Although not totally connected, we found this trail to be delightful. It takes you through some safe, side streets to a fairly flat, forested path. The woodsy part is dirt/gravel and can be a bit challenging, as you need to be aware of the twigs, uneven surfaces,and wildlife. But hey...isn't this why we ride?
One word. GREAT. Clean trail, beautiful sight seeing, lovely picnic areas, dog friendly environment... You can't beat it.
Well maintained and shady in the summer. Pastoral views

The overpass at mile marker 11.5 in Seven Valleys over PA Rt 214 is closed and Northbound trail users must descend an embankment next to the Four Springs Winery and ride through town to Church St to pick up the trail again. Southbound riders follow the same detour in reverse.
We have ridden this trail several times. This is the last. Since the last time we rode here, they have topped the trail with large stone. It is so hard to navigate, it feels dangerous. We had to concentrate on the trail, rather than enjoy the surroundings. Used to be a lovely ride.
Hands-down amazing trail. It’s a nice wooded adventure, especially east of Riverfront Park, and it’s twisty! Not enough to really impede a good ride. I like the twists; they made the trail interesting in ways many rail trails don’t. Highly recommend for riders of all levels.
This trail is straight-up amazing. I have nothing else to say.
I started at city island and headed up river which is nice- you might have a hard time following at times as you go along the backside of Harrisburg- the path at Farmshow complex is closed due to repairs. I found that having this app or having trail loaded on bike computer is a very big help combined with the green belt signs to reinforce. Seems to be a lot of areas with construction. Some parts of the trail are on streets or crossing streets… so be prepared for traffic… I used bright clothing and my flashing bikes to lights.. this might be a better for walking or running
While in the area, at Little Buffalo State Park, we visited this trail. Trailhead and parking below the dam. There is a covered bridge and old mill there. Trail is flat and goes approx 1 mile. Surface is gravel. Interesting stop to see the historical items. We were there the end of December and the trail was decorated for a Christmas Holiday walking tour. In the state park there are picnic areas and a swimming pool up above the lake.
It was a foggy damp day. Very light traffic on the trail except in Shippensburg. Very, very well maintained! Some of the gravel is deeper in areas than others, which when wet causes substantial drag on the tires. Total of 26 1/2 miles from end to end as out and back.
