Stony Valley Railroad Grade

Ellendale Road near Dauphin to Goldmine Road

*

Review:

     The length of this trail is approximately 22 miles from the trail head at Ellendale road to Goldmine road. We gave this trail a Family Friendly Rating of 3 because of the trail surface. This is the worst keep trail we have biked on.

     This trail we would say is ok for riders in moderate to good physical shape. 

     There are no bathrooms or Porta Potties along the trail.

*

Trail Surface(s):

     Hard packed crushed stone, ballast, dirt, mud

*

Scenery:

     The scenery for this trail is mostly wooded. It goes through the mountain and has a stream flowing past it part of the way. This is a good nature ride.
