We actually started at the Coburn side of this trail. We parked at one of the PA Fish Commission parking lot areas and rode the township road to the Coburn tunnel. We crossed Penns Creek over a very narrow railroad bridge. We were unable to ride across because the guide rails were so tight it rubbed the end of our handle bars. The trail itself for being privately owned in this section was in pretty nice shape although not as nice as other trails I have been on. We rode on to the village of Engleby where the trail gets a little more narrow but it still is rideable. We rode on to the next bridge which is no longer in existance and we had to cross Penns Creek. We crossed on some rocks in the stream but I would recommend bringing sandals or some kind of footwear you don't mind getting wet. Some parts of the stream were mid calf high at this point. We then rode on to the beginning of the actual trail near Poe Paddy State Park. The Actual trail itself is very nice and well constructed. Watch your head if you ride through the tunnel on the other side. It was pretty close for me. We rode on to the Cherry Run parking lot where the trail ends. We did ride on out to the township road and further out to the town of Weikert. The township road follows the old railroad bed but this part of the privately owned section is not open to the public. Over all the main trail is very nice but if you want to extend the ride the rest of what I have described is very neat too. I actually enjoyed the stream crossing since it was 98 degrees out the day we went. Overall the grade is nice and it provides a great workout.

Fun little trail that parallels a creek. The best part of the trip is defiantly the tunnel. The trickiest part of this trail is getting to the trail head. I traveled from the west and most of the gravel roads are still snow covered.
