mikeR1100R Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 We're going to be staying in White Haven, PA for a week. Does anyone have any favorite rides in that area? We would prefer to keep the mileage between 150 and 200 for a nice leisurely day's ride. One route we like the sound of is a 190 mile loop going to World's End State Park that we got from Sunday Morning Rides. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hyner View State Park. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/findapark/hynerview/index.htm From Lock Haven go north on 664 to 44. Turn left on Hyner Mountain Rd and then left again on Hyner View Rd. Very nice up there. Pat Link to comment
ltljohn Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I will try to put together some of my favorites in the area. A word of caution, try to stay away from the eastern side of the Pocono area (Mt Pocono) traffic is very congested on the weekends unless you get by early.If you want to get off your bikes for a day there is a 24(?) mile bike trail that follows the old railroad bed down through the Lehigh Gorge it is a hard packed gravel road at a constant 1% down hill grade all the way to Jim Thorpe PA. I believe you can break it in half by stopping at Rockport SP. You rent a bike at the top and they bus you back to the top. The Lehigh Gorge is a beautiful place this time of year. Link to comment
