Private Property — Waiver Required

Western Slope Trails are located on private property owned by Massanutten Resort. All trail users must have a valid trail pass and must sign a risk and release waiver before accessing the trails. Passes are available at the trailhead kiosk or online. Unauthorized use is not permitted.

Western Slope Trails is Harrisonburg’s premier natural-surface network—32 miles of mountain biking, hiking, and trail running built and maintained by our community. Pass fees and donations keep it free and open for all.
