We rode from Warren trailhead on the Southern end to North Bloomfield and back (about 28 miles round trip). It’s kind of a boring trail, mostly woods on each side with not many views. There are HORRENDOUS bumps on a stretch just north of Rt. 88. 17 huge “speed bumps” in a half mile stretch that are marked with red and yellow paint. Needs fixed badly. We will most likely not ride this section of the trail again. Will attempt the northern end from Orwell to see if it’s any better.
July, 2026 ride: Enjoy the shade on this trail during a hot summer day. Most of the 12ish mile loop is through wooded area of the park offering plenty of shade. Biking across the causeway is wide open and at the dam. Creek Road is mostly shaded. The paved path offers rolling Pennsylvania terrain, and a great workout. Some areas of the trail may be mossy. The trail also offers a marked and measured half-marathon course for practice. Mercer County Trails Association, Inc. holds their annual half-marathon every Spring on this trail. While in the park there are plenty of other activities including picnicking, fishing and boating. The year-old Marina offer bait, and boat rentals from kayaks to pontoon. Brand new restrooms in the marina building as well.
Nobody had mentioned on which end to start at, so we started in Lisbon and rode 10 miles and turned around a lot of incline this way then coming back, but both ways it was up and down. Very hot day didn’t help. Trail was shaded most parts but had lots of sun too, you have to ride on the road 1/2 mile but there’s no traffic it’s like a side street. Take water with u as no place at either end for that. Bathrooms are at each end and 1 in the middle if you need. There’s a trailhead 4 blocks from where we started with indoor plumbing if u prefer that. All in all a great workout today !
I read the reviews and it sounded perfect - mostly shaded and a beautiful loop around Lake Wilhelm. Lots of wildlife. The trail is in great condition and paved. There was a section covered in algae and a little slick. The trail is hilly - nice ups and downs - so you feel rewarded after working to get up the rolling hills and you’re equally thankful for the sections where there aren’t any hills. But for those coming from another state and used to rail trails this was challenging. I could have been slightly more prepared. I will ride this trail again. But just know it’s not a leisurely ride around the beautiful serene lake.
We parked at Colliers Station and traveled a few miles down to Weirton. Weirton is the low elevation on the trail. We biked to the Pennsylvania/West Virginia state line. There is a marker and picnic area. Continued uphill in PA and stopped in Burgettstown. The replica train station along the trail is a little restaurant with ice cream, cold drinks, sandwiches, etc. We biked up to Bulger PA which is the highest point on the trail. Trail is asphalt paved in very good condition. Most of the trail is not shaded and goes through open areas. There are occasional sections of the trail that are wooded and offer shade. Between Weirton and Bulger we passed a few well maintained parking lots. There are map signs at each trailhead. We plan on riding the rest of the trail another time.
The detached Foxburg to Parker section of the trail is approximately 2.5 miles in length. Asphalt paved and flat. This section of the trail is very well shaded. Some root damage to the pavement but not like upstream between Emlenton and Kennerdell. Enjoy some time in Foxburg, a few places to eat, an art gallery and winery. Also be sure to check out the progress of the Fox-Hunt Community Park in Foxburg which will offer parking, restrooms and a kayak launch. The 3-mile trail section between Foxburg and Emlenton is not complete and under development.
We parked in Franklin and traveled South for 12.5 miles to North Kent Road. Also known as Sunnyslope. Beautiful day on the trail. There is a detour 3 miles South of Franklin due to trail erosion along the Allegheny River. Stay to the grassy side of the trail.
The southern half of the trail is virtually unrideable. Tree roots have pushed up the asphalt making the ride jarring to the point of dangerous.
Trail managers: Please, please, please stop paving trails.
Discovered this comfortable place with great accommodations for two bike travelers. They offer a pullout sofa if you do not wish to share a bed. Indoor bike storage with a comfy bed and a hot shower! Distillery right next-door and two restaurants to fuel up in the morning to get back on the trail. Close to the panhandle of West Virginia. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven on Airbnb.

Impromptu exit off I-80 to explore Emlenton, PA & I found myself at the start/end point for the Allegheny River Trail! Very exciting indeed, as this trail has been on my “to bike” list. I am coming out of winter hibernation physically - yes I know it is closer to summer than winter Haahaa! I wasn’t holding myself to a long ride. My brain was all in, but my legs were not. Since I’m by myself, I had to do an out and back. 5.5 miles out and the trail is lovely however, as noted by another reviewer, the roots are coming up through the blacktop. Forcing one to really pay attention to the trails as to not pop a tire or jump a rail like a horse. Looking forward to doing some more on this trail! PS - a town employee gave me directions to their recreation bathrooms so I didn’t have to use a ports potty.
