Rode from East Brady to Kittanning. Very nice trail, well marked and extremely well maintained. It was worth the 2.5 hour drive to ride it.
One of the nicest paved trailed around! Clean, maintained, courteous trail users. No bathrooms, but, jeez, pee at Sheetz!
Beautiful Spring day for a ride. Got through that rough Winter and mostly rainy Spring now time to enjoy the trail. Parked at the North Bloomfield trailhead on Route 87. Headed south for about 10 miles and turned around then North to Orwell and back. Enjoyable trail and ride!
I ride this trail frequently. It is beautiful, clean and well kept. I highly recommend it.
This is the second time riding the WRG.We started at The Rock Creek Falls Trailhead. Still like because of the wide trail. We also found when you get to the Austinburg Trail Head that about 500 feet west of it is a great coffee shop. They roast their own coffee and have fresh baked pastries. A small coffee and tea and 2 banana bread with chocolate was around $10.00. We like to support local businesses along trails if we can. Safe travels.
We have ridden the trail a couple of times this year. We started at Rock Creek Trailhead and rode to Ashtabula. Nice wide trail. A few bumps but that is to be expected. When you get to Austinburg there is a Coffee shop there that is a good place to get some coffee and a pastry. I believe it’s Station Coffee and Pastry. Coffee beans are roasted on site and fresh baked pastry. We had the banana bread with chocolate chips. Small coffee and a tea and two slices banana bread was around $10.00. We love riding trails where you can stop and try some local shops.
Brand new trail with a lot to see! Only 1.5 miles, this trail is perfect for a stroll along the stream on a nice day. It has plenty of benches in ideal spots and signage about the history of the railroad. The bridge and long tunnel are fascinating trail features that break up the forested areas. Lots of birds and wildlife. It starts at a decently sized parking lot and ends next to a road. Definitely recommend for anyone close by!
Started in Lisbon and rode north to the northern end of the trail. A good portion is shaded. Entire trail is in great shape. Trail signs in Leetonia are missing. When riding north through Leetonia, stay on Main St., which turns into Cherry Valley Rd, then right onto East High Street, which connects with the last few miles of the trail.
Four of us rode this trail on Memorial Day. Not many people were out riding. We only rode from Saltsburg to the Conemaugh dam. At age 78, hauling a bike up and down stairs at Bow Ridge is not for us. I love this trail! The first 4+ miles was typical tree covered rail trail along the river. Then it turns interesting as the trail goes cross-country with many changes in elevation. The hill just past Elder run is very steep with some loose gravel that can be a challenge. Then there is a long downhill run thru the woods. But these are the type of things that made the trail interesting. More trails should offer some natural diversity, even if it requires a parallel route to the main trail.
We started in Emlenton and headed North. Emlenton to Kennerdell. 12ish miles one way. Rockland tunnel and Emlenton tunnel, need lights...they are dark and long tunnels. Allegheny River water level high due to recent heavy rains. Trail surface is paved. Always an enjoyable ride on this section of the trail.
Very nice trail. Pretty scenery but the amount of gnats on it ruin it. There was probably about 1 minute of the ride where there wasn’t a swarm of gnats you were going through.
