Summary:
If you go up the road the goes through Pine Grove St Furnace at the top is a HUGE parking lot. From here you can take many trails down either side of the Mountain. There is also a road "Mountain Ridge Road" that will lead you out further to more trials. These trials are mostly the ATV trials. They are VERY rocky and some are almost impossible. Especially the ones labeled "Most Difficult". These are fun and there are some BITCHIN Downhills. But there are better trials hereIf you park at the furnace. and ride out to RT 233. Take a left. You can then ride up Old Shippensburg Road. This will lead you to the start of a trial that follows a logging road to "Michaux Rd" take a right and yell see the trial on your left after like 50 feet. Ride this. There are many diff ways to do it; it splits 2 or 3 times. Each has a nice DH in it someplace. Keep Going "RIGHT" to extend your ride.
Another great place to start is on 233. Drive past the entrance to the furnace. And about 2 miles or so up the road will be a dirt pull off on the right side. Its big you cant miss it. Start here and go into the woods. You will come to a bridge over a stream. Follow this RT keeping to the right. It will lead you to some very technical up hill. The up hill will end with a hard climb up some S turns. At the top of this go left. (This is also where the above trial will bring you. If you stay right)
After taking the left follow this single track to you hit a road "Woodrow Road" its a good climb up Woodrow Road till you get to a big right turning the road, you can head into the woods right there. (Ignore any signs you see) this Single Track is BADASS isnt ridden much cause its hidden. This will take you along the ridge for a long time. It will dump you in an opening. Take a left down the grassy road. This DH is FAST and it turns back into ST quickly. This will snake its way down the ridge and dump you on another grassy road. Take this till you hit a dirt road. (Woodrow Road again) take a left and go like 200 yards. Yull see a trial on your right. Take this and it will bring you back to the bridge on the stream. Its a great ride. Best in Michaux IMO.

Recommended Route:

Summary:
I rode in Michaux once and I think the trails are over rated. They suck. If I had my choice I would ride in Rattling Creek. The trails up there are awesome. Lychins has great singletrack.

Recommended Route:
The trails in Rattling Creek are much better.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Ride at Rettling Creek. It's much better.

Summary:
who: anyone with balls, health and commitment.
where: pick a trail and commit to it, you have no other choice. look for white markers at trailheads and intersections. easy doesnt mean easy-these trails are made for atvs not mtbs so easy to them is like intermediate to us. "more difficult" is gnarly. loose, tight, and unpredictable. these trails are mercilous and worth any travel made to get to them. bring lots of water and spare tubes you will need one or both.

Recommended Route:
BIG CORRECTION!!!! this is not in anyway Gettysburg! It is 20 miles south of CARLISLE which is like 40 MILES FROM GETTYSBURG. I-81 to Hanover street exit (2nd Exit if traveling south)-south on Rt 34 through Mt. Holly (little town) once in Pine Grove park turn left onto Bendersville Rd-climb to top of mountain, parking on left. big-assed lot.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
travel further up 233 past bendersville rd look for pull off to right (2-3 miles south of park) trails are up embankment and are easy compaired to the moutain.

Summary:
did this trail for the first time today and am thoroughly exhausted. awesome rock to rock descent on the grave ridge trail! that was the highlight. some burly loose rock downhill, maybe unhumanly possible to climb? took four hours, covered about 16 miles. one of the toughest trails i've ever ridden
