Harold Parker

Harold Parker State Forest


View Larger Map
Primarily located in the Massachusetts’ towns of Andover and North Andover with small portions extending into the bordering towns of North Reading and Middleton.

Harold Parker offers many miles of trails for mountain bikers of all abilities. The forest contains about twenty miles of moderately technical single track that should appeal to a cross-country rider.  There are also many miles of fire roads that offer less demanding, more leisurely riding. Finding and linking together the single track can be a bit confusing. Joining a group ride is probably the best way to become familiar with the forest. Our chapter hosts a regular Thursday evening ride in Harold Parker. Group rides are also frequently posted on the NEMBA and Rage forums.
