Tee Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Rothrock State Forest in central Pennsylvania, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is an out-and-back that starts and ends at nearly the same elevation, with a total climb of about 150 feet over a little under a mile. The high point is about 1,749 feet, and the steepest stretch comes roughly a quarter of the way in, with a grade of about 13 percent. The most comfortable months for a ride are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in State College show June highs around 77°F and September highs around 72°F, with July the warmest at about 81°F. That station sits roughly 580 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a bit cooler. Rockhouse Trail is just 0.2 miles away, and Doc Detour Trail and Mongo Trail are each about 0.6 miles off. Climbers can head to the Eversince Area, about 1.5 miles away.
