Bivalve Trail-this trail is a spur off of the Woodland Trail.Bike to the Woodland Trail (or drive and park in the parking lot) and bike this trail.You can actually park here and bike the Refuge, which would make the most sense. The tour takes about four hours.įirst, visit Toms Cove Visitor Center and pick up a trail map. A list of paved trails follows-please see the individual trail reports for more information.įor bikers who want to see the entire Chincoteague Refuge, or at least the part open to people (which is just the trails), I have a bike route that gets you everywhere, including the hiking trails. Because most visitors make no distinction between the Seashore and the Refuge, National Park Planner has included reviews of the trails in the Refuge, many of which are paved and open to biking.
The majority of the land is part of Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, and most activities in the area fall within its borders. Officially, there isn’t much of Assateague Island National Seashore in Virginia other than the actual seashore. However, the cars in the park drive pretty slowly, so I would have no problem riding on the roads that did not have a bike lane, but I wouldn’t want my kids doing so.

Drivers are now talking on phones, watching movies, and texting. I am usually not a proponent for riding a bike on the street. Past the turnoff to the Campground there is no bike lane on the main park road. The bike lanes make it as safe as possible for kids to bike to their favorite places as well.
Even then, a non-separated bike lane runs to the campground and on to South Ocean Beach, making it possible to get to all beaches and the most popular campground without riding in the street. In fact, a bike lane separated from the vehicles by a wooden rail runs all the way from the Assateague Island Visitor Center on the mainland to the turnoff for the Oceanside Campground inside the park. There are no specific paved trails for biking in the Maryland section of Assateauge Island National Seashore, but you can ride on the park roads, many of which have bike lanes.
