The Ross Run Access was our turn around point after 22.9 miles of biking and we took a break before heading back to Jersey Shore. Here there are signs educating people about Didymo also known as rock snot which is an invasive algae that spreads easily and causes fish decline. It has recently been found in Pine Creek.
