From Northeast Sports head down Main Street (North) until you see Chapel Street. Turn left onto Chapel Street and make your first left onto Commercial Street. Follow Commercial Street past Saint John’s Church. Follow the Blue path for a short jaunt on 191 then take a left onto Erie Street and soon you will hit Bucks Cove Road. Once you have moved out of the bustling small town of Honesdale and onto Bucks Cove Road it’s time to enjoy the beauty of the Wayne County countryside. Bucks Cove is a typical dirt, country road that meanders through middle Wayne County. Once you get deep into the ride you can understand why some many people have become “hooked” on living in this area of the state.  

As you look to the left you can get a good view of the Lackawaxen River at several points along the ride. If you need a recreational side track – follow the White Mills Road to the ball park. There is plenty of space to lie out and have a lunch or head down to put your feet in the river.

When you come to the end of Bucks Cove road Make a right and head up into Cherry Ridge. If you were looking for an easy beginner or casual, laid back ride make a big U-turn and head back down Bucks Cove. For those that like to be challenged keep going your climb lays before you. After enduring the ups and downs of the Cherry Ridge hills you may be tempted to ask yourself why – but the rewards will soon be laid out before you. Once well established on the hilltops of Cherry ridge a beautiful and spectacular vista of continuous rolling farmlands, fields, and the occasional cow will be waiting to embrace your senses.

One of the great destinations along the way to look out for down Wangum Falls are a really nice set of waterfalls. Further down the road you will swing by Rickard’s Cider Mill. This is a fully operational apple cider press. During the crisp days of late September or early October be certain to stop by and pick up a little for the trip home. Autumn here is really spectacular.

This ride consists of both paved and dirt portions so make sure you are up for the treat. The ride is packed with rolling hills and some mid-level climbs (Wayne county is anything BUT flat).

The ride will soon offer yet another decision, at the intersection of the blue and yellow tracks you have the option extend the duration of your adventure and enjoy more of the Wayne County scenery. Remaining on the Blue Track will take you past Tick Toc’s restaurant. Tick Toc’s is a local landmark that features great food and fine spirits. Be sure to stop in fill up your stomach because the end of your ride is just at the bottom of a long decent (about a mile) back into town and your parked car.

If you choose to take the extended version and enjoy some great scenery follow the Yellow Track and turn onto the Red. This track will take you down a long decent in to the sleepy little village of Seelyville. Lying before you is another quaint waterfall that was part of the power system of a long abandoned textile mill. Follow the track and hang a quick right and you will be heading back into town after a few very short miles.

Remember if you have any questions call or stop in and ask any of the gang at the store. We would be more than happy to help you out with anything we can.
