This is a nice and short little section of the Pittsburgh to Erie Trail System. Great for evening walks
I love this trail! It’s local and once you get 3 miles in there’s almost no traffic!
Great trail no matter the season. June 2025 a warm and sunny day. This trail offered 85% shade! Just a few short areas that isn't fully shaded. Trail follows Oil Creek, asphalt paved trail surface in very good condition except for a few bumps. We parked in Petroleum Centre and biked North to Titusville and back. Had lunch in Titusville took some side streets to a restaurant. There's several eateries in Titusville as well as trail services...dollar store, convenience store. We frequent this one in the summer due to the shade!
The trail is very poorly marked! The area around Behrend campus and also Lampe Campground near the channel are very nice. The rest is simply urban riding. But it’s better than nothing if you live in the Erie area.
The first few miles of the trail, as you enter the park, have been plowed and salted. It's down to the asphalt for miles but a few icy snowy spots here and there. The bay side of the lake is frozen over with ice fisherman out there. On the other side, facing Canada, there are ice dunes and the ice is frozen for as far as you can see from the shoreline. A beautiful state park to visit all 4-seasons.
I have hiked several sections of the trail. Parts are still ungroomed while others are packed stone. The Orchard Park strip has parking at the old train station and is packed stone for biking or hiking. Beyond Jewitt Holmwood the trail is the old rail bed and is a bit rough in spots but still a beautiful and easy hike.
Searched for hours not a real trail don't try find passed off at pa
A mild and sunny day provided a great opportunity to ride the trail and take in the colors of fall! Temps near 70 with brilliant blue skies. The bike path has been recently repaved and is as smooth as silk. The main road within the park has also been repaved. Both, much needed. Thank you State of PA! Beautiful fall colors. The entire park, including the trail, has about 10 feet of elevation. So that makes for very flat, and easy riding.
Be warned: The trail, in spots, is entirely unmaintained aside from some lawn mowing. It's as if you are riding through a grass field. In other areas, the trail is entirely dirt and if it were wet / rained recently would be entirely unusible. If you are on a road bike or bike with more road focused tires, you may have difficulties.
We had gravel bikes or mountain bikes so the trails surface was not an issue and we did the entire trail from the south starting point up and back, with no issue and averaged around 10mph during our ride with minimal effort. We even extended about a 1/3 a mile beyond the end until we ran out of bikeable path.
The trail is a shared use trail and great for walkers/runners/horses.
We only saw a handful of people on a Saturday when we were out.
Ellicottville Brewing has a location along the trail in Happy Valley which is 6 miles from either end, right in the middle of the trail.
A great stop for some food or beverages if you want to break up your ride.
8/24/24 Arrived at trail head to discover the beginning is not well marked. Beginning of the trail is grass, crossed a field and then some ruts appeared. The trail is mowed and clear to the sides. Quickly arriving at a hard road it was an uphill of ruts and rocks. The trail ended at a hard road with no indication of the trail continuation. Speaking to a local we found traveling .9 mile to a stop sign and a right down a slope put us back on the trail, better described as a mountain bike trail. A farmer closed the trail section we traveled by highway. This could be a great trail with much attention to development.
I tried this trail out of Brocton and besides the poor marking of the trail (it is not continuous and requires some traversing on pavement to find the next entrance) it is just not well maintained for cyclists. This is an amazing hiking trail but just not great for gravel bikes or rigid bikes with wide tires. I would come back and do this on a hardtail. Honestly with how much you have to trudge through chunky gravel and grass an E bike would be the best choice. If you’re looking for a fun gravel ride up to Chautauqua, just ride the roads they’re much more enjoyable.
