NEWRY – After a four years hiatus, Sunday River will again offer lift-served mountain biking.

In 1991, the resort was one of the first in the country to offer the service.

The resort’s new owner, Boyne USA, OK’d mountain biking late last summer. The Sunday River Mountain Bike Park will open on June 27. Mountain biking and scenic chairlift rides will be offered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Columbus Day Weekend, according to a resort release.

The resort’s Mountain Bike Park closed 2003, but was re-opened late last summer with Boyne’s arrival.

Downhill mountain bike trails called Grease Monkey, Moose Tack, Tombstone and the Crater Trail wind their way down from the summit of North Peak. In total, Sunday River will offer 20 miles of trails at varying levels of difficulty with lift service on the Perfect Turn Express Quad.

Rider services and tickets are available at South Ridge Lodge. Mountain biking season passes are available for $249.
