Description:
North of Mansfield lies the Railroad Grade Trail, know to locals as Ives Run. The 2.5-mile trail begins on the north end at the Ives Run Recreation area, near the boat launch parking lot. Travelers on the sometimes rough crushed stone surface are rewarded for their efforts in this seemingly secluded marsh area. The careful observer can view a variety of songbirds, waterfowl and game birds as you travel through the Bryant Hollow Wildlife Management Area. The trail ends near Pennsylvania Route 287.

Level Trail
By panama in August, 2010
One might describe this train as easy due to being level and only 2.5 miles long. However, the stones make it a very rough ride. If your bike is equipped with shock absorber handlebars and seat, it might be enjoyable.
