Description: Awesome trail in the vicinity of Philadelphia, its about 1.5 miles from the Art Museum and makes for a great after work ride. Its easy to get lost there so, especially in summer so its good to with someone who knows it, but there are a few main gravel roads that the trails dump out on so you can always take them back. Entrance is on the east side of the park. The trail winds through west fairmont park. There are a ton of log crossings, some stream crossings, tight and twisty single track, with quick up hills and descents. I ride SS there and the park seems made for it. Lots of trail back there, there is no set route but there are many different loops you can devise to customize your ride. Please be ethical by not riding here after the rain because locals have put a lot of work into maintaining the trails.

Had another great ride today to start the New Year and even brought my dog. Found another whole section of trail and we both had a blast. Nice that there's next to nobody on the trails, yet they're in great shape!

Super fun trail system. Rode it twice yesterday and had a blast. As per the description, tight singletrack, logovers, log skinny's, quick ups & downs, stream crossings. Just a flat out fun option if you're looking for a change of pace from lung-busting Wissahickon.
