OK, I figured out what the problem was now. I had a department store mtn bike instead of one of those fancy air shock bikes that you can get a specialty bike store. With a real bike, this place would be nice. Maybe another year.....

Great trails, incredible amount of work went into building them. All nice tight single track, pretty much rolling terrain with enough rocky areas to keep you on your toes but nothing really crazy. Good stuff, I'm not into superlatives for trails, its all good if its making the most of the area which these definitely do.

I have not checked the reviews here in a long time.I see some guy back in 06 said it was real rocky,he must have ridden down the side of the dam because most trails are buff ,twisty with short rocky sections.I think a lot of people only do the red trail around ,they should try doing the upper trails ,alot longer & not rocky at all.The only thing there is ya have to know how to ride it to get the full lenght.The other guy that thinks he know the best riding in PA I`am sure he didn`t ride all 28+ miles of trail .When we ride (race) it we do it about 3hrs so if ya want to ride it & see all the trails I would be glad to show people around.I`am the guy who made the trails here & yes they are some of the best in PA

Riding is good technical rocky singletrack. I rode the red trail starting from the dam and had a blast. Expected it to be a bit more difficult compared to other reviews. Definitely worth checking out

i should have brought a bulldozer instead of a mountain bike. there's enough rocks on the trail to trip a grizzly bear.
