Uphill Biking at Spider

Spider Mountain has uphill biking everyday day of the week during daylight hours! Any day that the lift is not spinning you will need to visit our Thunderbird Lodge office to pay a $20 fee and sign a liability waiver. On days when the lift is spinning, you will need to purchase a lift ticket at our main ticket office. Happy riding!

Can I ride uphill when the lift is running?

Yes! You are welcome to pedal up the road to access our trails even when the Texas Eagle is spinning. We require you to stop by the ticket office to purchase a lift ticket and sign the liability waiver.

Can I ride an e-bike?

In an effort to protect the “Freedom To Ride,” Spider Mountain does allow E-Bikes as long as it is a “Pedal Assist only bike.” All E-Bikes classified as motorcycles, have fixed pegs, or are able to be propelled solely by throttle are not allowed unless it is an approved adaptive bike used by disabled riders only. It is the sole discretion of Spider Mountain Management to determine an E-Bikes eligibility in the park, and it can be changed at any time.

Where is Thunderbird Lodge?

Thunderbird Lodge is just a short pedal down the road from the Texas Eagle on the shores of Lake Buchanan.
