### **Overview**

**Mile Markers 126-135**

 

Five days of dry weather last week brought improving conditions all around, with only some ice patches south of White Haven.  There are no more impassable sections.

 

- Traveling North From White Haven: 
    - White Haven North Trail Entrance to Middleburg Road - Generally firm packed with some patches of soft/mud.  Easy to ride around.  Ride Level:  **EASY** to **MEDIUM**
    - Middleburg Rd to Beaver Lodge near Penn Lake Park (MM 135) - Improving conditions with less mud.  Firmer packed.  Ride Level:  **MEDIUM**
- Traveling South From White Haven: 
    - White Haven South Entrance to Lock beyond I-80 bridge construction - Firm packed.  Ride Level:  **EASY**
    - Lock to Tannery Trail Head - Some patches of mud and soft/watery gravel.  Conditions deteriorate slightly as you travel Southward. Ride Level:  **MEDIUM**
    - Tannery to MM126- Some patches of ice just south of MM 128.  They are easy to navigate around.  Do not ride on ice.  Ride Level: **MEDIUM**

### **Weather Impact**

- **Forecasted Weather:** Rain on the 16th and 17th and throughout the week will keep some of the muddy patches...muddy. Next weekend appears to be clear but still a bit cold. 

### **Obstacles & Hazards**

- **Downed Trees:** North of White Haven has overhanging trees from heavy snow, however all parts of the trail are passible
- **Erosion or Washouts:** None
- **Debris:** Some fallen branches that are easily ridden around
- **Wildlife Sightings:** Beaver activity around MM 135

### **Traffic & Trail Use**

- **Crowd Levels:** Light.  More walkers than riders
- **Notable Events:** I-80 bridge construction still ongoing, but only parking is affected

### **Amenities & Services**

- **Restrooms & Water Stations:** Bathroom south of White Haven open.  Water stations are still turned off for the Winter
- **Parking Availability:** 
    - White Haven Trail Entrance North - Open
    - White Haven Main St Parking - Open
    - White Haven South Entrance Parking - **Closed**
    - Lehigh Gorge Entrance Parking - Open
- **Bike Repair Stations:** Trail repair stations open

### **Trail User Notes & Recommendations**

- Suggested bike types:  Thicker tired bikes will have an easier time of it, but any trail bike will work on the non-hazardous sections
- Best sections to ride in current conditions are from the White Haven North trailhead North, and from the White Haven South trailhead south to the Lock entrance.

### **Final Thoughts & Next Update**

- Estimated next report update:  Weekend of 22-23 March
- Spring is definitely showing sign of emerging.  If you can handle the mud going south, there are several spring thaw waterfalls coming down through the hemlocks and Mt Laurels.
