I started out at Coopers Seafood Waterfront Restaurant to the right is a concrete paved pathway, that leads to a riverfront, a nice fishing area, and a sight of the bridges and mountains in the distance.
The actual trail is to the left, it is made up of pea sized crushed gravel, surprisingly if I stayed on the upper part it was well packed, but only about a foot wide, if you drifted off that, the surface sucked all your speed away.
Just before the 1 mile marker, there is a plaque and a picture dedicated to the Knox mine disaster. Just a little further down on the right is a cleared out grove with 3 grave markers, man I'm allways finding a cemetery on the trail!
The end came much to soon, the trail at this time is only 2 miles long (short), I tried going beyond the trail, but it was a muddy mess, I turned around went back to the starting point, and tried to take that further, I made it about a mile before that to became to hard to ride, it was all those track ballast stones.
Hopefully they will make this trail longer, for now it's to short for anything except maybe a ride with the kids.

I am maintaining a wesite that will reflect and promote the progress of the Pittston leg which is shaping up real fine-

"I have been to the area many times but still do not know where this trail is. Can anyone tell me? I know about a paved section a few blocks long at Cooper's Seafood Restaurant, but it is usually covered with mud. I've searched along River Street in Plains near the Waterfront Complex, but could find nothing there. Am I looking in the wrong places?"
