We received a report of a branch down on Trail A. There might be more fallen trees or branches obstructing the other trails. Be aware a chainsaw crew on Saturday.

Thank you Bob Lyon for the report on the trails and clearing some of the debris.

I was contacted by Gary Guare (Scout Ranger) about issues with Mountain bikers riding through the camp areas. Please stay out of the main camp areas. The main camp areas would be defined as the areas around the pool and pavilion, or any road that has tent platforms on it. Safe areas are south of Sharp Valley, the only trails north of Sharp that we are allowed to be on is North Valley and Lost Valley accessed from North Valley. If Scouts continue to to have issues with bikers riding through groups of scouts or bikers not stopping when asked by scouts, this is the message I was asked to convey to everyone “Please get the word out to your riders that have permits or this could end for all mountain biking of any type to the outside public”.
If you are riding and see scouts, turn around and go the other way.
I have attached a map showing the approved trails to ride during the summer camping season (July-August). Please review and pass on to anyone that may not be on my e-mail list.

Back in May SAMBA hosted an IMBA Trail Care visit that was broken up into three parts. First was a site visit and meeting with Gifford Pinchot State Park, second was a Club Care presentation by IMBA, and lastly was a meeting with QBP (Quality Bicycle Parts). All of this was in an effort to move SAMBA up to the next level and increase our position in Harrisburg. That next level is SAMBA transitioning from and IMBA Affiliated Club to an IMBA Chapter.  Please click Read more button below for more info.
