Description
The northern two loops (relative to parking lot) are pretty easy, though the northernmost one gets very muddy. Southern loops are more technical, with some nice rock gardens down at the south end. Both sides have lots of shallow stream crossings, facilitated by rocks.
From the parking lot, turn right at the first fork to ride the northern loops, and left at the first fork to ride the southern end. I like keeping right at subsequent forks to do the whole set counterclockwise.

Review: I have rode the trails probably over 50 times now and still do not get bored of them. Almost all parts of the trail system have great flow. Some roots and rock gardens make the Southern loops more difficult and more fun. True beginners stick to the Northern and middle loops. You can really get a lot of speed here and it can be a blast. My favorite part is the downhill on haycock run.
Review: just went there today and it was MUDDY!I set out to ride the full loop but the mud stopped me in my tracks.I road about 3 and then the mud built up so much my front tire stopped and I flew over my handlebars (almost into the lake). My bike had filled up with so much mud that the tires had locked and the derailleur got stuck, I had to carry my bike back. These are great trails when they are dry but do not go when they are muddy.
Review: This is a great place to ride. The people who build this trail are so dedicated, I see new progress being made every time I go. After hurricane sandy they came and sawed all the trees and compleatly cleared the trails very quickly. Their hardwork is greaty appreciated by me and all the other riders who ride nox. Parking can be a little bit of a mess though, If the main parking lot is full the next best place is the haycock boat launch.All for all this is a great trail and a must go for all mountain bikers.
Review: I rode this trail for the Noxtoberfest ride. It was my first ride there. It was also the day that the hurricane hit. Needless to say, it was wet and slippery. That in itself made the trail challenging(at least to me!)I was lucky though, one guy had to be taken out in an ambulance. The trail is awesome!! I can only imagine how fun it is to ride when it's dry. There were a couple areas where I had to slow down quite a bit...just because of the rain. Overall a real nice place. I plan on going again, when it's dry.
Review: Some of the best maintained trails I have ever road. Love the place.! Hope the Hurricane didn't destroy too much?,
Review: This trail is a blast!!! It's just technical enough to give you decent challenge and yet still be very do-able. VERY well maintained trails with nicely carved, fast flowing sweeps. Must come again. Yes, often!!!
Review: Did my first single track ride here. Great, but challenging introduction.
Review: I was thrilled when I first heard there would be MTB trails so close to our house, but I had no idea they'd be this great. The core group who maintain these trails are passionate and do great work. The muddiness that is mentioned in the trail description is a thing of the past as they work through and firm up the problem areas.
What's left is some sweet, sweet singletrack that is beginner friendly but can be as hard as you want to make it. There are other trail systems I used to ride regularly that I haven't been to in over a year thanks to this place -- it's that good.
Review: Flowy, fast single track. Tons of fun. Not technical but if you pick up the pace it's a great place to sharpen your line and cornering skills. The beauty is by choosing your pace you can make Nox as relaxing or as challenging as you want. Also worth noting- if you exit the Hammer Loop at Rt 563 and turn right (North) owowcow ice cream is .7 up the hill. Best ice cream in the County - if not the world.

Review: Great trail system! Most of every loop seems to have been designed with "FLOW" in mind. Good variety of natural features from smooth singletrack to creek crossings to rock gardens to roots. It's got it all and very beginner friendly but can be ridden at a challenging pace for advanced skill set. Get out an give it a try! Sweetest trails this side of Raystown!
Review: Great trail system designed for beginners and loved by the most experienced riders. Lots of twists and turns on this trail, most of it is smooth but there are a couple rock gardens and gully crossings to keep you on you toes. I recommend parking at Haycock boat launch as the Tower road parking area gets filled up quick even during the weekdays.
Similar Trail: I recommend all mountain bike trails.

Review: Great trails for riders of all levels. The northern loops are a little easier with the trails getting progressively more challenging as you get to the southern loops. Lots of twists and turns with just enough up and down to keep you flowing nicely throughout the whole trail system. Great Scenery throughout the ride with the lake and creek crossings. Check out www.ridenox.com for more information about the trails.

Review: Not so dry anymore. Trails are still in great shape. Fun trail system with good flow. These trails will only get better. Gulleys a plenty. Stream crossings, rock gardens and plenty of roots. The only thing missing are the signs. Not even one sign? Good thing its a loop! Would be nice to know where you are and which trails are of greater difficulty. That being said, cant wait to go back!

Review: Fun, fun, fun. Bank turns, plenty of trails to fill a day. Very nice for working on speed. The trails are nice now, so ride it before they erode...I give it 5 years before it starts getting tricky.
Review: Nockamixon is finally dry! So much fun now that they are quick and rut-free. Just about the most unique trail-system I've seen in Eastern PA - a lot of different looks throughout the ride. Not difficult, but will sharpen your trail-handling skills. It's all tight single track. Great place to get a 60-90 minute ride in after work.
Review: Living beside the trails couldn't ask for much more! Well maybe DRY would b good!!!! Killer trails wicked fast!!!!
Review: These trails are a lot of fun - great flow, nice crossings - they seem well thought-out and cared for. Nothing too hard or challenging (like someone said, just enough for a true beginners). But a real good time. I read the reviews here and rode the “hard side” and the “easy side.”
The “easy side” is super easy and the “harder side” was more fun. The trails were seriously sloppy when I went. I could only wish to get back when they are dry. Great place. I hope to return.

Review: Trails have a good flow.
I would rate these trails as intermediate. Just enough rocks and hilly sections to discourage true beginners.
These trails stay muddy for a couple days after rain.
Stream crossings are well constructed with rocks.
There are several loops that can be stacked to lengthen the ride. Can easily range from 2 miles to 10.

Review: Trails are arranged in a stacked loop configuration, with a lot of rocky stream crossings. Pretty easy place to ride (I took my cousin here for his first mountain bike ride, and he did OK). I would say there is just enough challenging terrain here to make it interesting. Don't miss the rock garden area at the far south end - it's a blast if you're into that kind of thing.
This is an active hunting area - be sure to wear something bright during the season.
