Trail Maintenance at Silver Creek

Want to ride an awesome set of cross country trails without getting off your bike? Head to Silver Creek and make a quick warm-up lap around Thread the Needle, which makes a short and sweet loop on the far side of the Silver Creek parking lot. Then ride Black Run Road as it cuts across the slopes and out to Enchanted Forest. Link it to Point of No Return and finish it off with Headset Adjustment, a challenging and classic descent. Hang a couple of lefts and follow the road back up to Silver Creek.

These trails are now completely clear and flowing nicely thanks to Snowshoe biking maven Mikey Valach with assistance from rental guru Lou Rovegno. Two camp saws and some PB&J was all we needed to clear the dozens of fallen trees and grown in brush. But – like all trails – they could use some good “burning in.” So help us out and go ride ‘em!
