MOUNTAIN BIKING: Jordan Creek Parkway

← PA AQUASHICOLA CREEK PALMERTON PA Single Tracks →

Description

On any given day this park can be very busy with Baseball , Tennis , Frisbee Golf <br />
and Biking. On Wednesdays there are local bike shop group rides. The trails are <br />
used for hiking and trail running and several trails will cross or follow the Frisbee <br />
Golf fairways. There is one main jeep trail from the trail head and all trails lead <br />
back to it. You shouldn't get lost. There are 2 climbs and one is long and <br />
relatively steep the other is more technical. There are several smaller climbs. <br />
The trails are used hard and most are crossed with roots and pocked with rocks. <br />
Average speed is about 6 mph. The entire system leans more to the technical <br />
side of MTBing but remains easy. Many log crossings , a few switchbacks , a few <br />
fast areas. Over all , a great place to get started or learn. Watch out for hikers <br />
and their dogs. Give the frisbee golfers some courtesy and please take out <br />
everything you bring in.
