Versailles Named International Mountain Bicycling Association Trail Town

Versailles is one of two Indiana towns to earn the designation.

Versailles State Park is a great place for mountain biking.

(Versailles, Ind.) - The International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) has announced the inaugural group of 28 communities receiving the IMBA Trail Town designation. 

The new national recognition honors places that have made exceptional commitments to developing, stewarding, and celebrating trail systems that strengthen community life. 

Locally, the Town of Versailles made the list. 

The IMBA Trail Town designation recognizes communities that are leading with trails by demonstrating strong trail infrastructure, a commitment to trail funding, an active local trail organization, a culture of community engagement, and a sustainable trail stewardship plan. Together these criteria support healthy lifestyles, local economies, and outdoor recreation access.

“IMBA Trail Towns represent communities that understand the powerful role trails play in shaping vibrant places to live, work, and play,” said Jillian Olson, IMBA Community Progress Manager. “These communities have invested in trails not only as recreation opportunities, but as essential infrastructure that supports local economies, attracts visitors, improves quality of life, and builds stronger connections between people and the outdoors.”

"The IMBA Trail Town designation recognizes communities that understand how trails support economic vitality, community health, and outdoor access. Trails are an important part of what makes Versailles such a great place to live, work, and play. We are grateful for our partnerships with Versailles State Park and Versailles State Park Mountain Bikers that help Versailles lead with trails," reads a statement from the Town of Versailles.
