Summary:
This trial made me fall back in love in mountain biking after years out of the sport. I went from not riding to waking up early to get a ride in here before work. I've sinced moved to Texas (mountain bike hell) and I miss this place every single day. White Clay Creek is so well-maintained and well-designed, the flow is just incredible. The soil is also just moist enough to allow you to carve and bob and weave to your heart's content. This summer I rode Sun Valley, Idaho, and other highly-touted Western spots and didn't think they were any more fun than White Clay. The only thing wrong with this place is that it's not in Texas, and I wish there were more of it (after a while you're doing the same loops over and over).
It's not inherently technical, but you can make it technical by doing all the manmade obstacles and going really fast.

Recommended Route:
My favorite section is the Northeast side of David English going clockwise. Whoop-dee-do heaven.

Summary:
This park is like that beautiful girl (or guy) you dated who turned out to be totally boring in bed. You may have gotten sweaty but at the end you'll have forgotten the whole episode. This place is the anti-french creek; smooth and narrow compared to rough and wide. As mentioned, this is a great place to bring a newbie. No need to pick a line here, theres only one option. The rollers can be fun but it gets old quick. If I had a single speed this would be a great place to bring it. The skills trail and all of its man-made obstacles are pretty cool though.

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).
