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.

Nice climb up to the ridge. Tons of jumps, drop-offs and technical stuff on a variety of singletrack down the ridge. Something for everyone. Loved it and going to go back, soon.

Great little park for a nice after work or after class ride, if you attend East Stroudsburg University. With in easy riding distance from anywhere in Stroudsburg or East Stroudsburg so you can leave the car at home. Plenty of off shoot trails offer a change of pace from the normal. Watch out for the homeless village on the ridge.
Similar Trail: Head over to Big Pocono State Park for a nice ride as well. It's about 10 mins away.
