Mountain Biking Black Rock

This trail will run north as a mixture of wide and narrow singletrack. You'll pass
through the Black Rock Bird Sanctuary and up to the boat launch at Rt 113.
Take 113 over the river to the Upper Schulykill Valley Park. Drop back down to
the river on River Rd. At the far left end of the parking lot you can re-enter the
trail. 1/8 or so of a mile later you can go left for climbs and singletrack or
straight for a flat side gravel/ dirt trail back to Lock 60 in Mt Claire where you
can cross back over the river to Phoenixville.

Rider questions

Q: where can i park to enter this trai
A: On the North Side of the river there's a petting zoo across from the boat launch. There's parking at the bottom of the hill. Take the trail East for about 200 yards where the trail will start on the left. There are 2 ravines to ride where it will dump you out to Lock 60 in Monte Clare. Ride out to Rt. 29, cross the bridge and dump back in the other side of the river for an easy trek all the way back down the river. Come to the end and cross the bridge once again on Rt. 113 back to the petting zoo and the parking lot.
