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

Karl Boyes Multi-Purpose National Recreation Trail

GREAT TRAIL

June, 2025 by zap26

Visited Erie on a whim to do this trail and it did not disappoint. I biked from my hotel by the Pier millennium tower to the park. For the most part it was easy because there was a bike trail but it was also a little confusing when I got to the intersection which I should have turned (not clearly indicating to turn toward the isle) so I went 4 miles out of my way. Once I got on the island there was a separate bike path throughout the park. It was flat and beautiful ride. Stopped at one of the beaches to get my feet wet since it was 95 degrees out and stopped and did the tour of the lighthouse. This was definitely worth visiting Erie to do. Found my way back to the hotel much easier (without going out of my way). Only time I was actually on the road with cars was near Waldameer Park and for the most part felt safe since the speed limit was 25 MPH. If you are visiting Erie, definitely worth the ride. I think it would be really cool to watch the sunset over lake Erie from the island.

Queen City Trail

I keep hoping to see the bear

This is a nice and short little section of the Pittsburgh to Erie Trail System. Great for evening walks

Oil Creek State Park Trail

Stunning views!

June, 2025 by thejenni.girl

I love this trail! It’s local and once you get 3 miles in there’s almost no traffic!

Corry Junction Greenway Trail

Poor maintenance in NY

June, 2025 by thejenni.girl

The PA portion is a decent greenway. The instant you cross into NY you see evidence of vandalism, 4-wheelers nearly run you over (they don’t slow down), multiple rotting deer carcasses dumped on the trail, piles of garbage, horrendous ruts & puddles from ATVs and my personal favorite: 2 young Amish having sex in the middle of the path. it was not the experience I was expecting at all! Do better New York!

Oil Creek State Park Trail

Always a nice ride-June 2025

June, 2025 by vicki1960

Great trail no matter the season. June 2025 a warm and sunny day. This trail offered 85% shade! Just a few short areas that isn't fully shaded. Trail follows Oil Creek, asphalt paved trail surface in very good condition except for a few bumps. We parked in Petroleum Centre and biked North to Titusville and back. Had lunch in Titusville took some side streets to a restaurant. There's several eateries in Titusville as well as trail services...dollar store, convenience store. We frequent this one in the summer due to the shade!

Bayfront Connector Trail

Typical Urban Trail

June, 2025 by dharbula

The trail is very poorly marked! The area around Behrend campus and also Lampe Campground near the channel are very nice. The rest is simply urban riding. But it’s better than nothing if you live in the Erie area.

Karl Boyes Multi-Purpose National Recreation Trail

A few miles of the trail are plowed of snow

January, 2025 by vicki1960

The first few miles of the trail, as you enter the park, have been plowed and salted. It's down to the asphalt for miles but a few icy snowy spots here and there. The bay side of the lake is frozen over with ice fisherman out there. On the other side, facing Canada, there are ice dunes and the ice is frozen for as far as you can see from the shoreline. A beautiful state park to visit all 4-seasons.

Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail

Great trail

November, 2024 by mzkzps6zjk

I have hiked several sections of the trail. Parts are still ungroomed while others are packed stone. The Orchard Park strip has parking at the old train station and is packed stone for biking or hiking. Beyond Jewitt Holmwood the trail is the old rail bed and is a bit rough in spots but still a beautiful and easy hike.

Karl Boyes Multi-Purpose National Recreation Trail

Beautiful Fall Day-Oct 2024

October, 2024 by vicki1960

A mild and sunny day provided a great opportunity to ride the trail and take in the colors of fall! Temps near 70 with brilliant blue skies. The bike path has been recently repaved and is as smooth as silk. The main road within the park has also been repaved. Both, much needed. Thank you State of PA! Beautiful fall colors. The entire park, including the trail, has about 10 feet of elevation. So that makes for very flat, and easy riding.

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!
