Glen Run Trail First Ride

I just got my first ride in on the new trails in the Glen Run Nature Preserve. It's located basically between Delaware Water Gap and Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania across 611 from Glen Park in Stroudsburg. The preserve has existed since 2015, so this is some pretty fresh stuff. The particular path I took was about 3.6 miles with a total elevation gain of 734 feet. The first mile from the trailhead on Route 191 is mostly climbing.





The trail is mostly singletrack, with a smattering of jeep roads. There's nothing too technical here, beside an occasional log rollover, and some sections of the singletrack are swoopy and fun. Note that as of this post, trail signage is not yet in place. Perhaps the map above will help.

Back to the North, you can see East Stroudsburg University over my shoulder 

It's really great to see the trail scene growing around the Poconos. I think we're in for a renaissance of dirt riding perhaps.
