My wife and I enjoyed riding the Greene River trial last week. The wooded section from Millsboro to Rices Landing is the nicest ride.

"Very relaxing , nice view of the Mon. River."

A very scenic trail thru the heart of coal country! Beautiful

I have lived in the area all my life and must say they did a great job making this trail. The scenic Monongahela River is a bonus.

"I rode this trail today. It was better than I expected. I parked at Pumpkin Run Park in the borough of Rice's Landing. There were restrooms available here, and I was able to change into my bicycling gear.

I rode the entire length of trail, and was very impressed with the quality of this trail. Everything was in good order, the grass was mowed, there were nice interpretive nature signs showing the various trees. I saw beautiful rock formations and several waterfalls. The river provided a nice view, and at some spots all I could hear were the birds and the river flowing without any other man-made noises.

I saw some wildlife including a turkey. There was a coal formation along the bank of the river, that was neat to walk on because it takes you right to the rivers edge. There were also some industrial ruins that were neat to look at. There were drink machines in at least 2 spots along the trail, in case you get thirsty.

After I rode about half way, I saw the reason why this trail is in such good repair; there were prisoners from the county jail doing work on the trail including grass cutting and other work. They do a very good job! At one end of the trail there is a marina, and the trail curves off of the old rr grade. If you stay on the rail line, you go through a grassy area where there is a bridge. It is fenced off, so you cannot cross it, but it provides a nice view. Also, the grassy area has a nice picnic area with a grill, and a neat stone foundation.

At the other (Rice's Landing) end of the trail, which is 3.5 miles long, the trail ends, and there is a turn-around. This end is also fenced off and you cannot go any further along the rr grade. The only bad thing about this trail is that I wished it was longer.

For a longer ride, you can go into the park at Pumpkin Run. You go through a tunnel that runs under the trail, and into a valley, where you can continue your ride. Also, in Rices Landing, there is an Ice cream Shoppe, but it was closed today. Perhaps it is seasonal.

The folks in Greene County who are in charge of this trail should be proud of themselves. It is a really nice trail.

Keep up the great work!!!"

There is an old bank building along the trial in the town of Rice's Landing. It has been converted into an ice cream parlor. This is a neat historic building that makes a nice stop for refreshments.

"This trail is great; however, everyone would like to see the distance better marked. During my family's daily walk someone always stops to ask: How do we know how far we have gone? Otherwise the trail is great, and I cannot wait to see it expanded."
