Allegheny River Trail

Franklin to Sunnyslope and back

July, 2025 by vicki1960

River flowing good since recent rains. Biked from Franklin to Sunnyslope and back, 12.5 miles each way for a 25 mile round trip. Not much shade.

Clarion-Little Toby Trail

Nice Trail- has some deep water holes

July, 2025 by carebare552

This trail goes through state game lands, is mostly shady and parallels an active railway. The active railway portion has some deep mudholes. It would be wise to start at Ridgeway as it is uphill to Brockway.

A shady path for a heat intensive day!

Knox & Kane Rail Trail

Knox Kane Trail

July, 2025 by carebare552

Started at Kane. The trail was unmaintained after mile 4.7. I then went to the Kinzua bridge state park and rode to 219. A nice trail

Armstrong Trails

Trail closed north of Templeton

July, 2025 by tedb

Surprised to find the closure over the Mahoning Creek just north of Templeton. Looks like it has been that way for a while despite a recent review not mentioning it. No detour posted.

Great Allegheny Passage

Riding on this was a bucket list trail. Had hoped to ride further on it but had time restraints. Great trail. The rest stop in Meyersdale is wonderful. Plan someday to return and ride more of it.

Allegheny River Trail

Franklin to Brandon

June, 2025 by wendym0605

Beautiful ride into Brandon and back. Path is paved and maintained.

Ghost Town Trail

Finally did the trail...not overly impressed

June, 2025 by zap26

The trail was ok. My goal was to do the full trail 32 miles out and 32 miles back (Blacklick to Ebansburg), however the incline heading east was more than I could take on a very hot day so I turned around at mile 22. There were a lot of signage explaining towns that were once in a location. I think I pictured in my mind these abondoned towns were there were at least foundations left or something. It got boring after a while. Glad I did it, don't need to do it again.

Butler-Freeport Community Trail

good trail

June, 2025 by ecd4105

Rode this trail over two days and found it to be pleasant and well maintained. There is not a lot of supply options along the trail so bring what you need. Uphill from Freeport to Cabot and downhill into Butler. The last mile or so into Butler could use some attention. I would recommend this trail.

Armstrong Trails

Awesome trail

June, 2025 by howardlanphere

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.

Bells Gap Rail Trail

Nice trail, a tree down across the trail about 4 miles up from parking lot when I'm writing this.

Allegheny River Trail

Late Spring Ride-Franklin

June, 2025 by vicki1960

We parked in Franklin and headed South for about 10 miles to Brandon. the first 8.5 miles or so are full sun so keep this in mind on a hot sunny day. Then there is a few miles of shade to Brandon. Beautiful day for a ride for once we had some sun and not overcast and/or rain. Always enjoy our cycling on this trail.

Mahoning Shadow Trail

Mahoning Shadow is a beautiful ride

June, 2025 by lorainer

We stayed in Punxsutawney and could access the trail from our B and B. We rode east to Winslow, an uphill grade but doable on our e-bikes. Saw chipmunks, squirrels and a very long black snake crossing the trail. After a break for lunch in town we rode west to the Fordham trailhead. Several interesting sights along the way- the coke ovens, a couple Minions and another snake. The trail is wide 8-12’ with a cinder surface with no roots or potholes the whole length. Total 16 miles on a shady trail, sometimes along the Mahoning Creek. I bet it’s gorgeous in the Fall.
