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.

Little Beaver Creek Greenway Trail

good choice for hot day

July, 2025 by dianefarmstronger

Aside from there not being a place to grab a bite close by in Washingtonville (ended up at Fat Ted’s which closes at 2) this was a good choice for a high 80s day. Lots of shade and beautiful. Could use better trail markings in Leetonia where we needed help finding the trail.

Trout Island Trail

A lot of mosquitoes and gnats.

July, 2025 by rsbrocklehurst

We went for a quick family ride with grandkids last night. The trail had a large amount of tall grass on it that had mowed onto the path. The bugs were bad.

Stavich Bicycle Trail

Decent trail in PA. Ohio needs some work. They are replacing the section in lowellville

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.

Ernst Trail

June 2025 Ride-Shade and more Shade!

June, 2025 by vicki1960

On a hot summer day, this is the trail to ride! Miles and miles of nothing but shade. Always an enjoyable ride on this trail. Follows French Creek which was muddy and high levels of water due to so much recent rains. Saw a hawk along the trail. And a turtle down near the Beans trailhead.

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.

Pyamunting Greenway

It's open and it's awesome!

June, 2025 by vicki1960

Pymatuning Valley Greenway Trail: Great little trail in Andover. We parked at the police station (they offer about 10 spots worth) and headed Northwest to Leon Road. Trail is flat and asphalt paved and pavement is very smooth since it's so new! This section is about 3.5 miles in length. Some wooded offering shade but most of it is through open farmlands. Parking at the Leon Road end for approx 20 cars. Great new pristine trail. The section that runs Southeast out of Andover is a little less than 2 miles in length. You can connect the two on your own navigating though the Village of Andover, there's a few block gap. This trail is maintained by Ashtabula Metroparks. It's been under development for a few years and happy that it's open and operational. While in the area head on over to PA and visit the Pymatuning Spillway Trail and feed the fish at the spillway. Trail services in Andover: Ice Cream, Food, Convenience Store, Pizza place and grocery store.

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.

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!
