I just wanted to add, that out of the trails I have been riding, this was by far the most used, and popular trail.
There were people walking, jogging, biking, walking their dogs, I felt really safe riding this trail.

Today I rode the Greater Hazleton Rails to Trails, what a great scenic trail.

The first mile is hard packed with tiny rocks on the surface, making for a fast trail, after the road crossing it turns to a crushed red limestone surface, some of the rock is larger and definitely more bumpy, but not bad, then I ran into the Hazleton water shed, what a nice view, it was there that I met SCOOTER a very cute Jack Russell who has overcome a lot of adversity in her short life.
The trail turns back into the aforementioned hard pack for the remainder of the trail, where I almost ran over a snake sunning on the trail
It deadheads onto Beryllium road, a decaying old paved road, I rode that to the left for a few miles, then headed back.
All in all a 10.58 mile ride

Check out my videos on U-Tube (search Dirtrider 6) of the Rails to trails that I have been riding, I hope to hit up as many trails as I can before Winter.

My whole family been walking on this trail daily,and my wife daughter ride our bikes on it as well. My daughter goes on the back of my bike,some parts of the trail are smooth and others are bumpy,but your outdoors you expect it. Its also nice because you don't have to walk of ride in the streets of Hazleton,its quiet and everyone on it is friendly.

"I really liked this trail for its shade and its sublte grading. The thing I disliked the most was that it was very bumpy. I know mtn biker's would like this, but I was on a leisurely ride with my 14 month old and he was bounced around quite a bit. Would I use the trail again? Yes I would, but not with my child riding along."

"This is a very nice, shady trail. My only complaint would be that the stones used on the trail are a little larger than on other trails and it throws your bike around."
