Summary:
I went here with a friend of mine for the first time and was really impressed! All of the trails we went on were well maintained single track and there is a variety of fast rolling trails and tight winding trails, all of which make up a series of interconnecting loops. Just from what I've ridden, with an exception to the Skills park, the park will be perfect for someone that is just beginning. But don't let that dissuade you from going here. Unlike Wissahickon park, in Philly, The smooth single track lets you pick up some serious speed which will test you in a different way. Taken at even a modest speed, you can get a bit of air off the many many speed bumps throughout. Like I said, I've only gone there once, but i already highly recommend it to anyone into mountain biking (minus your hardcore DH junkies).

Recommended Route:
type whiteclay creek state park into google and one of the first links is a nice map. We took some of the suggestions below and started off at the parking area to the west (left) of Paper Mill And Smith Mill roads. We went around the Bryans field (Blue and white) trail to the skills park, which is the little black loop below where it says "Possum Hill" on the map. We went off the trail and made our way back to the trail at the Whitley Farms (gold and white) trail, went clockwise all the way back to where we parked. We did another loop at the Bryans Field loop. Both Whitley and Bryans are a mixture of tight winding and Fast rolling trails that are either in the woods or out in the open.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
??? I ride at Wissahickon park, Belmont, and High rocks for the most part. Those are in PA west and north of philadelphia.

Summary:
LOST CAMERA on Saturday 8/12/06! Sony Digital with full-size monitor. Many sentimental pix of my family that hadn't been downloaded (as well of course of video of our gang riding the skills trail!) REWARD for return -- if nothing else, the memory card! Contact me at momchelle@verizon.net. THANK YOU!

Okay, now for the trail summary... My new favorite ride! Beautifully maintained single track, well-marked, with lots of roller-coaster sections and obstacles. A friend of ours who is new to MTB rode it and survived by going around all the obstacles, and the more advanced of us rode all the ramps and bridges and fun stuff and loved it! (So..something for everyone!)

Recommended Route:
We park at Middle Run and make our way over to White Clay via Lenape Trail. This first section will be a great ride to take my 9-year old on, since there's no real climbing involved.

Don't miss the Skills Trail -- great fun! The challenges are very rideable...the hardest thing about them (for me) was getting up the nerve to do them!

Other recommended trails in the same area:
We ride French Creek (PA) and Gloucester Community College (NJ), Ceres Park (Mantua, NJ), and Valley Green (Wissahickon, PA).

Summary:
It's not challenging at all, but it can be a fun ride when you want to go super fast or just take it easy and cruise. There is a decent climb or two, and the skills trail is really fun.

Recommended Route:
Start at Brian's Field, cross over to the Whitely Farms trail and go clockwise for some fast downhill. Cross the road after 1/2 the loop and go counterclockwise on the David English trail. Again, after 1/2 the loop hit the road through the break in the fence, do downhill, and make the climb up the Cart Road trail. At the top, ride up the road a bit and you'll see the entrance to Boundary Line trail on the right. It's a really fun downhill after all that climbing. Finish the DE and WF loops and go back to Brians Field. Go clockwise so you can hit the skills trail on the way back. From BF, you can also cross Paper Mill Road to get to Middle Run. Look at the map at the trailhead so this all makes more sense.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Middle Run, Fair Hill (MD)

Summary:
This place is awesome! I have ridden all the best places (Whistler, Moab, Sun Valley Idaho, Tsali NC, etc.) and this place is a ton of fun. It is fast and rolling and lots of jumps so you can get nice air. I ride a Cannondale Gemini. The skills trail is lots of fun also. You can do a 2-1/2 hour ride and that is with minimal stops riding at a fast pace. Cost $5 to ride here but well worth it as they built and maintain many wood bridges and the trails are in perfect condition.

Recommended Route:
Park off Nine Foot Rd. and start left on Whitley Farms trail. Take that to Bryans Field trail and cross Smith Mill Rd to connect to Middle Run trails and do this sweet loop. Cross back and finish Bryans Field loop. Actually it is awesome to do the skills trail and at the end turn right back up hill to top and go down the way you came. Best downhill at the place.

Summary:
This trail is called the 9 Foot Road/Bryans Field trail. It is about a 4-5 mile trail, depending on the loop you do. There is also a skill trail they just made. Very fun fast ride.
