The Luzerne County Levee Trail is a mountain biking route in Pennsylvania, about 0.3 miles from the town of Forty Fort. It is an easy ride, with a total length of about 5 miles and a one-way elevation gain of just 10 feet. The trail is an out-and-back, and the route stays nearly flat, with the steepest stretch at about 0.1 mile in from the start, where the grade reaches about 2%. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Wilkes-Barre show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 75°F, with July the warmest month at about 85°F.
