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.

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.

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

Sandy Creek Trail (PA)

A forever favorite!

One of the nicest paved trailed around! Clean, maintained, courteous trail users. No bathrooms, but, jeez, pee at Sheetz!

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!

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.

May, 2025 Ride

June, 2025 by vicki1960

Beautiful Spring day for a ride. Got through that rough Winter and mostly rainy Spring now time to enjoy the trail. Parked at the North Bloomfield trailhead on Route 87. Headed south for about 10 miles and turned around then North to Orwell and back. Enjoyable trail and ride!

Coffee

June, 2025 by dkurta1234

This is the second time riding the WRG.We started at The Rock Creek Falls Trailhead. Still like because of the wide trail. We also found when you get to the Austinburg Trail Head that about 500 feet west of it is a great coffee shop. They roast their own coffee and have fresh baked pastries. A small coffee and tea and 2 banana bread with chocolate was around $10.00. We like to support local businesses along trails if we can. Safe travels.
