Very nice trail for my wife on her disability scooter and me on my e bike.
Dropped in at Gibson station and tried to ride towards Cumberland gap. It was a no go very quickly because the trail is no longer maintained by the national park.........Budget cuts! We were riding on overgrown grasses/weeds which is no fun at all! Turned around and rode towards Wilderness Road State Park. Lovely ride in the shade with just a few spots that were wet from the heavy rains from the last few days. August 14 was hot and humid with some mosquitoes along the trail! Did a few loops in Wilderness Rd., State Park where they were having some actual reenactments back in the fort! All in all lovely country views. The buffalo were in the corner right next to the trail...sat at the picnic table and watched them chew! There was a new calf! eat all get
This is a great trail for working off your winter fluff - it is challenging in areas with hills which for those of us who spent the winter either shoveling snow or hibernating (me) came as a surprise! The trail itself is paved with asphalt or concrete slabs. The asphalt areas have tree roots humps and bumps accompanied with a couple heaves. The poured concrete slabs were in decent shape. The trail goes alongside Melton Lake - pretty early spring views from the bluff. Many people were out enjoying the warm temps and the crew teams were out on the water. I
Got to see the buffalo (plus). Nice shady ride Parked at visitor center and rode both ways and back. Rode 14 miles total.
We road this trail with some friends today. Ages ranged from 47-71. It was a nice, cool, refreshing bike ride. Nice and straight with no hills. Favorite part was the old fort and the history we learned while there. One thing is that the map on this app is wrong as to where it begins and ends. We actually parked at the visitor center to the fort and road the trail because where the map shows it was not correct.
This is one of the best trails we have ever went on. It is a beautiful, flat, easy, shaded trail. SO much history. Stop at the park and check out the fort, they have people in there dressed up and making things. Very neat to see! There are picnic tables along the trail if you want to pack a lunch. There is also a buffalo viewing area. I can’t say enough good things about this trail. My group loved it!
If you are in the area then load up the bikes and ride it. Pretty much flat trail that is for the most part shaded. Park at either end and ride out and back. Don’t forget to stop and see the visitor center and the homestead recreation and especially the buffalo
I biked the entire trail today; both ways. One has to know a little bit about the history of the area to really appreciate this trail, but even if you are not a history buff, the scenery and farmland is well worth the ride. My only complaint is that there is no history of the old railroad itself to be found anywhere along the trail. There really needs to be a plaque/marker at each end of the trail telling they history of the old railroad grade. I saw
Really enjoyed this easy pastoral ride down shady tree covered trail. Parked at wilderness trail state park visitor center with welcoming staff, clean restrooms, and picnic tables in shade to relax after. Big bonus was seeing bisons and their 4 week old baby. Highly recommend.
This is my go to bike path. I start at Haw Ridge and ride to Elza Gate - 6miles one way. Great round trip ride! Very pretty scenery and some challenging hills.
Trail surface is mostly ground gravel of cinder consistency . Larger gravel on the trail is near the visitor center and some of the road crossings . The section west of the Gibson Station parking lot is no longer maintained. I used my road bike with no issues except for slippage in a couple loose cinder , sandy areas. Overall this is a lovely trail with little traffic. Saw 10 or so hikers and no bikers, on a Saturday. I have been riding this trail for many years. There is lots of new activities to do in the park by the visitor center and new walking trails open . You could easily spend a day with the kids here .
