      Losing this trail to the PA Game Commissions cut and dry no bikes policy is a blow to local mountain biking. At the least they could route the Horseshoe Trail up this section.

      Great single-track switchback trail to get to upper part of trail system. Also a blast to hit heading back to pumping Station road parking lot. Lots of rocks and roots make it a solid intermediate imo!
