Highly recommend this beautiful and well kept trail. Beautiful to ride along the trees and over the 2 epic ohiopyle bridges.
Rode on a cool spring day. Very smooth paved trail with rollercoaster like hills. Very fun enjoyable ride. 22 mi around the lake and back. Will definitely be back when visiting from VA.
04/04/2026.Great Savage Tunnel on the Great Allegheny Passage is open. Motion sensor lights to illuminate the tunnel. If you have bike lights, maybe use them inside the tunnel so other users can see your presence easier.
We parked at the end of Astral road, though not a designated trailhead, there is a small parking lot for fisherman. This is approx 4.3 miles South of Franklin. A good bit of snow and ice still on the trail. Big ice chunks floating down the Allegheny (River). Sandy Creek jammed up with ice at the Belmar Bridge.
February 2026 hike. A good 6" of snow on the ground. Shenango River frozen due to multiple weeks of below freezing temperatures.
Beautiful sunny but cold Winter Day to get out and enjoy the trail. A good 8" of snow covering the trail. We parked in the small lot out on Trout Island Road and walked to the end and back.
February, 2026 we parked at the Belmar Bridge and went on a short walk. The parking lot at Belmar was somewhat plowed but luckily we had 4-WD otherwise I feel we would have been beached. Trail has very deep at least a foot of snow on it. Good conditions for snowshoeing. Surprisingly the Allegheny River was not frozen even though temps hadn't been above freezing for nearly 3 weeks. A nice walk out on the bridge.
Over a foot of snow fell during 2 days at the end of January. Snowshoed on the bike trail and off the trail on the hiking trails. Knee deep snow made it great for snowshoeing. Lake Wilhelm was frozen and there were ice fisherman out on the ice.
Tunnel is closed. I ventured over the top and it's tough
