Anyone have any info or links for mountain biking trail maps? I have found some very short trails near my place in Southern Seoul but having trouble finding some long distance trails. Any help is appreciated.

There is a lake down near Indeogwan station called Lake Baek-woon that has some good trails on the eastern side of the lake...anyone else know of any good spots to go mountain biking???

Head down to the river. Might get some luck around there.

thanks for the tip but im looking to actually bike off-road and not have to dodge all the idiots on the river/stream pathways.

Good luck, many places are not set up for MTB off road biking. Seoul would be least likely to have this. Move out to the countryside and you may find some places to go. But, it's a completely random discovery. If there are any large sized parks on flatter land you may find some hiking trails which can double as bike trails. I do that in my town. But even so, mostly, I do road biking out into the countryside.

Check out this group. It was quite active when I was there a few years ago.

A lot of off-road MTB trails in Korea are pure mental. There is a group called MTBK out of Yongsan that go out. They have a pure psycho offshoot that do trails. They use full body aromor, but some of them have suffered broken backs, necks and limbs.

You have to use the hiking trails. I remember finding some around Bundang that were doable, but most, as mentioned above, can be very intense.

Theres some good ones in the hills around the world cup stadium in Daegu. I live in Jamsil now and miss them a lot...
