Good ride with great views. A bit Disjointed yet a very appealing and fun ride through Pittsburgh.
A current dispute with the Yacht Club (as of July 2020) means that you will not be able to park at the trail head.
Amazing trail was worth the ride to get there
Rode this trail when doing kiski river trail. Very well maintained and nicely shaded. Good trail for beginners. Mostly flat with a slight grade. At end there is a turn around to head back.
Easy to find. Started in Apollo and headed toward Roaring run trail. Short time on road to get to trail, but road not very busy so we had no trouble with traffic .
I started at the southern-most part of the trail (48th St & Water St) and rode north. Despite the fact that the trail was paved, there were a lot of cracks and bumps in the pavement. After about 15 minutes I wished I brought my mountain bike rather than my road bike. Once I got through the downtown Wheeling area and north, the pavement smoothed out. I got as far north as Warwood and had to turn around because the weather was beginning to get bad. If you plan on riding this trail, be aware that it is rather bumpy for a road bike with no suspension.
Nicely shaded walk with a gradual grade. It's well-maintained and offers beautiful views of the river. Easy walk with the stroller and our huskies had plenty of trees to sniff!
Biked from Black Lick to Nanty Glo, then north, regained the trail, rode back west thru Rexis and completed the "lollipop" back to the start. 58 miles. Excellent trail, nice things to check out on the way, and the scenery for much of the trail feels like Colorado - spectacular !
I biked Freeport to Butler, round-trip. Very friendly people on the trail, and the trail is well-maintained. The first 14 miles toward Butler are fairly shady, scenic and verdant with wider, more "double-track" trails, the remaining 7 are less shady and a bit thinner trail bed (plenty wide though). Climbed approx 500 feet total over the first 14 miles, then descended approx 300 feet across the last 7 miles to Butler. Never really felt "like a climb" as (if I did the math) I doubt the elevation gain was ever more than 1-2%.
Nice trail. Gravel walkway without obstructions and not muddy. Easy with 2 little kids. Nice length with little ones. Plenty of places off trail to explore and wade in the water.
