Idaho.

The Trail of the Coeur d' Alenes is a 72-mile paved trail spanning the Idaho panhandle between Mullan and Plummer. It was created through a unique partnership between the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, Union Pacific Railroad, the U. S. Government, and the State of Idaho. The trail begins in the historic Silver Valley, continues along the Coeur d'Alene River past scenic Lake Coeur d'Alene and through rolling farmlands to Plummer. Twenty developed trailheads provide entry points, and there are seventeen scenic waysides along the route for picnicking.
