Almost everyone I've talked to gives six mile run a bad rap and I couldn't understand why. Now I figured it out. I always park and ride from the entrace off of 27, but most other park at the lots on canal rd or blackwell mills road.
Today I rode from the lot on canal road and I can see why people don't like it. The trails from that point are lame and annoyingly muddy.
If you want to have a good ride at six mile run park in the far back corner of the gravel lot next to the jersey knights soccer fields. If coming from the North on 27, its .5 miles passed the wawa and will be on your right. If coming from the south its about a quarter or half mile passed courtelyous lane and will be on your left. In the far back corner you'll see the usual d and r canal state park signs.
You'll see the trail go into the woods about 20 feet down from the corner of the lot. Take it and follow it just a little ways until it goes onto a small graveled trail and take the gravel trail (left). Then follow the gravel for about 20 yards and you will see a log pile on your right, take the trail immediately on your left. It starts a pretty cool singletrack loop. This trail goes parallel to the fire road and goes through a couple clearings, always head more right at the clearings and take the trail that you see start on your left. this will eventually get you to the road. enjoy
