SORBA Uwharrie cont...

The Uwharrie Mountain Range is the oldest in North America. These prehistoric volcanoes have been weathered down to the rolling hills covered with thick hardwood forests that characterize the Uwharrie National Forest. A fifty-thousand acre natural playground that is enclosed by crystalline lakes, fascinating historical sites, and fruitful farmlands. The softly undulating hills within the Uwharrie Mountain Range give plenty of opportunities to lose yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of a North Carolina pine forest. Riding along these shaded trails, it is difficult to imagine that these time-worn hills were once jagged peaks stretching twenty-thousand feet into the sky.

SORBA Uwharrie is here to give back to Uwharrie and help protect and preserve such an amazing natural resource while enjoying its inherent recreational benefits.  We do this through sustainable trail design and development utilizing only the best expertise in the industry form none other than SORBA and IMBA.  With your help Uwharrie will be a protected resource for riding and outdoor recreation for all to enjoy to its fullest potential.

Join us for events, social activities, trail work opportunities and of course incredible riding experiences!

Ride Uwharrie!
