| Lehigh Gorge | Lehigh Gorge State Park runs 26 miles from White Have to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. The trail is an easy,
flat ride along an abandoned railroad bed, with scenic views of the steep mountainous terrain cut by the Lehigh River.
The crushed gravel trail is at a slight downhill grade from White Haven south. If you want to do the entire ride, a shuttle service
provides a dropoff/pickup at White Haven and Rockport. | | 26 Miles |
| Rothrock State Forest | Located just east of State College, Rothrock State Forest is a wilderness area with over 100 miles of
gravel roads, doubletrack trails, technical singletrack, and hiking trails. There are several overlooks on trails throughout the
forest providing views of the surrounding countryside.
Note: Most of the gravel roads are open to motorized traffic. Use caution when travelling on these roads. | | 100 Miles |
| Switchback Trail | In the 1800's, this trail was a railroad used for transporting anthracite coal from the mines near Summit Hill
down to the coal chutes on the Lehigh River. Known as a gravity railroad, it transported the train cars filled with coal down
the mountain powered by gravity alone.
Eventually, it began carrying thrill-seekers down the 9 mile route. Over the years, this became a popular tourist attraction,
and led to the development of the modern day roller coaster.
The route is mostly doubletrack, with some road crossings along the way. If you ride the trail, be sure to take the Mt Pisgah
trail up to the top, where you will have a nice view of the Lehigh Gorge and River. Be aware that some sections of the trail
are not marked, especially at road crossings. | | 15 Miles |
