Trail Description:
This is a great place to practice your technical skills as well as endurance. Most trails form a network that never takes you more than 1.5 miles from the parking lot, but you would never guess it. Pick and choose your trail system, ranging from the main gravel road into the park to more complex log piles, loose, rocky, off camber fun. Explore and you will find plenty of mileage and bike handling excitement. Perfect for anyone who likes to ride with an available option back to the car.
How to get there:
Off of route 22 in Allentown. Take the 15th street exit north (towards Rothrock car dealership). At the stop sign, go forward. At the first light, turn right (about 1 mile off of the exit). Continue on this road. It will wind around through a residential area and then past a large garden on you left and ball fields on your right. Just past the tennis courts on your left, there will be a blacktop parking lot and a sign for Jordon Creek. Park here and use the semi-pavced then gravel road leading into the woods. Pick and choose your trails.
Additional Notes:
I recommend crossing the first two cement bridges. At the top of a small hill, make a 1 o'clock

Just started riding again this year (2010). I never
knew this trail existed until now. I'm not a beginner
but it has been a long time since I rode anything.
These trails are for everyone . You can get nutz if
you want to or just take it easy. Watch out for those
playing frisbee golf . This place can get very busy
but it will be one of the best rides you will have.

Great for everyone... This trail has some great uphills and also some great down hills. I especially love the giant log ride that is on the trail to the left before the first bridge. Great fishing also if you want to bring poles with you

This is my home trail live less then a
mile from it and ride it all the time. At
this time the park is still open to
mountain bikes Thanks to The
Lehigh Valley Mountain Bikers who
regularly work on the trail to minimize
the erosion. There is definitly
something for everyone and still
some trails I will not ride due to my
skill level. Tread Lightly.

Are you tired of driving to ride? Go to Jordan Park and treat it as if it the last time you will ride it because it just may be. The erosion from bikes is getting so bad that the park is considering closing the trails to mountain bikes. Jordan Creek is a gem and offers an awesome ride. If you think it is just ONE trail, you are crazy. There are lots of loops and I have gone over 10mi with only riding the same trail once. There is good technical stuff along the top ridge and fun twisty singletrack in the back of the park on the south side of the creek. But PLEASE, if you ride here stay on the trails and be super nice to others. Always say hello to any pedestrians you pass because they are the ones who will close the park to bikers.

I ride this park all the time. It's close to home and the trails keep me fresh. This place offers a little of everything. Good trails to ride to get ready for bigger and better rides. Some rocks, roots, logs, jumps, short downhills and climbs. You can mix it up and make it something different everyday. One thing, keep an eye out for joggers, walkers and other bikers. It gets tight at times.

This trail is great for a BMX bike, but if you plan on mountain biking I would like to find a trail with more single track, fallen trees and rocks. I would rate this as a good trail to practice your BMX bike skills. There is no terrain, just alot of rolling short hills and jumps. This trail is also located in a public park so look out for baby strollers.
