Eagleton Mine Camp Trail
2 reviews
 4 of 5

The trail is pretty new. Much of it is single track. Some of it is no track, meaning it hasn't been ridden enough yet to wear in a track in many places. Part of it runs over an old, old railroad bed that still has the remains of the railroad ties in place, making the ride rougher than a cob in this section. Rocks and blowdowns can be nasty. Many steep uphills and downhills, one of which terminates in a dry wash after about a three foot drop off the trail. This drop will break bikes and bones if you are not ready for it. Parts of this trail are very technical, very tough. Parts of it are good fun for anyone whose skills are above that of a rank beginner. Don't overlook riding the power line. It's lots of fun and not as extreme as parts of the Eagleton Mine Camp Trail.

Summary:
Nice Ride, Grueling at times. "newer trail" Trails are very well marked but a map my be helpfull. Offers a wide varity of technical riding even found some big rocks a little off the trail to play on.

Recommended Route:
If you want to keep it simple ride the power lines. You can get a good look at the surrunding mountains. If you want to enjoy this trail head off into the woods.

Reviewed by: hardrock scott , from pa

Summary:
This trail offers flat, steep, wide, narrow, soothing, spooky riding, depending on your route. Obtain one of the Pennsylvania DCNR maps of the trail. It has rough topographical markings to give you a basic idea of where the rough stuff is. Parts of this trail are gouged out of a side hill steep enough to cause you to bang your uphill pedal into the hill on every pedal rotation. Your other option is to ride far enough on the outside edge of the trail to risk going over the edge with the slightest of bobbles. This trail will improve with age, if it gets used enough. Trail maintenance may become an issue, as there are several blowdowns across the trail already that are not rideable.

Recommended Route:
I forgot to mention in the trail writeup that the trail head is another 1/4 mile on out the Eagleton road after you park. The trail head is marked as little buckhorn trail. Look for the red rectangle blazes.
