“A relatively easy and incredibly scenic waterfall loop trail. ”

— Capt. Insane-O
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Features: Commonly Bikepacked [Add/Remove]
Family Friendly: In addition to rxhing, lots of families walk this loop and kids slide and play in the falls in the summer.
Dogs: Leashed

Description [Suggest Changes]

This is a beautiful and scenic trail that is usually ridden counter-clockwise, taking riders up and along the east side of Roaring Run before descending on the west side right along the waterfalls!

There are great quality wooden bridges along the way and the Roaring Run Spur (264A) is definitely worth riding / accessing from the summit of this loop. In the summer, lots of families walk this loop too, so be caring and careful when riding. If you're in the area don't miss this loop!
