Lone Pine Trail

Lone Pine Trail is a mountain biking route in Pennsylvania, about a mile from the town of Shingletown. It is a short, out-and-back ride of roughly 1.7 miles, with a moderate climb of about 170 feet one way and a total gain of about 277 feet for the round trip. The trail starts at an elevation of about 1,724 feet and reaches a high point of about 1,850 feet, and the steepest stretch comes early on, with a grade of about 10 percent at about 0.11 miles. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in State College, which sits about 680 feet lower, show July highs around 81°F and lows near 63°F. That station's figures are not adjusted for the higher elevation of the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The trail sits among a cluster of hiking routes. The Blue-White Trail is about 0.1 mile away, the Mountain Mist Trail about 0.3 mile, and the Mid-State Trail and Lower Trail both about 0.4 mile. For climbing, the Eversince Area is about 3.6 miles away.
