Scouts Trail is a short, flat mountain biking route in Harrison Hills Park in Pennsylvania, set within a small loop that starts and ends at nearly the same elevation. It is an easy ride of about 0.24 miles, with no climb at all, so it works as a quick warm-up or a brief stop before exploring more of the park. The most comfortable months for a ride are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 74°F and September highs around 78°F, with September seeing the fewest wet days of the year. Wetlands Trail is about 0.4 miles away and Woodlands Trail about 0.8 miles away, so they pair well with this route. Hikers can also reach Spicebush Trail and Creekside Trail, both about 0.9 miles off.
