We rode the GAP from Cedar Creek Park to the Boston trailhead at the base of the Historic Boston Bridge and back. About 36 miles round trip. What a great ride. Smooth trail with lots of benches and several picnic areas and toilet facilities. Well maintained. Passed through several little communities along the trail. No major highways and very few little roads to cross making it very safe. Got a delicious huge “medium” size ice cream cone at the “Big Twist” in Blythedale, right off the trail. Highly recommend this ride!
Went out today (6Sept26) on my recumbent trike and I went to the Connellsville trailhead by the Martins grocery. That is the old train station and is well set up with lots of parking, restrooms, and camp sites. I took the trail toward Ohiopyle and it was just peaceful as can be. A good many riders on the trail, but everyone was courteous. The trail is well maintained, although maybe a little narrow in spots. Try it out sometime for yourself. Enjoy!
Started in Schenley where the bridge crosses the Kiski River. This is at mile 0. Begin at the newly refurbished bridge in 2024. The bridge doesn't connect to anything at this time. There is a "flyover" planned for future development. We biked North to Ford City. Crushed limestone in very good condition and grass mowed along side. We passed an environmental clean-up site from and old well between miles 4 & 5. There are mileage signs. Two miles South of Ford City you will cross the bridge over Rosston at Crooked Creek. This looks to be relatively new I couldn't find any info on when it opened. Approaching Ford City the trail becomes paved and there are plenty of picnic tables and benches along the trail. In Ford City there are flower gardens along the trail and restrooms. Also the former PPG site which closed in the early 1990's. Ford City offers plenty of places to eat and the place we chose was very trail friendly filling our water bottles for asking. There isn't much shade along this 13 mile section of the trail and no benches along the trail to stop and rest. (Until we got to Ford City). We also took the few mile trail from Schenley down to Leechburg. It follows the Kiski River and comes out behind the old steel mill.
We parked at Kirk Road and biked to the Mahoning/Trumbull County line and picked up the Niles Bikeway into Niles for additional miles. MetroParks Bikeway has been repaved within the past few years, surface good. Not a whole lot of shade though. There is a bike rental at the Kirk Road trailhead. Also sells bottled water. We headed towards Canfield on the trail in the opposite direction. Great trail!
We biked on this trail coming seamlessly off the Metro Parks trail. This trail begins at Countyline....the Mahoning and Trumbull County lines. Trail is asphalt paved in good condition. One busy road crossing just below Meander Reservoir. At the Niles trailhead the trail extends 2/10 of a mile over at least one bridge. Eventually it will connect with the Western Reserve Trail in Warren.
Group ride. We parked in Franklin and biked South to Sunnyslope for 12.5 miles and back. This is the best section of the trail since everything from Kennerdell tunnel and South is like a washboard. 3.25 miles South of Franklin there is a hillside erosion and caution tape, since April 2026. Follow along the trail and go through the grass.
First time for riding the Conotton creek trail and we really liked it. The best place to park is on the Jewett end. Nice and flat, pavement in great shape and bathrooms long the way. We will definitely ride this trail again.
Nice community trail that links to a beautiful park for kids. Nice ride if you’re in the neighborhood.
I rode this trail on my way back from RAGBRAI to check off West Virginia and maintain my fitness. It was perfect for that purpose. I rode it on a road bike with 28 mm tires, and they performed well. We started our journey downtown at Heritage Point. There isn’t dedicated trail parking, but there’s free parallel parking on the street next to the trail. We headed north first. We crossed under the 1848 suspension bridge and navigated through areas between buildings and woods. Further down, there are stretches of a couple of miles next to a road. The road was not busy, and it was entirely safe. There were many expansion cracks but few heaves. There weren’t many road crossings. We turned around after 8 miles, where there’s a structure that I suppose is used for loading coal onto barges. The trail was nicely paved, but we rode back and then to the southern terminus. South of heritage point it seemed there were more heaves in the trail surface. They were outlined with white paint. Much of the south part was not very scenic. It was about 3 miles to the trail terminus.
I parked in Wellsburg and rode through town first. Very unkempt and Unmarked. Bumpy and just all around super unenjoyable. Headed back the other direction. While nicer, admittedly, it was still pretty unkept. 2/10 for being lackluster. At best.
I love this trail! The elevation is constantly changing. Couple that with many curves and you have a challenging trail if you are someone who rides a bit faster than most. You will encounter steep downhills that end with a 90deg turn, or sometimes a horseshoe turn. I am 79 and find this a great trail on which to hone your skills. And yet you meet the most interesting people enjoying nature at its best. I saw a man on a unicycle just going to town on the curves. Then I saw a woman in her 90s slowly pushing a wheeled walker along. Bless her and her determination to carry on. Keep moving!
