Shoreline Trail is a short but steep mountain biking route in Mauch Chunk Lake Park, Pennsylvania, about 0.36 miles long and rated expert. It is an out-and-back with a total climb of 793 feet and a high point of 1,405 feet. The trail starts at a low point of 1,018 feet, and the steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.13 miles in, with a grade of 31%. The most comfortable riding weather tends to come in late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lehighton show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 73°F. That station sits roughly 950 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler.
