White Clay Mountain Bike Trail Conditions

White Clay Creek and Middle Run give Delaware its singletrack — tight, twisting, rooty trails through Piedmont hardwood on the Pennsylvania line. Clay soil holds water and the trails are closed when soft, but the network is dense, close to Newark, and rides fast when the ground firms up.
