Prompton State Park

Prompton State Park offers twenty-three miles of classic single-track. It's located just off of State Route 170 in bewteen Waymart and Honesdale. There is also a 280 acre lake in the 2000 acre park. It is easy to navigate with large, wooden signs that indicate the trails.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operate the park. You can check out the park's website here: Friends of Prompton


The first time I went, I took the red loop that starts to the left of the dam and weaved in and out of the other branching trails. The view from the dam is really impressive, as well as from the top of the hiker trail. 


Sidewinder is my favorite trail, of all of them. The red loop is relatively moderate in elevation and a great workout. Some tricky rock sections, but the overall level of difficulty is relatively intermediate. I am disappointed that I probably wont get to ride these trails for a while. Prompton is ultra-classic and is definitely on to put on the tick list if you haven't already ventured out to it's trails.

Here's some trails.
