Description:
This is one of Pennsylvania's, cross-state trails, crossing the state line into New York near Erie, Pennsylvania. The 7.5-mile trail follows the old Penn Central rail corridor and runs through the beautiful Brokenstraw Valley. Included in Corry's rich railroad history is the invention and manufacturing of the Climax locomotive and rail cars that were used by the logging industry from 1888 until the 1920's. The trail is hilly and rough, offering an adventure for outdoor enthusiasts year-round. Several crossings do not meet the grade of the road or have inclines where the cyclist may need to dismount. Transportation Enhancement funds have been approved to make vast improvements to the trail surface, drainage, and amenities such as trail heads and signage. The trail is open for use on the unimproved sections while construction is pending. The Corry Junction Trail is part of an initiative called the Erie-Pittsburgh Trail Alliance, working to connect the open trails between Pittsburgh, Pa and Lake Erie.

The trail is open for use on the unimproved rail bed while construction is pending. The Corry Junction Trail is one of several trail systems that will soon make up the Erie-to-Pittsburgh Trail.
