Description
This is not a MTB trail, a Rail-trail, or a road ride. What it is is unique, and an all weather ride.

Closed in 1968 this was part of the PA Pike. Although there were plans to turn it into a nice paved bike path. For now it has been left to nature to take care of. Although there is enough pavement left for road bikes, wider tires would be recommended. There are 2 tunnels 3/4 and 1 1/4 miles long, requiring the use of lights. For liability reasons the trail is "officially closed" but is really open. For more info and history.

Review: Pretty cool change of pace. except for the trail between parking and roadway easy riding. Significant elevation change but modest grades.

Review: Abandoned turnpike highway with 2 really cool, and long tunnels. Out and back. Really cool with the family. Take lights into the tunnel as it gets pretty dark in there. Road bikes will have to zigzag around the grass growing up on the trail.
