Trail Description:
Surrounded by Penn Wyoming State Forest which is open for public recreation and mountain biking, it offers 180 miles of marked trails spanning 40,000 acres. You will find yourself in the center of Pennsylvania's endless mountains, enjoying one of the Appalachia's most pristine regions.
Explore one of the 14 waterfalls, one as high as 96', or tour with us to the Canyon Vista or High Knob view points.
The local bike shop owner, Craig Shambaugh, should be nominated for trailmaker of the year. Through his efforts, these trails are open and clear which has not been easy due to numerous downfalls from storms. The trails are barely used and get overgrown rapidly. Most trails are single track and forest roads connect them and take you to town and camping. This is the place to plan a weeks vacation. Plenty to do there.
How to get there:
Penn Wyoming State Forest is close to Williamsport and Laporte

yes craig has a tendency to stray off the beaten
path and yes the eagles mere crew can get very
uppity. but hey we all have to learn to get along. i
was up there for the whole of the month of august
for 9 years running. heading back up for the first
two weeks of august for the first time in 5 years.
planning on riding with craig and the EM crew.
anyone wanting to join in (or reach craig) can call
me (bob) on cell 215 681 4229. and finally this is
an awesome place to ride and could be world class
with support and cooperation between mtn bikers,
the em community and the pa state forest. do not
hold your breath for this to ever happen any time
soon.

Sad but true -that they are out of business. I am a 'poor' hunting cabin owner outside of town. It did appear that some of his trails cut through rainbow farms, they now have no trespassing signs.

I rode with Craig for years in Eagle Mere plus helped him design some of trails. Never once did I see him intrude on private property and I know the land very well. The above comment is typical of snobby Eagle Mere people, you really have to watch yourself if you are not rich or have a 2 million dollar house in Eagles Mere. I would like to get in touch with Craig it's been some time. Anyone know his where abouts?

Shambaugh is out of business. He wore out his welcome because he had absolutley no respect for private property - cutting some of his trails thru private land and ignoring warnings to stay off!!!!!!
