Pipeline Trail is a mountain biking route in Clear Creek State Forest in Pennsylvania, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It is a short, out-and-back ride of about 1.9 miles, with a total elevation gain of 255 feet. The trail was GPS-mapped by Scharf Energy Systems. The most comfortable riding weather typically falls in late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Franklin put May highs around 71°F and September highs around 74°F, and the station sits several hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures up high run a bit cooler. Several other trails lie close by. Rock Oak Trail and Sripmine Trail are each about 0.2 miles away, and Blunder Trail is about 0.4 miles away. The Ridge Trail is roughly 0.6 miles away.
