Allegheny River Trail

Cool weather ride on the Allegheny River Trail

September, 2024 by mcrad13

First time on this trail and the first bike packing trip for my daughter. The temps had dipped for the 2 days we were riding. We rode from Franklin to Emlenton and back. Camped near Franklin. The scenery is great, the trail grade is essentially flat. There are sections with tree root bumps that slows the pace a bit. The short gravel section is passable. There were a few branches on the trail that needed to be cleared to pass, most likely from the previous weather. All in all, a good ride.

Ghost Town Trail

Beware of washout!

September, 2024 by ksjackson

We started out at Dilltown and the washout starts at about Wehrum and continues off and on until you almost reach Belsano. From Nanty Glo to Ebensburg, the trail is good.

Rail 66 Country Trail

What a gem!

September, 2024 by seicats

Beautiful scenery with no hills. Would highly recommend starting out at Farmington Township Park heading North (left) on trail for about 13 miles to have lunch at Bettina’ Italian Restaurant in Marienville. Perfect stopping point and best Italian food ever!

Allegheny River Trail

September Ride

September, 2024 by rcwolf64

I liked this trail. A little rough in spots. Had to take it slow. Views made it worth slowing down for.

Washington's Landing Trail

Very Rocky n Dangerous

September, 2024 by pumpfaking28

I used to frequent this trail for the views. One of the most beautiful Pittsburgh sunrises can be seen from the edge of Washington landings. Well I recently went back and the area just didn’t seem too biker friendly anymore. It seems like the rocks and gravel have tripled. You have to take a very slow and methodical pace to complete this loop. Please be careful when going to Washington Landing

Ligonier Valley Trail

Took the bikes one way then back. Flat and level with one small hill. Good condition with some areas with small gravel.

Knox & Kane Rail Trail

Amazing Trail!

August, 2024 by norrisj15_tl

Road the Kane Knox Trail starting in Kane down to DeYoung and back before taking a break and then doing the bit north to the current stopping point near the Kane Country Club.

The path is exceptionally maintained. Easily bikeable on any type of type of bike due to the surface being primarily asphalt.

The trail was lightly traveled for a Saturday so had no issues with traffic on the trail.

We made a stop at Country Pines Ice Cream Shop on the north stretch out of Kane for extremely good ice cream! Get a "kids" size, the prices are extremely reasonable for the large serving sizes.

Post the ~25 mile ride we went to Logyard Brewing in town for a great beer and snack.

Sandyvale Trail

Quick

August, 2024 by 4bgs9zstwq

Flat and mostly paved/gravel. Nice with the wind chime garden

Blairsville Riverfront Trail

Beautiful ride along the river

August, 2024 by stephenjyesenosky

I wish it was longer!!!! Excellent ride and beautiful ride along the river.

Knox & Kane Rail Trail

August 2024 Ride

August, 2024 by vicki1960

We rode this trail from the Forest County line (at Blood Road) to Marienville and back. This section is 6.5 miles in length. Flat and paved for 6 miles of it, the last half-mile into Marienville is crushed limestone in very good condition. Most of the trail is very well shaded. The former train station in Marienville is a Pennsylvania Wilds Gift shop open daily. Near the trail in Marienville is a UK University Korner convenience store. They have water if needed, sandwiches, fruit and pizza. Found it to be very clean.

Rail 66 Country Trail

August 2024

August, 2024 by vicki1960

Great ride along the trail, August 2024. We parked at Farmington Twp. Park in Leeper, mile marker 13, and headed to the Forest County line at mile marker 20.5. We continued into Forest County on the Knox Kane Trail for and additional 6.5 miles to Marienville. Trail is asphalt paved in very good condition. Most of the trail is very well shaded, otherwise some open areas of farmlands.
