    Private & DCNR

This is a continual climb that will bust a lung in a few spots that takes one up across private property to DCNR land. Cutting left across the gas line and then a short stint with a"grunting" steep climb to the intersection of Tussey Mountain Tr at the infamous local landmark known as the beer tap. This is typically open all year BUT BE RESPECTFUL of the local hunting seasons that run Mon - Sat during certain time and limit you use during those periods

Access Info

Off the Tussey Mountain Trail or from Corner Rd
