With the fall riding season underway, events like Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day scheduled, and hunters/hikers also parking at Tower Road, parking there is at a premium. Please keep the following in mind:
1.) Do NOT park along Tower and Fink roads - Nockamixon Township has posted these as "No Parking" areas as it makes it difficult for farm equipment and emergency vehicles to pass.
2.) Please consider parking at Haycock boat launch with over 200 paved parking spaces and only a quick pedal across the bridge to the Mountainview Drive (Route 563) trailhead. (Do not park on the shoulder of the road at the trailhead itself as this area is typically used by fishermen.)
One positive of parking at Haycock is that it offers quicker access to the Quakertown and Allentown/Bethelehem areas.
Another plus is that the end of your ride can be nothing but the fun of descending Upper Hammer!
