October 9, 2026: Though this trail is nearly 30 miles in length, about half of the miles are rideable and the Southern half is one bump after another. It's like a washboard. We've been biking this trail 12+ years and the last 6 years or so we've noticed a steady increase in roots uplifting the asphalt pavement to the point we ask ourselves "why are we doing this" during the ride. Bump after bump and now with fallen leaves on the trail, it's difficult to see the bumps. We parked at the Rockland tunnel North portal and biked to South Kent. We enjoy the few miles of smooth pavement through the St. George area. The tunnels are a "neat" attraction but you have to take the bumps as a trade-off. This is a trail which goes through some isolated areas, and there seems to be some vandalism to the signs along the trail. With this being one of the closest trails to us, we seem to only ride the Southern end once, maybe twice a year. And with the price of gas at practically $5 a gallon, it's still worth it to travel distances for better trail conditions elsewhere. Getting back to this trail is 30 miles in length, the first 12 miles or so traveling South out of Franklin, are in much better riding condition.
My wife and I decided to ride from the south up the Allegheny Trail. We wanted to experience the tunnel. As we rode to the tunnel we experienced some very rough tree root damaged trail sections. Some of them so tall that if you were going a t a high rate of speed, you possibly could be thrown off your bike. My hope is that this could be fixed because we love the scenery and riding along the Allegheny River was beautiful.
This was a nice 27.5 mile ride along the Allegheny River. The section that reverses N Kent road through the small subdivision of homes makes it interesting. Unchanging terrain becomes boring after a while. We enjoyed the historical markers which provide a better understanding of the area. It is a shame vandals live amongst us and are driven to destroy things like Indian God Rock. The northern section is very nice. The section south of the Woodland tunnel is a bit bumpy, but still better than other trails out there. The southern section could stand a little trimming of bushes etc. Toilets at both ends were atrocious.
Love using this trail when I wan to ride from Youngstown to Warren. So peaceful, quiet and safe to use.
One of the most cleanest and excellent trails that I've rode so far since riding bike again.
September, 2026. Nice end of the Summer bike ride. Parked at Oakfield, biked to Orwell for lunch, then a little North and back plus to Bristolville. Most of the trail well shaded and beyond that farmlands. Open areas of the trail very windy. There are some drainage / speed bumps between Oakfield and Bristol heading South.
September, 2026. End of the month bike ride on a nice sunny day. Trail is just a few miles long but a nice place to ride instead of roads. Sharpsville end is well shaded and the Northern end is more open. Some of the pavement is starting to become bumpy.
September, 2026. We ride this trail a few times a year, try to hit it every season. End of Summer ride. On a hot sunny day this trail provides plenty of shade. Paved trail encircles Lake Wilhelm within the park on rolling Pennsylvania terrain. Lots of wildlife and bird watching at this State Park. One short section of the bike trail is along the causeway within the park. The causeway goes through the park and not much traffic. Maurice K. Goddard State Park offers boating, fishing, and picnic areas.
Nice trail. Mostly shaded. A little narrow for bikes but not bad. Smooth and well maintained. You have to cut through Quail Hollow to get to the other part of the trail.
September, 2026. We subjected ourselves to our annual ride on this bumpy section of the trail. Parked in Emlenton and made it 7 miles to just North of the Rockland tunnel. It's gotten worse since last year. More roots have pushed up the asphalt pavement. Bump after bump after bump then smooth for a very short distance, then more bumps. And it repeats itself over and over. Doesn't appear the grass along side of the trail had been mowed in a while, had to be a foot tall. Rockland Tunnel is lengthy, you need a light. The doors at the South entrance were installed a few years ago since the tunnel leaks and it would freeze in there and long dangerous icicles would form. Even in the Summer there's a trickling of water. This summer was very rainy so there's gonna be a leaky ceiling in there! On the plus side, the trail offers beautiful scenery, and views of the Allegheny River and plenty of shade.
Very nice trail, only downside is to complete the loop you have to ride from the parking area to the Marina on a roadway.
