Summary:
This route involves lots of short,steep climbs and nothing else.The technical skill level is beginner.CONTRARY TO THE OTHER REVIEW,SHAWNEE STATE PARK IS IN SCHELLSBURG,BEDFORD COUNTY,NOT BERLIN OR BOSWELL IN SOMERSET COUNTY.

Recommended Route:
Slowly ride the heavily trafficed Lake Shore trail to warm up.At the breast of the dam,locate the sewer plant and ride that trail to the top.Go left onto Pigeon Trail,then right onto Felton Trail and finally follow the Field Trail.

Other recommended trails in the same area:

Summary:
A friend who got me back into mtn. biking took me here, i gotthe workout of a lifetime. Not much technical stuff, just long and tiring. Trail is mostly grass, with long climbs and fast flat downhill sections. later on there is a rollercoaster section, and the last bit oh downhill back to the beach is quick, make sure you got good shocks or you'll bounce around so much you can't see straight. All in all it's a good judge of how in shape you are.

Recommended Route:
Go by the beach, begin the field trail, get the climbing over with
