Susquehanna River Walk & Timber Trail

Susquehanna River walk and Timber Trail PA--A great afternoon excursion

August, 2025 by escdvm

We were looking for an afternoon on the bikes and found this great trail. The Parking lots are very well marked and plenty of spaces to leave the car. Entire trail is well groomed asphalt. Very small amount of plastic bags/bottles but otherwise very clean. Beautiful ride along the Susquehanna river! Yes it was along the highway also, but the river was a great distraction. some Canada geese, a Coramont but no ducks. Bridge crossings were a little challenging but short uphills and very well marked to get back to the trail. Only complaint was that there were no {marked} restrooms along the route. We took advice from another reviewer and did a small loop at the South end of the trail in a residential park of South Williamsport. Beautiful park with a very clean restroom facility. After completing the route, we doubled back from the south parking lot and took the Market street bridge back to the north parking lot to complete the ride. Really enjoyed this.

Bellefonte Central Rail Trail

advertised length is deceiving

August, 2025 by cgpohlig

This was a good trail, but the length shown is only including the improved part of the trail. I found the trail on this app and was biking to it from the north at Montauk Circle. This put us at the unimproved end first, which was ok, but had larger stone and skinny trails. We faired ok, but I think road bikes would have difficulty. It clocked almost 5 miles total from end to end. It was a little disheartening to get to the end and see it’s quite literally up hill both ways from there on the McKee/Clinton bike path. Still we love an adventure and the trial was fun, and if you hit Tofttrees just right the beer cart will be there for a water or Gatorade!

Capital Area Greenbelt

Kinda rough for a paved trail; will return

August, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It was kinda rough for a paved trail. The pavement was bumpy in many places. Most of the trail is impressively wide. Be prepared for many on-street sections and crossings, some of which are busy. Wildwood park has restrooms and water. I enjoyed the ride and will be back someday.

Cumberland Valley Rail Trail

My wife and I rode from Newville to Shippensburg today. It was @ a 10 mile ride to the Shippensburg Trailhead. We continued for 2 more blocks on Earl St to King St. On the corner of Earl & King is the King St Diner, good and good prices.

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

cool ride

July, 2025 by alewisa333

We have ridden this trail a few times & forgot to leave a review. It is amazing, nice curves/ paved well , goes along river, good signage. Won’t be disappointed. We had e-bikes & cruised along.

Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail

Beautiful Trail - Challenging for a Chubby Grandma!

July, 2025 by l.greybill1963

My first time on this trail I rode from 8th Street to Mount Gretna Spur. I am sure experienced in-shape cyclists would find the 4 percent grade (which extends several miles either direction) easy, but I had to put my Schwinn in 1st gear. I need to lose weight, so refuse to get an e-bike! Next time I'll start in Lawn and go to Mt. Gretna and back to complete the trail. Will work on strengthening legs in meantime! A note regarding the Conewago Trail: ballast used on the surface nearly caused me to wreck a few times. Large rocks and ruts - not crushed gravel. Too much time spent watching the trail to avoid falling - it's a shame because the scenery is beautiful. "Gravel Grinders" would love it!

Cumberland Valley Rail Trail

Great trail

July, 2025 by janecmoody

Well-maintained and shady. It was very pleasant, even on a warm summer day! This is definitely worth doing.

Pine Creek Rail Trail

Jersey Shore

July, 2025 by cpesotine

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.

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

Fantastic Biking Trail

July, 2025 by joshua.d.waterman

This trail is paved end to end and is incredibly scenic! The trail goes through several small towns along the way and features great views of the river. It is our favorite rail trail in the county. Get out there and experience all this trail has to offer for yourself!

Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail

Well-done

July, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

There are some climbs at points, but that makes for some fun downhills. Trail is smooth and easy to follow.

Stony Valley Rail-Trail

Nice improvement

June, 2025 by forchek11

Beautiful surroundings, completely shaded. Stones are a little large but nicely compacted. Nice improvement over just maybe two years ago. Saw some wildlife and not many other riders on a Saturday afternoon

Pine Creek Rail Trail

Beautiful Trail

June, 2025 by zap26

This is a beautiful trail. The upper half is much more scenic than the second half. This was my second time doing the entire trail. I got a shuttle to Wellsboro from Pine Creek Outfitters and biked back to the trail head in Jersey Shore. I didn't stop as much as I thought I would and do some of the hikes. It was brutally hot today. I am glad I did this trail again, not in the rain (which happened last time). Don't think I need to redo it again; I would rather check out some other trails in PA first.
