The trail passes through the day use area and the historic site. Moderate easy climb up the end of the ridge, and then a rocky, technical ride out the spine of the ridge.Great ride if you love Rocks and technical riding. Add a Symbol . OR. This is a very challenging down hill with almost as many rocks as the climb. The tracks have great technical and flow sections. These entries seem to be for a single trails or at most, a trail system of nearly uniform trails.
Did the IMBA Epic per the MTB Project website. This gives you great views of the other nearby ridges.As with most of Rothrock, it's rocky but loads of fun; challenging with awesome vistas to enjoy when you stop. Patton, PA. Pine Grove Furnace State Park.
Also "Flat Rock Trail" is boring double track... considering skipping it by riding all of Sassafras trail instead. I mostly ride the trails around Philly, i.e. This map comes in handy and it is waterproof.
Gifford Pinchot State Park.
Especially rocks.
Trail intersects Toftrees Avenue .1 mile from Waddle RoadState College, PA - Centre County - Central Pennsylvania - Home of Penn State UniversityClinton Avenue East to Mckee Street Bikeway. It's insane.This review is for Lower Trail and Bald Knob Ridge only.
Bike Paths and Trails Near State College PA. Trough Creek State Park. Don't attempt this unless you are sure of your abilities! Take it with you as it can be confusing up on the mountain.Maybe one of the best views of any trail in the area, especially in the burn zone. There is 4,463' ascent and -4,458' descent,Tag a trail, bike, and/or a category.Rothrock is far too large to really review in a single entry. Some tough climbs, but the grades aren't overly steep.You will get worked, but just as you are about to bag it, quit, stop, cry, curse, break a bone, smash your knee into your handle bars, crunch your nuts off your top tube, or endo into a geologically funky rock garden...Rothrock concedes and sends you on a ripping downhill, flowing single tracks, or out the other side of a monstrous rock garden and just as you fall back in love with mountain biking Rothrock bitch slaps you up a steep, rocky, never ending death march climb. I made my way down Galbreath gap tr/Corner Rd/Bear Meadows Rd, to the ski resort. There were a lot of rocks, and it was a bumpy ride. Cooper's gap has it all. As a fairly travelled expert rider, I found these trails to completely catch me off guard, I entered Lower trail off Laurel Run Road and it started off fast, flowy and totally fun. There is 4,463' ascent and -4,458' descent, Before you go. You can get one at Rothrock outfitter in town.
*Note that this epic is more like 30 miles, not 26 as MTB Project states... we ran out of light and had to cut it a little short.
Lehigh Gorge State Park.
The trail explores many habitats in the park, like forests, riparian areas, wetlands and fields. Pretty well marked w/ signs at many trailheads. Etna StationUS- 322 Business to Clinton Avenue
