Grants Pass
Dollar Mountain Trail System
A new multi-use trail system is poised to become Oregon’s premier mountain biking destination
A New Draw to Southern Oregon
In 2019, the City of Grants Pass set out to build Southern Oregon’s first year round trail park. The result is Dollar Mountain — an all user recreation area featuring thoughtfully designed, modern trails built with mountain bikers in mind.
Supported in part by Oregon Lottery funding, the former goat farm has been transformed into a regional draw, poised to enhance outdoor tourism, attract visitors, and generate a boost to the local economy — and it’s quickly gaining momentum as a premier biking destination!
A Mountain Biker’s Delight
While Dollar Mountain welcomes hikers and riders alike, it was intentionally designed as a mountain biking wonderland. Professionally built trails combine smooth flow lines, technical features, and varied terrain that make the most of the site’s natural slopes and views. Purpose-built routes span beginner friendly loops and challenging descents, supporting year round riding for all skill levels. Smart planning and modern design transformed Dollar Mountain into a dynamic, durable proving ground for the growing mountain biking scene — in Grants Pass and beyond!
Shared Use / Multi-use
Trails for All
designed for shared use
From the start, Dollar Mountain was designed to be welcoming and accessible for a wide variety of users. Trails include child‑ and beginner‑friendly options that invite new riders and families to get outside and build confidence, alongside routes that accommodate adapted mobility bikes so more people can experience the landscape. These features reflect a commitment to inclusivity for the whole community.
At the same time, thoughtful planning helps hikers and mountain bikers enjoy the trail system together where it makes sense. Purposeful layouts, designated trail types, and clear use expectations all help reduce conflict and create positive experiences on shared routes. The result is a trail system that balances adventure with accessibility —intentional design that supports safety, enjoyment, and connection to the outdoors for everyone!
Your Lottery Play Helps Support Oregon Parks
Oregon Lottery funds help make projects like Dollar Mountain possible. After the City of Grants Pass acquired the land, a $350,000 Oregon Parks & Recreation grant funded by the Oregon Lottery helped kick off trail construction and bring the community’s vision to life. Since 1998, Lottery support has played a vital role in protecting and enhancing both state and local parks across Oregon. Every ticket you purchase, every game you play, helps develop spaces that strengthen communities, support outdoor recreation, and keep Oregon’s special places available to us all.
