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. 

    Accessible from the State Park Lane trailhead, six loop trails twist through the woods and up-and-down hills.

    Each loop is about 1.5 miles in length, totaling 9.8 miles.

    These single track natural surface trails are a maximum 24 inches wide, with log obstacles and stream crossings.

    They are considered “most difficult” by Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ trail standards, but “easy” by International Mountain Bike Association standards.
