Trail Description:
Rocks!!! This is a state game lands fire road. It is covered with rocks! However there is a section best described as mud flats. It seems like you are almost continually going down, but there are nice rocky climbs invovled. Also, there are many trails cut in throughout the ride, but I have not explored throughly. Stop at the local bike shop for a trail map. Remember when following the loop, stay on the fire road!

How to get there:
From route 80 (around exit 45?) in the Poconos, follow signs for Camelback Ski Resort. The park is above and beside the resort.

Additional Notes:
I hear there is some killer single track locals have cut in. I personally have only found one, and

I've ridden those trails for 10 years and the only tips I can give for finding trails is that if it looks like a deer trail ride it cause it's probably tracked out enough to have some fun.

lots of scenery with big views, a beutiful place to ride, hidden swamp lakes with lots of cool beaver dams. good single track if you can find it. The downfall though is loose rocks. full suspension is recomended. plenty of room, my son and I have done 18 mile rides and havent hit all the trails.

I finally found the single track. THere is technical downhill single track, and flat windy s/t. Basically there are trails everywhere. You are sure to find something that fits your riding style.
