Click on the map to go to the Map of Groomed Fat-bike Trails

More big news this week here at Fat-bike.com World Headquarters! Seeley Dave has begun work on our Global Map of Groomed Fat-Bike Trails. This is a big undertaking! While there is info on trails that can be ridden in winter, there is much less info in one place on actual groomed trails for fat-bike riding. Some of these trails are seasonal and on land, such as Golf Courses, Swamps, River Bottoms etc., that are not rideable in the warmer months. If you have a local trail that is groomed in the winter, whether an established trail system or a seasonal rideable area, please consider submitting it through our form and Seeley Dave will get it added to our curated map.
