Ghost Town Trail

Beautiful Ride

September, 2023 by jackybob

We started at west end of trail at Saylor Park in Blacklick. The parking area beside the baseball field was much to our liking (clean, paved, open and well used). We felt comfortable leaving our camping equipment in the back of the truck. According to the garmin (and our legs), the trail climbed approximately 40 feet per mile up the Heshbon, about 6 1/2 miles from our starting point. From Heshbon to where route 56 crosses over the trail, our turn around point, the trail eased to around 20 feet per mile of climb. Although taxing on the way up, the 10 mile trek back down the hill was well worth the effort expended on the outward half of the ride.

Trail attributes:
The surface consisted mainly of hard packed dirt with fine gravel making for fairly fast and stable riding conditions.
More shade than sun which probably saved us as the conditions were sunny with temperatures in the 90s.
Plenty of views of Blacklick Creek.
Only one road crossing.

Baseline:
Our home trails are Pine Creek and Buffalo Valley.
Our favorite trail is the Northwest Lancaster.

Wolf Run Trail

Wolf Creek is beautiful

August, 2023 by daynasperling1

E bike with pedal assist/no throttle. I had to shift into low gear to get exercise. The trail and Wolf Creek were very beautiful. The trail is mostly shaded in the summer

Beaver Meadow Trail

Not great for bikes

August, 2023 by daynasperling1

Nice short, scenic paved trail right in town. Way more walkers than bikes and when you ring your bell and give a shot “passing on your left” the majority of them are startled, and don’t know what to do. It’s not a good place for bikes in my opinion.

David S. Ammerman Trail (formerly Clearfield to Grampian Trail)

E bike

August, 2023 by daynasperling1

My E bike is pedal assist / no throttle. Needed to see what the bike could do, and what I could do. Started in Grampian, and rode to the outskirts of Clearfield. Quite the downhill into Curwensville. Went about 10 miles and turned around. The last 5 miles was a major uphill climb that I never could’ve done on my regular bike. The E bike and I made it up with no problem. The trail was very diversified and beautiful and I got lots of exercise. Great ride. P.S. I’m 70 years young in case it matters.

Lower Trail

Awesome

July, 2023 by dcsnyder

Great trail. One of the best in Pennsylvania. Very remote. Nice and shady. Easy grade as it mainly river grade. Paved in sections. And in Williamsburg if you park there you can finish at an excellent ice cream shop.

Ghost Town Trail

ghost town trail from ebensburg to dill town!

July, 2023 by alleghenyaccessibility

From ebensburg to Nanty glo it is a smooth down hill descent that is incredible. Once passed Nanty glo it sort of loses its grade and becomes flat or slightly up hill at intervals but at a slow descent, if that makes sense. From Nanty glo to dill town it tested us but was a very nice ride! FYI we are not everyday riders. Just started riding with the kids this year and is our 6th trail. Brings lots of water! I hope one day we can go to the end in blacklick.

Ghost Town Trail

Nice trail

July, 2023 by carebare552

Started at Saylor Path uphill to Dillsburg. Steady uphill, saw deer, belted kingfishers, an eagle along with frittery butterflies!

Mahoning Shadow Trail

Awesome ride

June, 2023 by mjlopez344

This trail is well maintained and an enjoyable ride, a bit cool even when the temps are in the 70's, a lot of shade. Volunteers were out trimming hanging limbs and clearing debris from the trail. They also gave us instructions to navigate the streets in Punxsutawney, could have been a real problem without these directions. Made the 15 mile trip out and on our way back stopped at Luigi's Pizza for awesome pizza. Jenn, the owner/manager was very friendly and made our time at lunch enjoyable. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the Eagles nest as it was blown down in a recent wind storm. Definitely a trail to ride again.

Lower Trail

perfection!

June, 2023 by dr.j.shuman

Took our horse and carriage for a family outing and loved this fabulous trail. Flat, wide, with room for all users, and beautiful scenery…You can’t go wrong. Equestrian users, please follow the rules and leave a good impression on others so we will remain welcome…This trail is a GEM!

Hoodlebug Trail

Good Ride

June, 2023 by martin.mary70

Nice maintained trail but it is some sort of interesting paved surface. It is a bit bumpy in a few sections but overall nice trail. You do ride next to the highway and through several small towns. If you are looking for nature trail this is not it. We started in Blairsville and rode entire trail. Mostly downhill on the way back which was nice. Would ride again.
