Jay Walk is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in Nockamixon State Park in Pennsylvania, managed by State Park and Recreation. The climb is only about 24 feet, and the route is roughly 1.9 miles long, so it's a quick ride rather than a long one. The trail starts near 430 feet and reaches a high point of 448 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 0.16 miles in, where the grade reaches 5%. The most comfortable months for riding are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Bucksville show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 76°F, while July averages about 85°F. South Park is just 0.1 mile away, and Eastern Woods and Haycock Run are both within a mile. The Big Area climbing area is about 2 miles off.
