Maston

The Maston Allotment: still under review by the BLM, this area has historic mountain biking use but is just now getting wider attention due to the BLM’s Cline Butte Recreation Plan which includes the Maston.  The riding is through flat to rolling juniper forest, with views including all of Central Oregon’s peaks.  The trails are mostly old water canals built back in the early 1900’s.  These provide for mostly singletrack riding that is perfect for early season fitness or training rides.

Thanks to ormtb.com for the location map and trail map.

Official trail markings do not exist yet. Plan on a primitive experience and bring your sense of adventure (wouldn’t hurt to bring a GPS and/or a compass as well). For more info check the BLM website: http://www.blm.gov/or/districts/prineville/plans/clinebuttes/areadescription.php
