Ride Summary:
Several trails to choose from. This ties some together in a 7 miles loop. Other areas to explore in the park or do multiple loops
Trail Description:
Start at the picnic area and follow the green trail. At 1.8 miles you'll reach an intersection called "White Oak." Just past the intersection is the green-silver trail intersection. Continue to follow the silver trail. Turn right at the blue trail and cross a creek. Follow the blue trail until you find the orange trail and turn right just before heading back into the woods. At 3.5 miles cross Wilkerson Road and continue on the orange trail. Reach the intersection with the blue trail but continue on the orange. Reach Wilkerson Road again and turn right onto the road. Take an almost immediate left on to Rock Run Road. Come to the red trail intersection and take a left. At the intersection of Stafford Road and the red trail, turn left following Stafford. There should be a gate, follow the red trail heading towards the trees. Cross over the bridge and continue on the red trail back to the picnic area. Do the loop a couple times or try exploring other trails in the park.
How to get there:
Take I-95 out of Baltimore heading North and exit on Route 155. Turn right on Route 161 (a.k.a. Rock Run Road). Turn left on Stafford Road and head toward the Deer Creek Picnic area. This is where the trail begins.
Additional Notes:
Susquehanna State Park (410) 557-7994 . Reasonable facilities exist to make a nice day trip.

Bring your machete. Unless you are fond of or immune to poison ivy and trails that resemble the jungle, don't waste your time. I wasted about an hour checking out three different trail systems and all were unaccessible due to overgrowth. These trails are not maintained at all. Maybe fall or winter riding, but in the summer they are not even visible.

Follow up to my previous posting... I recently rode Susquehana for the first time this season. I was pretty disappointed with the overgrowth, as it hasn't been ridden by many lately. The trails lack the maintenance required to keep them going, so they've become pretty slow and lame. Sorry.

I have had the opportunity to ride these trails frequently since I don't live too far away. Lots of great single track, rocky, rooty, etc. Beware of the water bars...

I rode parts of this trail today (6/14). It was a quick ride, about 40 min. out and back. I rode the blue trail that starts with a good climb, not very steep but long and gradual. At the top of the hill the trail opens up into a farmers wheat field. After a short layoff the trail pitches into a descent that is filled with several small trees that are down. They are passable. Get there early in the morning and enjoy.

Ride the red trail!! I rated it "good" only becuase excellant has to be reserved for the one trail always waiting to be ridden. That said, ride these trails for yourself and see what I mean. Worth the drive. The downhill on the red alone! Enjoy!

(This is an update to my desription of the trails below). I've had a chance to ride the rest of the trails in the park. All of the trails are excellent. There is a lot of elevation change and many of the trails or rocky and have a lot of roots, which makes them difficult. Several of the trails run along a ridge overlooking the river and the views are beautiful. The trails are also fairly well marked although I would recommend picking up a trail map at the park office. The main trails are connected by short trails that are blazed in silver. This park is definitely worth the drive from DC, Philly, or Baltimore.
