Description

Join us for an adaptive ride through the scenic Phinizy Trail system, where nature's beauty is on full display. These trails meander through wetlands, scenic fields, and shaded paths, offering a unique opportunity to experience the serene environment of Phinizy Swamp. Known for its abundant wildlife, this area is a birdwatcher’s paradise, with diverse waterfowl and other animals making their home here.
Catalyst Sports will be on-site to provide trained staff, dedicated volunteers, and adaptive mountain biking equipment to ensure your off-road adventure is a success. Whether it’s your first time or you’re an experienced rider, the easy and approachable trails at Phinizy Swamp are designed for all skill levels to enjoy.
This ride is all about connecting with nature. Take your time, savor the peaceful surroundings, and don’t forget to bring your binoculars to fully appreciate the herons, egrets, and other waterfowl that frequent the area. Let’s ride, explore, and discover together!
