FAQ
How do I get to Legacy? We're a backcountry private Bike Park accessed by US Highway 93. We are about 1 mile south of the town of Lakeside, Montana. A gate code is required to access the Park which will be sent with the purchase of your shuttle pass. The physical address is 2376 Legacy Park Way, Lakeside, MT 59922. Here is a link to the turn-off for ease of navigation.
Do I need a ticket? A ticket is required for park entry, and tickets must be purchased in advance to receive a gate code. As we often sell out, we recommend purchasing ahead. Please complete our waiver before arrival to speed up the check-in process. Riders aged 6 and under can access the park for free but must have a signed waiver, be accompanied by an adult, and still check in upon arrival. WAIVER LINK HERE.
How does the park work? Guests will ride up the mountain in a Flatbed shuttle, with benches and a sunshade, while their bikes ride behind them on one of our Huck Wagon bike carriers. Each shuttle takes 20 guests at a time to the top of the park where guests can select from a variety of trails.
How difficult are the trails? We recommend our park for guests with some trail riding experience. Riders should feel comfortable standing on their bikes while descending and be able to control their speed on moderate terrain.
Is it safe for me to ride?
This is a downhill mountain bike park, and with that comes some inherent risk. Riders are responsible for making safe choices.
We implement several safety measures to help ensure our guests have a great experience. Our staff are available to discuss trails, assess difficulty levels, and offer recommendations. We highly encourage the "pre-ride, re-ride, free-ride" approach, meaning riders should first inspect a trail at a slower pace before attempting it at full speed. Additionally, many of our staff members are trained as Wilderness First Responders, equipped to assess injuries and call for assistance if needed. We encourage all riders to have a full face helmet.
Is there cell service? Cell service at the park is very limited and unreliable, so please ensure you have everything prepared before arriving. If you have a last-minute change of plans, an immediate response is unlikely.
Do you rent bikes? No, the park has no bike or gear rentals. You should be prepared to bring and transport your own bike. Here is a suggestion for rentals in the area:
Do we allow E-Bikes? Yes, we do allow e-bikes now. You can choose to purchase an uphill ticket and pedal your bike up the uphill trail, or some people will also just ride the shuttle and pay for a full shuttle pass.
Do we allow Fat Tire Bikes? Fat tire bikes over 3 inches will not fit on out racks and are not allowed on shuttle days. Fat tire bikes are welcome to come and pedal on our Pedal and Airbag Thursdays.
Refunds? Cancellations? Sometimes life happens - please read our terms below:

- A. Get cash refund minus 25% of ticket cost, or

Please note: We do not offer refunds unless Park is closed or non-operational as described above, but, ticket holder can transfer their pass to another person for the same date.
- Requests for refunds must be made by emailing booking@legacybikepark.com within 30 days of date of Park closure.

What's the story behind LEGACY?
After years of wanderlust mountain biking trips to B.C., an inspired Marty approached his Mindful Designs partners with an idea every bit ludicrous as it was awesome: a downhill bike park -- right here in our own Flathead County backyard -- modeled after some of the smoothest, most inspiring terrain appealing to the full spectrum of riders abilities.
