This is where DirtRag Dirtfest is located every year. There are 30+ miles of trails that connect together. There are A LOT of dips. The dips were created on purpose to reduce erosion and lesson trail maintenance. I even joked that this place should be renamed AlleDIPPis. Smooth singletrack with no dabs. No major climbs and no major downhills, flowy singletrack.
Similar Trail: Tsali.

This is what a mountain bike trail system should be -- lots of really fun, flowy singletrack without a bunch of boring fire roads. There are trails with rocks in the southern half of the network, but you can get that in lots of other places in Pennsylvania. The northern end of the trail system is very smooth and fast, and the climbing is not at all painful because it is broken up the rolling flow of the trails. If you are into miles and miles of flowing singletrack, this is the place. Riders looking for drops, jumps, big rocks, etc., will not find them here, but will probably wind up enjoying themselves anyway. This place may be the best mountain bike trail network I have ever seen.
Similar Trail: This place is what Tsali is supposed to be, but Raystown Lake does it better.

Most fun I have ever had on my bike. Grippis trail was a highlight. Best part about this place, after your done the lake is available for a refreshing dip, grab a bite at the snack bar and enjoy the super views.

Epic ride! Super fun fast downhills. You will definately be tested coming back up. Incredibily well groomed. Well marked. Agree with all posts that this is like a roller coaster at times. Trails are 2 way so be careful. Trails are stacked so there are many options. Guys at Rothrock Outfitters gave us a great route! Make sure you hit Rays revenge and Sidewinder and Hydro Loop. Its on a huge lake so Kayaking and Fishing and camping all became a part of this Epic weekend trip.

This trail system is awesome! Very flowing and fast, practically 30 miles of pump track. I didnt encounter and arduous climbs, it was fairly flat with some slight uphills that were never too long. A whole lot of fun and can get some jumps in if you go fast enough. Some light rock gardens and occasional tree down in the middle of the trail so there werent many technical features. Overall a really fun ride you can spend the day at.

The first time I rode this trail I loved it, smooth rolling and not much of any climbing. I have been back a few times since and will continue to go back but as I have been riding more and more I have found that this trail doesn't fit my style too well. I am not one to just go flying out through the trail, I enjoy technical singletrack at a decent pace and like the rocks and roots. (MD,WV riding) I will say this trail is a great place to ride and the group I ride with love it. I love being in the woods so any trail thats bike friendly is on my list. It has something for everyone.

I love this trail. We did it for the second time last weekend. I am intermediate and my boyfriend is an expert rider. We both had fun. This is a trail that both people of all skills levels will love. So far this is my favorite trail on the East Coast.

Thirty-two miles of buttery smooth singletrack bliss, built on the surrounding hill of Pennsylvania's largest lake, Raystown. Trails range in difficulty from beginner to expert with three stacked loops, making the combinations endless. The sustainably built trail system is open year round to all users.
It's not just hype, it's that good.

Drove five hours to ride Allegrippis. We were not disappointed. What a riot. It's a 30 mile pump track. The trails are very fast with constant dips and berms. It's a place where beginner and expert can go and have a good time. The RMBA has done a fantastic job with these trails. It's not technical so don't come looking for it. We loved riding Mynx Monster at Blue Mountain Reservation in Peekskill the weekend before. This is the complete opposite. There is almost no roots,logs or rocks. There are no sustained climbs. It's just fast. We couldn't stop grinning. This is going to be a definite mountain bike destination. The local mountain bikers around Raystown Lake and Huntingdon were really helpful and seemed anxious to have people come. We ride a lot and have traveled to Moab,Fruita and up and down the East Coast. Allegrippis is a spot we'll be back to.

Wow! One of the best MTB trails I have ever ridden. Fast , fun, and not too hard to do the climbs. The newer trail that starts with the "buck and Fawn " trail has hundreds of woop t doos that make for exciting descents and assist on the climbs. Most of them are like small table top jumps. The braver you are the harder you can pull up on the handlebars or ride them like you are on a pump track. Lots of twisty fast turns and the rocky dirt mix seems to hold up well and doesnot errode very easily. The Allegrippis meets up with "red knees, and Locomotive. " The trail to right of the parking area is more of a payment and reward trail that makes you pay for your downhill runs with 5 or 10 min of climbing a few times . Very fast downhill!!!! I Loved every second of riding there.

Having ridden trails across the U.S. - this is one of the must do's. Incredible flow, dips, contours, berms, and great scenery. Not a rock garden or hucker's heaven, rather a forested roller-coaster ride designed by IMBA as a sustainable carpet ride that will not erode into a rutted, rooty, rocky mess. Rode it clockwise except Hydro Loop. The return climb to the car (lake level to lot) is a small payback for the constant grin, and a reminder that there is no such thing as a freeride.. (* For GPS use Hesston, PA mine did not recognize Raystown Lake)

They might as well have paved the trails through the woods. To easy, no sustained climbs, no technical sections with limited views of a beautiful lake. It's a very un-PA trail system and it's completely overrated.
Similar Trail: White Clay Creek and Middle Run, Delaware. Although I think these mentioned are more fun.

Insanely fun , fast, twisty, roller-coaster trails with lots of whoop-de-doo jumps and burms. Well planned, well marked system. Lacking in technical trail features and long, arduous climbs.

Wonderful set of trails! I probably had the most fun I have ever had at these trails. They are in great condition and not too technical that you have to get off your bike every five minutes. Still a wonderful challenge for both beginners or experts. Great uphills and downhills.

The allegrippis trail system is hands down the best I have ridden in pennsylvania. It was well marked, had fun downhills with rollers and nice climbs. I definitely will be going back
