MTB at Hale

Everwild is part of MTB at Hale, a family of mountain biking clinics, races, events, and programs offered by Hale Education.

For more than a century, we’ve been helping people learn, grow, and thrive in the outdoors. With around 1,200 acres of woods, 20+ miles of trails, four ponds, and open fields all just minutes away from Boston. Proceeds from this event support getting youth into the outdoors, through programs including Hale MTB Camp, mountain biking tracks during School Vacation Days, and school-based programs.

Riding at Hale

Hale offers classic New England mountain biking across diverse terrain. So, choose your own adventure! Hale is a place where everyone can enjoy time on two wheels! Here's what to expect when you ride here:

• You enter Hale's main entrance at 80 Carby Street in Westwood and quickly forget that you're only a few miles from Rte. 95 (or 128, IYKYK). 

• Hale is chunky and bony, meaning there are roots, rocks, and elevation changes around any corner. There's also winding singletrack.

• You may find yourself on smoother fire roads and forest paths, or string together technical sections.

No matter how you ride, you'll be fully immersed in natural beauty, and our trails offer a mix of challenges.

Hale's MTB Terrain

Singletrack and Doubletrack: Lots of narrow singletrack goes through dense forests, with occasional wider paths and carriage roads.

Surface: It's rocky, rooty, and uneven. You'll find patches of smooth dirt followed by granite slabs, rock gardens, and techy climbs and descents — why shouldn't uphill be more difficult?

Climbs: They're short and punchy, with trails over steep and rocky uphill grinds. Others are more rolling. A couple peaks on the property can test your leg strength as you pump to the top. The awesome views they offer are worth the climb!

Features and Bridges: Throughout the property, there are all sizes of bridges: short and wide, long and narrow, and even some with railings that will test whether your handlebars fit (they will, don't worry). Ample rocks and boulders are a great way to practice rollers, beaches will teach you to correct your fishtail, and, oh yeah, we have a pretty rad Skills Park with a variety of drops, berms, and jumps.
