Ride day: Sunday July 12, 2026 We started at the Panhandle Trail Head at Country Road 50 N. Only real downed was the parking at the trail head. Only 3 spaces available and 2 were taken. Was a touch tricky, but we got it. We rode North through the town of Royal Center and on wards. After an hour give or take we turned to head back. The trail is perfect. Fairly straight trail with all kinds of wildlife and beautiful scenery all around. Only a few minor root bumps on the trail - but they were all marked. Even some rest rooms along the way! Will ride again without question - great trail.
There's a fair amount of road crossings here, but it's otherwise a very good trail.
It's a completely sunny trail, so break out the sunscreen/long sleeved shirts for this one.
The trail elevates you to the point where you will feel like you're on top of an actual levee.
You'll be seeing boat docks for the most part, so there isn't too much to see.
The pavement is a bit rough all throughout the trail, as roots are beginning to crack through so some brief sections are rough on the bum.
You'll get both sun & shade on this decent nature trail.
an enjoyable experience with river bluff trail just down the street.
Although relatively short (it's actually 2.6 miles, not 2.3) it traverses wooded areas, forest edge areas, dense brush areas, open meadows, and takes you directly under the Avon haunted bridge. You're never far from White Lick Creek, and most of the time it's right next to you, so there are some very good wildlife opportunities it presents.
I did a roundtrip walk of 5.2 miles and saw numerous Indigo buntings, multiple Baltimore Orioles, Eastern Towhees, Red-eyed Videos, an Eastern parula, red headed woodpeckers, yellowthroats, a Kentucky Warbler, and at least 10-12 others I don't typically see at my feeders.
Highly recommend this trail!
I drove 4 hours to bike this trail (15 miles out and back) the last day of May and thoroughly enjoyed everything about it - the curves, the great condition of the trail, the birdsong, the bridges, the view of the river, the other cyclists as well as walkers. The switchback hill was tough. The ride on the road wasn’t bad at all. I recommend this trail for anyone looking for a trail of this length.
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.
The paved trail has not been maintained and is frequently interrupted by bursting roots. Lots of homeless in the area and trash on the trail. There are much better ones in Indy…
Highly recommend this beautiful and well kept trail. Beautiful to ride along the trees and over the 2 epic ohiopyle bridges.
