Wetlands Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Harrison Hills Park in Pennsylvania, set at about 1,150 feet with a low point of around 1,030 feet. The trail runs 1.4 miles out and back, with a total climb of about 440 feet, making it an out-and-back with a gentle grade that suits a quick ride. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically September and May. A nearby weather station records typical average highs of about 78°F in September and 74°F in May, and temperatures on the trail run cooler than those figures because the station sits several hundred feet lower. Scouts Trail is just 0.1 mile away and Creekside Trail about half a mile off, so it's easy to pair a ride with a walk. Woodlands Trail, another mountain biking route, is about 0.4 mile away. Climbers can head to Harrison Hills Park, about a mile out.
