Well maintained, Wellsboro to Jersey shore downhill. Stayed in Wellsboro and can’t wait for trailhead to connect to town. People friendly along the way. 63 mile trail well worth the drive from NJ. Pennsylvania does a great job with all their trails.
First time riding this. Very well maintained trail, people are friendly and know trail etiquette! Well done on maintaining this trail! The only downside, it’s 2 hrs from my house, but I will Explorer every inch of it on weekends!
Great trail. Everyone who uses a trail is automatically a trail maintenance volunteer. Lots of people pick up litter, fallen branches, etc. to keep trails clear and pleasant. A few leave wrappers, bottles, assorted trash and dog poop!- some right on the trail, some bagged but left on or near the trail. All these trails are maintained by volunteers, none of whose job is to clean up after thoughtless dog owners.
Did the whole 10 miles... great ride!! Love the change from stone gravel to pavement to rocky gravel, definitely was a good workout!!!
The trail is nice and beautiful but I ran over a rattle snake. It was scary
I am always looking for places to ride / hike so I checked this one out 5/10/20. It is a scenic trail along the river. It is a great trail for young ones because it is well maintained, no big ruts to navigate. I am excited to take my grandchildren here soon!¿¿
Unfortunately it was an unseasonably bitterly cold day (being that it was May 9th) that I explored this trail, but I was still able to enjoy all the nice farms that where a big part of my main ride from the Vicksburg Access location to its terminus in Lewisburg, and the other awesome scenery. The surface was almost all cinder and perfect for biking or running. It seems like a popular training trail for Bucknell University students as well as local folks. The trail is well marked with helpful green mile marker signs which were actually a half mile apart to keep you oriented on how far you’ve riden. The Vicksburg Trail entrance where I started had a great trail map, picnic tables ocourse parking.
We parked on the eastern end based on the description. The parking lot was not against the trail, had to find it. Then mostly was on street! We gave up after 5 miles of being in Hershey's residential home streets. Only signs were 'Bike Route' and had to use app just to stay on correct streets. Maybe the western end was more of a trail but we were very disappointed.
Not really a rail trail, but the trail parts were nice. View along the river is great, but several sections of on street and would prefer all trail.
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.
