Summary:
I'm no off road aficionado but I think these trails are great. I live in Newtown and have been looking for some off road trails that I don't need to pack the bike in the car to get to and these are the only ones around that I have found. These are great for a short after work or weekend ride when I only have a hour or 2. I would not call these "a ride in the park". There are some technical sections that require some finese. They are fairly well maintained although some of the less used trails get overgrown. My rating of 4 is partly based on proximity to me.

Recommended Route:
Since I ride from my house, I jump onto the trail directly off Woodbourne Road just south of the resevoir. It is pretty much just one big loop with some cross over trails and some off shoots. There are no trail markers. I'd like to find a map if one exists.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Penny Pack park in North Philly has a great trail system. I hear there are some decent trails over by Neshaminy High School but have not tried them. Same with Mercer County Park in NJ.
