Opening Day Dunmore, PA - Overall the trails are rocky, but what do you expect riding in the Coal Country Mountains of PA? My knees are on fire from 6-7hrs of pounding! Some Green trails are more like Blues - could prove a challenge for young or beginner riders. There are lots of fun creek crossings and and muddy spring run off areas. Cool Landmarks like The Reservoir, The Tunnel, Burned out Bus, and "Top of the World" 360° views! There seems to be a lot of future trail ops out there as well. Check out the Ride Report link below.

Nice pictures and review. Bummer its so rocky but I guess if I can ride Michaux State Park I can ride anywhere! My biggest disappointment is that it sounds like my daughter who is 9 won't be able to ride there on a 90cc.

goog report thanks sounds like your knees are ready for a sidexside.

Looks like a very nice day...I "hear" you on the knees...

Man, I would have loved to be able to have gone. I wont be able to get out riding atleast until some time in june. Are all trails oneway like the old park? Is it bigger than the old park?

There is a beginner's area of trails at the head of the system. Tony said he is going to be working on getting that more kid friendly. No gravel pit though, which was great for the kids (and adults!).


Maybe for the wife, but not me!


There are a lot of tight two way trails - take caution as there were a lot of young guns out there who weren't. The one way trails tended to be more technical and rocky. I think this park is bigger, but the trail map won't reflect it yet. There are a ton of unmapped trails out there to be explored and added. The natural beauty of this area outweighs the last location as well.

Bigger man was here

You're BIG

Glad to hear opening day went well. I was up there from 2 to about 4 just checking the place out. There was a poker run in Hallstead in the morning so I could not put a full day in. I am going to try and make it next weekend to try out all of the trails. The hard part about the green trails is that you have to ride over some rocky stuff but then the trail seems to flatten out and you can really rip it. The beginner area is OK for the 90 but the trails are a bit long and your little guy might get bored/tired before you get back to the trailhead. I wouldn't let reports about the rocky sections discourage you from bringing him.

Glad to hear its open. Thanks for the pics and report.
