Packer's Point Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route on State Game Land 141 in Pennsylvania, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. The trail is an out-and-back that starts and ends at the same point, with a total round-trip distance of about 0.68 miles and a total elevation gain of 781 feet. The climb is steep at the start, with a 27% grade at about 0.09 miles in, and the high point reaches 967 feet. The most comfortable months for a ride are typically late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lehighton show September highs around 73°F with lows near 53°F, and July highs around 82°F. That station sits about 500 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Gorgeous Rocks, a climbing area, and the Overlook Trail, another mountain biking route, both lie about 0.2 miles away. The Glen Onoko Trail and Lehigh Gorge State Park are each about 0.3 miles off.
