Dennison Run Trail

Dennison Run Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Clear Creek State Forest in Pennsylvania, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about 0.26 miles, with a high point of 1,423 feet and a low of 1,409 feet. The climb is flat, and the total elevation gain and loss are each about 24 feet, so the ride stays nearly level from start to finish. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Franklin, PA, show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. That station sits roughly 400 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a little cooler. Kennerdell Trail is about 0.3 miles away, and Ridge Trail is about 0.9 miles off. River Trail and Blunder Trail are each about 1.2 miles from the route.
