Description:
The Kiski River Trail, built on the former M-Line Railroad bed, begins in downtown Apollo and follows the scenic Kiskiminetas River (called "Kiski" locally) for a half-mile. The nearly level trail is surfaced with fine crushed limestone and stops just short of the popular Roaring Run Recreation Area. An on-road connection can be made to the 5-mile Roaring Run Trail by continuing south another 200 yards on Kiski Avenue, then three-tenths of a mile on Canal Road to the trailhead.

Parking & Trail Access:
Metered parking is available at the North Plaza Shopping Center in downtown Apollo, at the intersection of First Street (Route 56 East) and Warren Ave (Route 66 North).

A large parking lot is also available at the end of Canal Road in the Roaring Run Recreation Area, however, note that you would need to travel on roads a short distance to get to the Kiski River Trail from this lot.

I can finally ride my bike more safely from Apollo to the Roaring Runn Trail!
By erinalex in January, 2012
After many years of hard work, the Roaring Run Watershed Association (RRWA) has completed the trail link from downtown Apollo to near the Roaring Run Trail! The Borough of Apollo partnered with the RRWA to make this trail a reality. Although you still have a short ride along Kiski Avenue, then onto Canal Road, this route is way safer than riding 0.5 miles along narrow Kiski Avenue from town. The trail offers nice views of the Kiskiminetas River and provides a nice place for the residents of Apollo to get a little fresh air and exercise. As a resident of Apollo I am thrilled with this project's completion and am so looking forward to using the trail, hopefully on a daily basis! Thanks RRWA and Apollo Borough!
