The Nockamixon Mountain Bike Trail System is CLOSED until further notice due to excessive numbers of fallen/leaning trees as well as hanging branches.  Nockamixon trail builders hiked portions of the system today and verified that the trails are currently impassable. 

Please avoid riding at Nockamixon until an 'all-clear' is posted here.  Updates will be posted here as work commences this weekend and progresses for the forseeable future to clear the system loop-by-loop.

Thank you for you cooperation and patience.  

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Inaugural Noxtoberfest Poker Ride.  The morning started out with a little light rain then stopped and the rain held off for the rest of the event.  There were 33 riders that came out in all and between the riders, t-shirt sales, and donations we were able to raise $1,000 for the trails.  Special thanks to all of the volunteers that were at the stations, without you we would not have been able to pull this event off.

An additional berm and associated drainage improvements were installed on the central portion of Upper Hammer loop yesterday.  No trailwork will take place next weekend due to the Noxtoberfest poker ride.

Just a reminder - the Noxtoberfest! poker ride is set for Sunday 10-28-2012 8:00 A.M. at the Haycock Boat Launch off Route 563 (Mountainview Drive).  See you there!

An additional berm and associated drainage improvements were added today on the central portion of the Upper Hammer loop.  Work will continue next week generally uphill in a southeasterly directon on Upper Hammer.

Thanks to all the kids and their parents who turned out to enjoy dry trails, beautiful scenery, and cool/comfortable weather on Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day 2012 today.  Morning showers and ominously rainy forecasts gave way to an enjoyable afternoon where kids got to finetune their riding skills on one of the best trail systems in Pennsylvania.  Looking forward to TAKMBD 2013 - be there!

Work was undertaken today to significantly improve the entry/exit on the Lower Hammer crick crossing nearest the Route 563 (Mountain View Dr.) bridge.  Work next week will likely shift back to drainage improvements on the South Park loop approaching Gnome Home from the northwest.
