What to expect on Enlow Tunnel – Montour Trail loop from Trout Run Conservation Area
This loop offers a delightful journey through varied landscapes, primarily following the Montour Trail, a classic rail-trail. You'll glide through serene river bottom forests and wooded valleys, enjoying sections of crushed limestone and pavement. The highlight is undoubtedly the historic Enlow Tunnel, a 575 to 600-foot long passage that's fun to traverse, often providing a cooling effect and an intense breeze. While the trail is generally flat, expect gentle inclines rather than steep climbs, making it suitable for all skill levels. The Enlow Tunnel itself can be wet with dripping water, and quite cold, so be prepared for that unique experience.
Planning your visit
The loop starts from the Trout Run Conservation Area, which offers stunningly beautiful woodlands and stands of eastern hemlock trees. The Montour Trail is well-maintained, but be aware that the Enlow Tunnel can be wet and cold, especially in cooler weather. The trail is accessible year-round, but the best time to cycle for comfortable temperatures and lush scenery is typically spring through fall. Parking is available at the conservation area, making it a convenient starting point for your ride.
