Mountain Biking on Catalina
Visitors wishing to mountain bike on Catalina must purchase a permit to do so, issued by the Catalina Island Conservancy. You must buy them in person at the Conservancy Office at 125 Claressa in Avalon, open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (may be closed during lunchtime) or during regular business hours at the offices of Two Harbors Visitors Services. Due to the Island's rugged interior, only mountain bikes with deep knobby tires are allowed, (sorry, no “hybrid” tires) and riders must wear approved safety helmets. Riding is limited to the primary roads. Riding on secondary roads, service roads and hiking trails is prohibited.
Annual Permit Fees are $65 for an individual or $90 for a family permit (includes spouse and minor aged children), valid for one year from date of issue. Daily permits, good for up to two consecutive days, are available for $20.00 per person with a $40.00 per person deposit. The deposit is refunded when the pass is returned.
