MOUNTAIN BIKING: Roaring Creek Watershed

← PA CHILLISQUAQUE CREEK WASHINGTONVILLE PA Single Tracks →

Description

Gravel and dirt forest road that runs along the Roaring Creek reservoir and watershed. I great ride for beginners. Mile markers are posted for the 8 miles out and 8 miles back. Tables and porta-johns are spaced out over the whole ride. Plenty of places to stop if you wish and enjoy the views of the reservoir. You can fish to, catch and release. There are a few areas that are not open to the public so stay alert to those if you try to head off the main trail.
You can go hammer out a nice 16 mile ride or take your time thru the woods and try to see the wildlife. Last time I was out I saw deer, turkeys, woodpeckers and an oriole.

Directions

From I-80 West of Bloomsburg take exit 224 (the Danville Exit) get onto PA 54 East toward Danville. Go straight thru Danville and follow PA 54 thru Elysburg. You will enter a noticeably more wooded and mountainous area. The Trail head will be on your left almost right across the road from Aqua Pennsylvania. <br /><br />From Bloomsburg, PA and points East on I-80 you would take PA 487 south to Elysburg and catch PA 54 East there. <br /><br /><br />From Sunbury take PA 61 to PA 487 toward Elysburg then get on PA 54 <br /><br />There is a trail head at the other end on PA 42 as well. <br /><br />This trail is part of The Wyoming State Forest.
