Lake Redman

The Lake Redman loop offers a moderate touring cycling experience, covering 8.6 miles (13.8 km) with 683 feet (208 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking about 1 hour and 15 minutes. You'll pedal through beautiful wooded areas, enjoying scenic views of Lake Redman and the surrounding landscape. Expect a diverse ride with sections of singletrack, crushed stone, and some rocky, root-filled paths that add a technical edge, especially on the more challenging offshoots.

When planning your ride, be aware that the trails can get muddy after rain, sometimes leading to closures for cyclists to protect the path. It's best to check conditions before you go, and accessing the loop from Jacobus provides convenient starting points. This route is ideal for those seeking a dynamic ride with natural beauty, but be prepared for varied terrain.

Part of the larger William H. Kain County Park, this area is a popular destination in York County, known for its extensive multi-use trail system totaling over 12 miles. The trails are well-maintained by the York Area Mountain Bike Association (YAMBA), ensuring a good ride. You can even connect this loop with the Lake Williams loop for a longer, more challenging ride, potentially extending your adventure to about 16 miles.
