671 Rail Road St. Recreational Parking is a great place to park and Start your ride from the south end of Pine Creek Trail. GPS took down slow in town not as nice. I found this one about 2 mile in.
This trail goes through state game lands, is mostly shady and parallels an active railway. The active railway portion has some deep mudholes. It would be wise to start at Ridgeway as it is uphill to Brockway.
A shady path for a heat intensive day!
Nice trail, a tree down across the trail about 4 miles up from parking lot when I'm writing this.
Day 2 of our ride to complete all 16.5 miles (and back). We parked at Flowing Spring Road/Trailhead and biked to Williamsburg and back. Another great day on the trail. This trail is crushed limestone with the exception of the Williamsburg area, which is asphalt paved. We enjoyed the historic Grannis Station, mile 13 on the trail.
Having traveled over 3 hours, we split this trail up over 2 days and made an overnighter out of it. So much history along this trail, old foundations, and locks & canals, with many interesting sights. We also stopped at Mt. Etna old furnace, near the trail. Day 1 cycled from mile 0 in Alfarata to Williamsburg, mile 11. Trail surface is crushed stone except the Williamsburg section is paved. We stayed in nearby Altoona which offers several hotels and many restaurants.
While in the area, we stopped at this trail. We only pedaled up the first one mile due to it was later in the afternoon and we had already ridden 12 miles earlier. Parking on Igou Road just outside of Bellwood. Trail surface was crushed limestone which eventually turned to game lands access road, we didn't go out that far. The entire trail is 6.2 miles. Elevation at mile 00 Igou Road is 1,240 and mile 6.2 it's 2,180. Good workout uphill climb but nice downhill coast on the way back. There is a parking lot at the top. It's on Skyline Drive, and it's in State Game Lands 158.
This trail has been upgraded around tofftrees…
Riding this trail in the fall when the leaf colors are at their best and early spring before the leaves come out are the best time to ride this trail. You get a great view of the hills and valleys as opposed to riding in green “tunnels”. That being said it’s a great trail to ride year round.
Took our electric bikes on this path and it did not disappoint!! Path is well maintained and the scenery is just terrific. Highly recommend.
My wife and I love riding this trail whenever we can. Easy to get to, trail heads are very well done, restrooms (comfort stations) are spaced out quite well, beautiful scenery, trail in excellent condition.
On this most recent trip, a buddy and I wanted to get into bikepacking and I suggeste this trail to "cut our teeth". Had it planned all out, but at the last minute he had to back out. I decided I still wanted to do it so rode from Jersey Shore up to Hoffman Campground (which is stellar!), tent camped for the night, and came back the next day.
Wonderful experience all around...you will love this trail!
First the cons: A roughie. A lot of undeveloped trail here. Need a mountain bike. No skinny tires here. Don`t travel alone on this the way I did. Lots of "close ones."
The pluses: Tremendous potential here. Beautiful area. A hats off to the individuals who are pioneering and working on this. HEROS in my book. No doubt at all. Get the money. Contact township, county officials, feds. Set up meetings with them. Get a good grant writer Get the $$.
