Yad Mordechai Forest North Singletrack

Compact, flowy singletrack weaving through the Yad Mordechai forest in southern Israel. Expect mellow rollers, a few short punches, and plenty of shade from pines and eucalyptus. It’s classic XC terrain—nothing extreme—great for a quick spin or an easygoing loop with friends.

The collection covers the northern side of the forest, with short links you can stitch into longer laps using nearby fire roads. Most segments ride well in either direction, so mix it up. Surfaces are mostly hardpack and sandy soil; after rain the ground firms up and feels extra fast. Winter–spring is prime time (cool temps, wildflowers). Summer can be hot—go early and bring water.

You’re a short hop from Kibbutz Yad Mordechai and the coastal plain, so views flip between green forest and open fields. Watch for hikers and family riders on weekends, and keep an eye out for thorns off-trail. Enjoy the flow and keep it smooth.
