This trail is a beautifully wooded and a somewhat challenging trail. The solitude and cool air even in summertime along the creek make it a perfect warm weather trail!
Just the right length, with good signs and interesting sights along the way, complete with a swinging bridge and rope swing. Can’t ask for anything better!
Lov'd the trip out to the edge and the hike down to the bottom. Aist see if in the area
We were camping at red bridge, and going to see the Pennsylvania elk. We were looking for some thing else to do in the area and saw this trail, so we brought our bicycles. This trail is awesome. We rode from our campsite at red bridge to the trail head and went 10 miles to the new covered bridge. I had to put my bike computer on so I could see how far we went, because they have added more to the trail from what we originally thought. I see it will be extended past the covered bridge eventually but we stopped there. Very scenic along the river. My husband was impressed at the construction of the bridges. The two by fours were laid flat together, so there were no nails sticking up. Some old bike bridges have broken off nails sticking up and hence flat tires on the bike. Really enjoyed this trail, will do it again. Lunch at historic Westline inn along the way. Delicious. Really enjoyed this trail, will do it again.
Biked the Brockway end of the trail up to the Swinging Bridge. End of August, 2021. It was very hot out but most of the trail is very well shaded through the woods. Goes through State Game lands.
Trail follows Little Toby Creek. Quiet and peaceful ride.
I was on a hybrid bike and the trail is very flat. Trail surface is crushed stone which there wasn't a lot of, it was well packed dirt and easy to ride on.
Could also mountain bike on this trail or trail run!
I enjoyed my ride very much even though it took me two hours to get to, wished it were closer!
Started at Salamanca. 90% grass covered and wet. A lot of muddy patches, difficult to pedal. Only went 3 miles and turned around.
It is shaded.
Biked from Corry PA to Clymer NY. A rough ride on a Hybrid but the beauty made it worthwhile. Trail is 5.8 miles in length and goes through a lot of wooded area which is peaceful and serene. A few sections of the trail literally go through cornfields, those are the grass sections.
Most of the trail is nothing more than 2 paths through the woods. I think it would be a great Mountain Bike experience or to hike or trail run. In the winter would be good for snow shoeing.
The only portions of the trail that are paved are a few hundred feet where the trail crosses the paved roads.
Trail surface is crushed stone, dirt, some sandy spots and grass.
Coming from Corry to Clymer you bike approx 5 miles to get to the New York border. There is no sign or anything!
We parked at the easiest lot to find once we got into town which is on North Center Street less than 1/10 of a mile from Tim Hortons. The North Center Street lot is mile 0 of the trail. The trail crosses over Sciota Street but there is no where to park. Another great place to park is on Hereford Road. No parking at the North end in Clymer NY.
This is a great trail if you would like a peaceful quite ride. I would not recommend on a road bike. Enjoy!
We usually ride on limestone so we really enjoyed the paved trail. Very well maintained and great views. We were disappointed at the lack of trail signs. The leg from the main loop to Edward Ct. basically had none. Once we got to Route 16 we gave up and went back to the main loop to ride.
Trail is well shaded on a warm summer day. Tree lined for most of the trail length and some open areas of farmlands/fields as well. The pavement on this trail is in very good condition as it's only a few years old. Great ride as always. Biked from Leeper to Marienville and back, 30 miles round trip.
Trail is well maintained. Several parking areas, both trail heads, along RT 120 and along West Creek Rd. Emporium to St. Mary's is uphill. First 12 MI is gradual grade. Remaining miles a little steeper. Great scenery.
We biked the first 3 miles of this trail (6 miles round trip) from the Wildlife Viewing Area to the 40 Maples Picnic Area. Perfect trail for families. Our kids ages 11, 9, and 6 loved it! The trail follows the river and then goes through a forested stretch. Lots of possibility for wildlife viewing along the trail. A mile in you can bike up to the gorgeous Wildlife Center/Park Office.
