Description: Start at Tohickon Valley Park and follow the RD down towards the pool, but turn at the 1st trail on the right(small wooden bridge at the trail head). When it hits the gravel rd go left and stay on it through the campground. Pick up the trail at the end of the camp sites. There is an upper and low section of the trail. I recommend using the upper section as there are less hikers. Follow the trails all the way to the cliff overlooks and continue past to stover park rd. Cross stover rd and go either left or right as the trail just does a maybe 1.5 mile loop back to stover park rd. I recommend going right. Just follow the trail back to the Tohickon Valley Park. Good ride for everyone. Its a blast for how short it is. Some jumps built off the old 19 century farm rock walls. Nice little sprint climbs, fast rocky downhills and some good technical sections. Recommend going during the week as the place really gets crowded on the weekends with hikers, bikers, and climbers.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by jpo on August 16, 2009
I came here, based on the description, assuming that it would be an easy ride. I just moved, and have been off my bike for most of the summer, so a nice easy trail to get my self back in shape was just what the doctor ordered. Unfortunately this trail was not the cakewalk described here. Loose rock, steep drops, and large roots make this a challenging trail, definitely not for beginners (or just the out of shape). That said, if I was in shape, and my bike in better tune, this would definitely be a blast. Just don't come unprepared.
