MOUNTAIN BIKING: Glenn Park

← PA LACKAWAXEN RIVER HAWLEY PA Single Tracks →

Description

Glenn Park offers a pretty good 4x4 road and double track trail to the top of the ridge where is joins with powerline access roads that run the length of the ridge. From the top you can get a great view of East Stroudsburg University, Broadhead creek below and the rolling hills of the Pocono's.
I usually take the trail from the ball field along the creek up into the woods and take a right after the first small climb. This trail will loop you back above the ball field and put you on a nice double track trail on the side of the ridge. When you come to the intersection take a left and follow that trail to an open clearing with about 4 trail options. The on to the right takes you to the top and the powerline roads. It is a decent climb and a nice downhill on the way back down. Since this is a network you will be able to take any trail you wish. Be carefull though, many of the trails come out far away from the ballpark at the bottom of the hill.

There has been quite a bit of clearing in the woods but the trails are still in pretty good shape. Some single track is around but most of the trails are double track and 4x4 roads. Plenty of jumps on the downhills as well.

Directions

Traveling East on I-80 take exit 307 the PA-611/PARK AVE exit toward PA-191. Turn RIGHT onto PARK AVE/PA-611. Turn LEFT onto ROBESON ST. Turn LEFT onto BROAD ST/PA-191. This will put you driving back in toward downtown Stroudsburg. You will need to turn right on Collins Street I think is the name. There is a small sign on top of the street sign that says Glenn Park ->. Try to look for that. Follow that road past all the houses and you will see the baseball field to your right down a little hill. Turn in and park at the ball field. You trail starts out running alongside Broadhead creek, so if you like to fish take your rod along. <br /><br />Driving West on I-80 Take exit 307 and take a left at the top of the ramp. This will put you on PA-191 heading out of Stroudsburg. Right after the Pocono Record Building that will be on your right you will turn Left at the street that has the sign for GLENN PARK about the street sign. I think it is Collins St. But I am not sure. Follow Directions about from that point.
