Knox & Kane Rail Trail

Great Ride!

October, 2026 by vicki1960

This trail is a work in progress and coming along nicely. We've ridden different sections over the years. Surfaces vary. October, 2026 we started on the connecting Rail 66 Country Trail, mile marker 13 in Farmington Township, Leeper. Cycled to the Forest County line at mile marker 20 and seamlessly connected to the Knox & Kane Rail trail. We pedaled North to Marienville at mile marker 26. Still all on asphalt pavement. The pavement continued North of Marienville to mile marker 27.5. This is measuring the distance back to Shippenville. There the trail seemed to end and turn to dirt. New sign in Marienville at the restored train station and large gravel parking lot. Restrooms in Marienville but they were locked. Beautiful mural in Marienville. Signs of fall colors but too early in the month, should be beautiful as the month goes on!

Rail 66 Country Trail

Early fall ride, always a great ride on this trail!

October, 2026 by vicki1960

October, 2026. This is one of Pennsylvania's best trails! At just over 20 miles in length, runs from Marianne to the Forest County line and seamlessly connects with the Knox & Kane Rail Trail for more miles. Rail 66 Country Trail is approx 7 years old, paved and in very good condition. Well maintained by awesome volunteers. Several trailheads along the way. Mostly shaded and some open farmlands. Food near the Marianne trailhead on 322, and at mile markers 12-13 in Leeper. Sporadic portable job site restrooms along the way but nothing brick and mortar. We parked in Farmington at mile marker 13 and biked to the county line at mile marker 20 then picked up the Knox & Kane Rail Trail to Marienville. Some fall foliage already. During peak season, this trail offers beautiful colors of Fall since there are many species of trees along the trail.

Great New Trail Sections

September, 2026 by run2mom

We rode from the Kane trailhead to the Kinzua Bridge. The trail is gorgeous…running through wooded areas, a golf course with a fountain, farms and ending at the Kinzua Bridge. Kane has lovely restaurants (e.g. Table 105 and Pepe’s) and lodging at the Kane Manor Inn.

Rail 66 Country Trail

A Gem!

August, 2026 by bespo09

Rode this trail yesterday, 8/29/26. Second visit to this trail. Kudos to the folks that were involved in the trail creation, and to those who maintain it. Totally paved, a variety of scenery, plenty of port-a-potties and benches, and just a fun, flat trail. Finish your day with a cold brew at Inn the Wilds with pizza! Life is good.

Springville Pop Warner Rail Trail

Bumpy Ride

August, 2026 by luxstacey

We had high hopes for this trail and were disappointed. The parking area is a little sketchy and the trail itself is bumpy gravel. Some of it was just grass with big stones throughout. We actually turned around after about 3 miles because we thought we might blow a tire. Seems like it has potential but it is not maintained at all. The pictures are deceiving.

Kinzua Valley Trail

Horrible

August, 2026 by luxstacey

We tried all three trail heads. Tally Ho was washed out and impassable. Traveled up the road to the Red Bridge. Crossed the bridge and turned around and loaded our bikes back up. It was a single dirt lane with overgrown grass and wash out divets up and down the path. Didn’t even seem hikable let alone bikable. We ended at Westline. Road the trail for 3.2 miles and a large tree was across the trail and again, impassable. We turned around. The trail itself was “ok”. Some spots were pretty rough and we had to creep through to not be knocked off.

Aug 2026 Ride

August, 2026 by kjames196

We went on a pleasant, mostly cloudy day in August. Went from mile 58 to 46 and back. This section is a very nice, mostly rural/woods trail. The surface (crushed limestone) is generally good; the trail is sometimes as wide as a car lane, sometimes narrows down considerably (mostly due to the edges are not in as good shape as the middle). It does cross roads in spots, but most are not busy. I'd say 70% of it is in the shade, with some sections in the sun (but most sun sections are not long, so this would be a good trail for a hot day). Kane has a surprisingly large downtown, with quite a few restaurants (the Table 105 restaurant is quite good). The scenery is not spectacular (no dramatic waterfalls or cliffs) but beautiful woods with lots of large trees and pleasant fields. It was not very crowded when we went.

Karl Boyes Multi-Purpose National Recreation Trail

ok trail

August, 2026 by snlvr

We loved the trail for it being well maintained and for the asphalt however there are a few parts of the trail where the road must be shared with autos. It could use a little better signage for the mid point turn back/surrey direction intersection as well as where to go at the monument area.

July 2026 Ride

July, 2026 by vicki1960

Annual group ride! We go during the week to avoid large crowds. Paved and very flat trail has been newly repaved within the past few years. Always a great ride on this trail within the park. Plenty of other outdoor activities in the park as well.

Knox & Kane Rail Trail

Started at the end of 7 Mile road and went to Kane trail head this time. Last time went towards De Young. Both times the trail is nice and smooth, shaded most of the way, and very peaceful.

Tidioute Riverside RecTrek Trail

nice walking trail

June, 2026 by melgraves70

The trail is a nice walk and mostly in the shade. Great for walking but not for biking. There are a lot of tree roots. Great place to walk your dogs.
