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. 

    A two-mile bike trail connects the Furnace Stack Day Use Area with the Laurel Lake Day Use Area.

    Once the railroad bed of the South Mountain Railroad, the trail surface is crushed limestone or paved.

    More than half of this route is on Old Railroad Bed Road and shares the road with vehicles.

    Bicyclists are advised to use caution because all trails are shared with pedestrian traffic and some are open to motor vehicles.

    Biking Rules and Regulations

    Pennsylvania state law requires all bicyclists under the age of 12 to wear an approved helmet.

    All traditional bicycles (bikes) and electric bicycles (e-bikes) are permitted on state park roads and any trails designated for biking or mountain biking.

    All riders are required to maintain safe speeds at all times and comply with recommended and/or posted speed limits.
