8. Hartleton, PA to Waterville, PA

HARTLETON, PA TO WATERVILLE, PA – 91 miles

Welcome to the northern end of the MABDR and the southern edge of the Northeast Region. This area is home of legendary fall scenery that lures people from across the globe. An autumn trip yields groves of changing trees with almost surreal colors competing for attention with iconic covered bridges and fire-engine-red barns.

Advanced riders will be glad to know there are two optional harder sections on this leg. Though short, they feature slender two-track through woods, punctuated with deep ruts and big rocks, which can be very challenging when wet or muddy.

You’ll ride by several state parks, some of which have campgrounds. Near the end, the route passes through historic Woolrich, home of the famous Woolrich company. You’ll reach the end of the section in Waterville with a country store and reliable gas pumps.
