About Owl’s Roost Trail & Fire Lanes
Distance: 4.3 & 1.2 Miles
Owl’s Roost makes the perfect destination for a workout or outdoor excursion, no matter if you are into biking or hiking. Owl’s Roost was voted the ‘best urban mountain biking trail’ in the country by Bicycling Magazine. The twists and turns along with the undulation make the Owl’s Roost Trail a regional favorite for single-track riding. This trail is rugged compared to some of the other watershed trails and is the most technical ride in the system. 1.3 miles of old fire lanes have been converted to trails to add an extra benefit to the trail. It is sponsored by the Greensboro Fat Tire Society.
