Roaring Run in Apollo

 

  
reviewed by moorhead14 on October 15, 2011

Hartwood Acres is an Allegheny County Park outside of Pittsburgh. It is loaded with singletrack with lots of trees and many rolling hills. This is a great place to ride a singlespeed. I am lucky enough to live nearby and never tire of the place. Hartwood has earned a reputation for fairly technical riding. It is not unusual to pull into the parking lot and run into people who have come a long way to ride there. My favorite was "I'm from Canada, on my way to Florida, I dropped my wife off to go shopping and can you show me the trails?" This is also a good place to ride in the winter if you respect the trails and stay off of areas you could damage. Early morning is best when it is still very cold and the trails are frozen. These trails are being maintained in cooperation with Allegheny County Parks by PTAG (Pittsburgh Trails Advocacy Group).

It is easy to do a 12 mile loop with fun technical sections and tight turns through the trees.
