Experience the perfect introduction to Endless Gravel PA on this 115-mile bikepacking loop connecting Towanda, Sayre, Troy, Canton, Armenia Mountain, and the quiet gravel roads of Bradford County.
The Endless 115 is the shortest of the three signature Endless Gravel bikepacking routes starting in Towanda and offers an ideal introduction to the Endless Mountains. Following the northern half of the Endless 250—which itself forms the western half of the Endless 430—this 115-mile loop delivers many of the region's finest gravel roads, historic communities, and scenic landscapes in a ride that can comfortably be completed over 2-3 days.
Beginning in Towanda, the route heads northwest into the Valley, visiting the historic northern Pennsylvania towns of Sayre and Troy before climbing onto the forests and sweeping gravel roads of Armenia Mountain. Highlights of this section include the panoramic views from Lambs Lookout(slight detour required) and a stop at Greener Pastures, a family-run farm, distillery, and event venue. Bikepackers are welcome to camp there by advance arrangement, making it an ideal first-night stop for riders looking to extend the route into a relaxed three-day adventure. Back in Canton, riders will find a welcoming local cycling community along with lodging, restaurants, and other businesses, making it one of the small town highlights of the route.
Leaving Canton, the route returns east along Southside Road before steeply climbing Leroy Mountain Road to Sunfish Pond County Park on Barclay Mountain, a peaceful campground with tent camping, fishing, and walking trails around the lake. For riders following a three-day itinerary, Sunfish Pond makes an ideal second night's camp before the final day back to Towanda. From there, the route crosses quiet gravel roads near historic timber communities like Laquin to descend into the beautiful valley of Schrader Creek, one of the most scenic stretches of the entire route with large boulders and swimming holes offering a chance to cool off on a summer ride, before returning to Towanda from the south.
Despite its shorter distance, the Endless 115 captures everything that defines the Endless Gravel experience: historic towns, welcoming communities, mountain forests, quiet gravel roads, and flexible camping and lodging options. It also serves as the shortest route offered during the annual September Grand Depart, an impeccable choice for riders looking to experience the event atmosphere or enjoy their first multi-day bikepacking adventure in the Endless Mountains.
