The BicyclePa Route J (http://www.bicycleaccess-...) passes through Shamokin Dam.
Narrow and/or unpaved shoulders along most side streets make biking around town off the highway challenging. Route 11 from Shamokin Dam to Northumberland is lovely with a view of the river. There is, however, heavy truck traffic along this route.
