Ride at The Ranch

Help us sustain world-class trails and accessible mountain biking for our entire community

Our Donation-Based Model

Panhandle Bike Ranch operates as a nonprofit community park. We welcome all riders to enjoy our trails with voluntary donations that support trail maintenance, youth programs, environmental stewardship, and community access.

Why donation-based? Although we don't agree with it, local county officials consider nonprofit ticket sales as commercial activity. Our donation-based model keeps us legally compliant as a community mountain bike park and helps provide the funds we need to support our mission, operations and trail maintenance.

What's New for 2026?

  • Welcome center  Possibly delayed since Bonner County has denied our building permit twice (we're working on a solution).
  • We are adding Friday shuttles that will run from Noon - 6 pm
  • Four new trails including the opening of our full pro line trail and three new trails from the top of the mountain
  • Air bag for practicing tricks
  • An additional shuttle truck and trailer that will run to the top of the mountain
  • Donation supported parking lot camping (we will be developing a donation supported campground during the 2026 season as well)

All donations are voluntary and directly support our operations and nonprofit mission.
