Kennerdell Trail

Kennerdell Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route on State Game Land 039 in Pennsylvania, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. The trail is mapped as an out-and-back with a total length of about 0.28 miles and a total elevation gain of about 20 feet, so it's a quick ride that starts and ends at nearly the same point, with the high point at about 1,475 feet. The climb is flat, and the route is so short that it works well as a warm-up or a break between longer rides. The trail was GPS mapped by Scharf Energy Systems. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. 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 460 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by. Dennison Run Trail is about 0.4 miles away, Ridge Trail about 1.2 miles, and Blunder Trail about 1.5 miles. For a hike, Sandy Creek Trail is about 7.4 miles away.
