Trail Description:
Nice start with a fun downhill that has some rocks, roots, and drops. There are two water crossings on the descent as well - the first one is easy, but the second one is a little eroded, so it's interesting. Make sure you have a lot of speed going into the second one so you can make the next short burst up the hill from the stream. After that you can follow one of two trails. The prefered one is not the one immediately to your right when you come to the fork, but the one to the left that goes uphill. It's a long, but gradual climb to the top of the mountain and then a super fun, smooth, and pretty fast descent to the lake. Then the trail works its way around to where the fork was after the stream crossing. There are some other trails that break off from there, but they're listed in another description. Look for Basset Trail in another posting if you want some masochist riding.
How to get there:
This trail can be found near the Lackawanna State Park. If you leave your car in the park and ride your bike back out to the entrance, then make a right, and then another left, you'll start to go up a hill. This hill will take you up, pass by the ranger station, and then take you downhill to a small bridge. Immediately after the bridge, make a left onto a dirt road. Follow this road for almost 1/4 mile until you see a parking aera on the left. The trail is on the left side of the lot and starts downhill from there.
Additional Notes:
Hardly ever ridden. You're lucky to see one other rider near you most of the year.

Does anybody know of any good downhill trails in Montgomery County? There is one out by my friends house that is pretty sweet, but im looking for something that lasts longer than 5 minutes. Please email me at tigerclaw390@comcast.net

The map here shows the wrong Abington PA. The dot should be far north in Lackawanna County. There is an Abingon in Montgomery County, but you will not find this trail there...
