WMS Map: Mountain Bike Trail from Janis Road to Tassell Hill
About Mountain Bike Trail from Janis Road to Tassell Hill ....
While many people hike up to Tassell Hill via Hardscrable Road from the north, another option is to hike from Upper White Road / Janis Street via the Mountain Bike Trail. This is a nice hike, with gradual ascents, though the bike trail has a lot of switch backs but it beats trying to climb over all the downed trees over the very rutted old woods road.
Helpful Hint: While I suggest you look on blog for a downloadable PDF Map, you should be able to print or save this map by clicking the print button on the map above.

Warm water species such as bass and sunfish are known to inhabit this pond. There is a gravel hand launch located in the southwest corner of Chittning Pond.
