Biking and Trail Biking

Some children ride bicycles on a paved trail surrounded by trees at Locust Lake State Park

Bicycling continues to ride on a crest of popularity that makes it one of America's premiere family recreational activities. But as more and more people take to riding bikes, safe areas to ride and enjoy bikes become scarcer. That's not the case in Pennsylvania state parks. Through the past several years, the Pennsylvania Bureau of State Parks has actively developed safe bike trails in state parks. The bike trails found in state parks feature a variety of sizes, terrain and scenic views. An added bonus is that you can take advantage of the many resources, facilities and activities found within each park.

   Locust Lake State Park  

PA Act 72 requires bicyclists under the age of 12 to wear an ANSI, SNELL, ASTM, or CPSC approved helmet when riding a bicycle. Helmets must be worn level and snug on top of the head with the chin strap securely fastened.

For more information on safe bike trails, there are over 800 miles of bike trails in the Rails-to-Trails program.
