I love this trail. There's a trailhead right down the street from where I go to school up in Rochester, and it makes for a great endurance ride on a late summer or early fall day. Typically, I'll pick up the trail head and ride south down to Wadsworth Junction, where I can then pick up the Lehigh Valley trail. Generally speaking I have nothing bad to say about this trail. It's pretty well maintained, has some beautiful scenery, and a lot of cool history scattered throughout. However, a word of caution: It was the Sunday before Columbus day, I had some time to kill, and I decided I wanted to take the trail down to the Junction point in Piffard (Not the same as Pittsford). At this point in time, I hadn't gone anywhere past Wadsworth junction yet, so I was pretty much riding blind. As I got further south past Wadsworth, the terrain got significantly more sketchy. Trenches, muddy conditions, and A LOT of hedge apples. Not to mention the sheer amount of leaves that had fallen making it hard to plot a line ahead. Against all odds, I made it to my destination, and back in one piece, having only wiped out once. The moral of this story is, while the trail is awesome, do not attempt with out proper preparation. If you're like me, and you like to ride a gravel setup for versatility, be warned that standard gravel tires are probably not enough for the southern part of this trail specifically, and you might want to swap them for something more grippy (e.g. a cx tire) if you plan on going further. Great trail! Ride with caution.
Frigid blustery day to visit the park and trail. Several miles of the trail on the bay side were plowed by park personnel. Saw one cyclist using it. Several walkers. Park roads were snow covered. The sections of the trail that were not plowed had a good foot of snow on them, great for XC skiing. Plenty of hiking trails in the park good for hiking or snowshoeing. Ice in the trees on the bay side, some areas of the lake were frozen over though not thick enough for ice fishing. Horseshoe pond where the "houseboats" are was frozen though not sure how thick. The lake side of the peninsula ice was forming into ice dunes. Snow drifted over the trail on that side. A beautiful trail and park to visit year around.
Beautiful location and well maintained. Easy ride and not crowded when I went in September.
This trail is not scenic for most of the trail. The trail is hard to follow and I had to refer to maps several times. The trail is all paved but there is a considerable amount of debris on it from the adjacent highway. The trail should continue to Presqu Trail but falls short Severl busy intersections to cross and not the best area to travel in the afternoon as there were several unsavory person panhandling, moving scarp, and unchained dogs running.
Beautiful weather up on the Peninsula though somewhat breezy. Enjoyed the day at the park, got in a nice ride and went to Saras located at the entrance of the park for ice cream. The trail has been resurfaced within the past 2 years so if it's been a while since you've been there, time to revisit.
trail is closed through what used to be lasalle park, is now maybe ralph wilson park? has been closed for at least 2 years and will remain closed for a least another year.
We are camping at Lampe and can travel West or South on this trail along the Bayfront. Going WEST, the is currently a lot of construction, but when done should be a nice improvement. I like this western part as it travels along the bayfront and around Frontier park. Many good sights and watering holes. Sloppy Duck one of them. It also connects via a marked bike path to Presque Isle Drive to the beautiful 13 plus paved trail around the Peninsula.
Now, leaving the campground and heading south towards Behrend Campus is a different story. The first 2 or 3 miles is through the eastern part of the city. Traffic noise as you're right adjacent to the Bayfront highway. You will see a lot of decay from past industries. The trail itself is littered with trash and weed growth. Today, I was passed by two gas powered motorcycles, like dirt bikes going at a high rate of speed. There is little to no law enforcement. And no upkeep. I have encountered broken glass and drug paraphernalia in the past amongst the trash. About 3 miles out the trail leaves the jurisdiction of Erie and once into Millcreek becomes very nice and well maintained. Erie is a bike friendly town and does a great job with their bike trails other than this section going south from the bayfront to about 38th street. This section goes through an urban rundown area and is completely neglected.
Recently resurfaced, the entire trail is smooth asphalt that circles the Presque Isle peninsula. Plenty of parking along the beginning of the trail . We rode in the morning and trail was mostly shaded. Nice stopping points. Would also recommend to take a small detour towards the Coast Guard station and see the grandfathered bay housing and the lighthouse point of the bay channel. Well done PA, this is a flagship trail.
Everything south of Simmons road is spectacular. North of Simmons rd however has very minimal maintenance and do not recommend.
We traveled 90 minutes for a group ride here. It was a warm and sunny summer day, there isn't a whole lot of shade. The entire state park is virtually flat, as is the trail. Newly repaved asphalt within the last year or so. The bike path is approx 13 miles in length. We went extra on the roads to make it 20. We chose to ride on a weekday. Less crowds, not as many on the trail. Since it was so hot, the beaches that were open were crowded! Always an enjoyable ride on this trail, the key word is "weekday"!
We didn’t ride it all the way to Buffalo. We rode to Whirlpool State Park from Fort Niagara State Park. Stopped in Lewiston for an appetizer and beverage on the way back.
