Take to the Trails
Experience the breathtaking grounds of the estate from a different perspective on our many miles of biking trails. Choose from our well-marked woodland trails for a more challenging ride, or a more leisurely ride on our paved trail along the French Broad River. Bring your own bike or rent one from us.
Biltmore’s Bike Barn, located on the second floor of Antler Hill Barn, is your one-stop location for all things biking. The Bike Barn is now open through the end of the year (weather permitting).
