First time riding the whole trail. Definitely recommended!
Biked the whole thing both ways and got a nice workout
Nice, quiet and flat ride along the canal. First time riding this portion. Unfortunately, saw trash in the canal including soccer balls, basketballs, diapers, red stool with a yellow seat, plastic bags, styrofoam containers and other debris. It wasn't a lot of trash but just enough to sully the view of the canal. Could have been blown in by storms but some of it looked like it was placed there by humans. Positive side: peaceful with cool-looking large turtles and ducks :) There are probably volunteers that work very hard to take care of this part of the trail. If I could have somehow fished out the trash, I would have done so to help them out!
The levee is a beautiful scenic trail from Wyoming to Kirby park. I have been riding by bike for 30 plus years on the trail. The grass is always cut and the trail is well maintained, however the voids in the pavement have been getting worse. A contractor performed a lick and a promise on the cracks last year. The workmanship was well below industry standard's. Every time I ride over the cracks my teeth chatter. Please look into this concern.
The family rode this trail yesterday. Entered from the route 54 side and biked to the end of the second reservoir (mile marker 6) before turning around. Some hills but not too much, otherwise relatively flat. If not doing the entire trail, or with younger kids, I would perhaps enter from the other end of the trail. There is over a mile of recent pipeline digging which needs to grow back. Views at the 2nd reservoir are fantastic.
Rode this trail today, it was a great trail for young kids, not too muddy. Great scenery and mostly all shaded.We will be back!
Loved this trail it’s a great ride. Just the right amount of Challenge to make it fun. Not to many hills not to difficult it was a really fun ride. Can’t wait to ride it again.
Nice walking trail, but for biking it a little to short work hard riding up and coast down.
just a word of caution to riders on road bikes, there is a section of trail between Seyfert Drive and PA 724 (near I 176) or mile markers 56 and 57 that is very rough. While only about a half of a mile, it was rough riding on 26"x2" tires, due to logging that was done in the woods beside the trail.
I really enjoyed the nice wide paths. It would be nice if the trail circled back. But I didn’t mind the almost 10 mile way back on the same trail. I would recommend this ride!
