Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    ​Most roads and trails in the Loyalsock State Forest are open to mountain bikes. The extreme variability of the topography in this region of the state offers a variety of challenges for all skill levels.

    Mountain bikes are not permitted on the Loyalsock Trail, Old Logger’s Path, or any roads/trails posted closed to mountain biking.

    Electric Bike (E-bike) Use

    E-bikes are permitted on approved mountain bike trails and roads, provided they meet all the following standards:

     

    • Weigh no more than 100 pounds
    • Do not exceed 20 miles-per-hour using the motor
    • Have motors that do not exceed 750 watts
