Vassar Farms
20 reviews
4.6 of 5
Vassar Farms has something for everyone, it has a long gravel fireroad if your just looking for an easy cruise, but it also has some of the tightest and most technically difficult singletrack in the area. Together with some North Shore style stunts, big drops, plenty of dirt jumps and enough log crossings to make a bash guard a worthwile investment, this place will leave you begging for more. All in all, one hell of a ride.
Coming From Rte. 9, take rte. 44/55 arterial to Raymond Ave. Follow the signs for Vassar college. Go past the entrance of the school to the end of Raymond Ave. At the intersection of 376 you will see a dirt road in front of you, enter there. Follow that to a big parking lot. The trail head is back the way you came about 100 yards or so, on your left after the pond.
Summary: Vassar is a fun place to ride with a good variety of terrain. I was stoked to read about some of the improvements planned for this year. I went out Sunday to do some raking and cleanup. I wasn't able to get to all the named trails but I made a dent in it. I hope this helps with getting the improvements started. See you on the trails.
Recommended Route: I usually ride the ridge trail to the named trails.
Other recommended trails in the same area: 909, Hunter Mtn.

Summary: Vassar rocks! I can not wait until this season. There are many new trails and stunts planned for this year. Most of them are pretty significant. Scotty's Trail will be returned to its former glory with some new improvements of course, the Split Tree stunt is finally happening, Watch The Gap will be built if only I can find a way out, and I can't even give away the big secret yet. Just wait and see; they'll all be built. I know I say that every year, but this year I have help and hopefully do not have to repair as much as last year. A lot of the older stunts had to be replaced and/or removed last season much to the chagrin of myself and others. Progress will be made however! It looks like we will get an early start to clean up too, if the weather keeps on its current track. So if you see me or a group of guys out raking one day help us out a bit if you can. The better start to the season we get the better chance the new trails will happen. Let's all try to stay on the trails this season and stop cutting shortcuts. The trails were designed the way they were for a reason, let's keep them that way.
Recommended Route: Same as I always say. Start at flat-track, end on the named trails. Don't forget church though!
Other recommended trails in the same area: 909, Ninham, Stewart, etc...

Summary: I have been riding at Vassar for about a year now. Vassar offers a good variety of singletrack, short hills and drops, and stunts. Vassar is also close so you can get a good workout in a short amount of time. The trails for the most part are pretty well maintained and dry out fairly well after it rains. As the last reviewer said, please respect the trails and the amount of work that goes in to maintaining them. Take a few minutes out of your ride, especially in the spring, and pick up loose sticks and debrie so that it doesn't end up in someones derailer. A little bit here and there can make a difference. All in all Vassar is a fun ride and worth checking out. Also, if anyone is interested in taking a morning or afternoon in the spring to clean up and repair the trails I would be interested.
Recommended Route: I usually ride flat track and take the ridge trail to Blair and those trails.
Other recommended trails in the same area: 909, Hunter Mtn. in the summer.

Summary: I have been riding at vassar for a long time now. This place has it all, you can go out and spin,hit some jumps or try out some more advanced style of shore trails.The stunts are creative and well built,good and strong not a lot of flexing.The only down side to the farms are the people who trash out the trails.I have seen things built and two days later they are gone.I wish people would respect the hard work and time ot takes to build and maintain these trails.
Recommended Route: It depends on the ride and the bike you brought.For a good cross country spin start off on flat track to warm up,dont forget the church trails.
Other recommended trails in the same area: 909,blue mt. and putnam park

Summary: Well, it is that time of year again to go out and hit the Farms. Clean up is under way to undo the damage caused by Mother Nature and those people we love to hate. You know who you are. There are many stunts in a state of disrepair so be careful when riding until everything is back to normal in a few weeks. Also, tread lightly until the mud is dried up too, we do not want to create and more mud pits back there do we? There are going to be many things happening back there this year so for your own safety, please stay off all unfinished stunts, and look before you drop, you'll be happy you did. Trust me. Any way, if you see us out there in the next couple of weeks, please don't be afraid to pick up a rake and/or shovel. We need all the help we can get to have these trail up and running soon. See you out there...
