Trail Description:
If you park on the right of the dirt trail that you come in on, head off the road to the right and you'll go through pine forests with quick turns and a few steep hills.
For a more challenging ride go back the way you came until you see an old overgrown road on your right head down the road and watch for a trail on the right. This is a very long winding and athletically challenging trail which winds around the top of some cliffs and through more pine trees finally leaving you back where you started.
Both of these sets of trails along with some other trails that I don't have time to mention are some of the best places to ride in Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas. Bavington is an all day ride however and it's just not worth going for less than three hours. It's not a place you will want to leave once you get there. Ride on.
How to get there:
a.) 22-30 west to Bavington exit (just before Starlake Amphitheater). Make a left go five miles or so and look for the sign on your right. ("State Game Lands")
or
b.) From 22 heading east take Rt. 164 east through Portage. From PA turnpike heading east take 220 North (exit 11) to Osterburg then Rt. 869 West to Pavia. From I-80 take 220 south to Claysburgh then right to business 220 then left on Ski Gap Road. Approx. driving time from Pittsburgh is 2 hours.
Additional Notes:
Scenic single in-line technical trails long enough to ride all day and hit no trail twice.

No! Do not ride after it rains, that is a horrible idea
for any mountain bike trail. You will destroy the
trails!
As for the quality of this place. It feels like it used
to be great riding a few years ago. As of 2010 it is
pretty awful. There is no trail maintenance done
here, no marking of trails whatsoever, and a large
percentage of the trails are completely overgrown
with jaggers. This might be a good spot for some
fall/winter riding but if you go during the summer
be prepared to be cut to shreds and get lost.
*Also I would recommend going with someone
there have been reports of bears and I've personally
seen bear scat right in the middle of mountain bike
trails. Not that this means you shouldn't ride here,
just be aware

Excellent trail. Many many miles like 30+. Take someone who knows their way or take a gps because you can get lost. Not a ton of manmade obstacles but still a ton of fast rolling fun. Excellent place to ride after a rain because the pine needle beds soak up all the water. It's like the northshore after a rain...perfectly tacky.
