We did the entire paved path including the little extension near Meadville. Very nice!

Summer, 2026: Schenley to Ford City

August, 2026 by vicki1960

Started in Schenley where the bridge crosses the Kiski River. This is at mile 0. Begin at the newly refurbished bridge in 2024. The bridge doesn't connect to anything at this time. There is a "flyover" planned for future development. We biked North to Ford City. Crushed limestone in very good condition and grass mowed along side. We passed an environmental clean-up site from and old well between miles 4 & 5. There are mileage signs. Two miles South of Ford City you will cross the bridge over Rosston at Crooked Creek. This looks to be relatively new I couldn't find any info on when it opened. Approaching Ford City the trail becomes paved and there are plenty of picnic tables and benches along the trail. In Ford City there are flower gardens along the trail and restrooms. Also the former PPG site which closed in the early 1990's. Ford City offers plenty of places to eat and the place we chose was very trail friendly filling our water bottles for asking. There isn't much shade along this 13 mile section of the trail and no benches along the trail to stop and rest. (Until we got to Ford City). We also took the few mile trail from Schenley down to Leechburg. It follows the Kiski River and comes out behind the old steel mill.

Oil City Trail

Great Connector

August, 2026 by vicki1960

Biked on the Samuel Justus Trail and used this trail to access the McClintock Trail.

Allegheny River Trail

Northern Section is good

August, 2026 by vicki1960

Group ride. We parked in Franklin and biked South to Sunnyslope for 12.5 miles and back. This is the best section of the trail since everything from Kennerdell tunnel and South is like a washboard. 3.25 miles South of Franklin there is a hillside erosion and caution tape, since April 2026. Follow along the trail and go through the grass.

Kinzua Valley Trail

Horrible

August, 2026 by luxstacey

We tried all three trail heads. Tally Ho was washed out and impassable. Traveled up the road to the Red Bridge. Crossed the bridge and turned around and loaded our bikes back up. It was a single dirt lane with overgrown grass and wash out divets up and down the path. Didn’t even seem hikable let alone bikable. We ended at Westline. Road the trail for 3.2 miles and a large tree was across the trail and again, impassable. We turned around. The trail itself was “ok”. Some spots were pretty rough and we had to creep through to not be knocked off.

Samuel Justus Recreation Trail

Nice smooth, basically flat trail. Many benches to take a break if needed.

Knox & Kane Rail Trail

Aug 2026 Ride

August, 2026 by kjames196

We went on a pleasant, mostly cloudy day in August. Went from mile 58 to 46 and back. This section is a very nice, mostly rural/woods trail. The surface (crushed limestone) is generally good; the trail is sometimes as wide as a car lane, sometimes narrows down considerably (mostly due to the edges are not in as good shape as the middle). It does cross roads in spots, but most are not busy. I'd say 70% of it is in the shade, with some sections in the sun (but most sun sections are not long, so this would be a good trail for a hot day). Kane has a surprisingly large downtown, with quite a few restaurants (the Table 105 restaurant is quite good). The scenery is not spectacular (no dramatic waterfalls or cliffs) but beautiful woods with lots of large trees and pleasant fields. It was not very crowded when we went.

John C. Oliver Multi-Purpose Loop Trail

This trail is full of curves and gentle hills. And absolute good time to ride. An electric bike with assist is recommended.

Trail closure & Canadian Wildfire Smoke

July, 2026 by vicki1960

Before the Canadian wildfire smoke got worse, we ventured out for a morning ride. Air quality bad but not "as bad" as it got. Hazy skies and the slight smell of burned plastic. The well shaded trail filtered out a lot of it. Trail closure at the 2 mile mark. 1 mile from the Beans trailhead. They have been working on a pipeline near the trail which you could see from the trail and the trail had been open. But now they are working under the trail and there is no way to get around the construction so it's fenced off. Not sure how long they will be working in that spot. In the meantime the remainder of the trail is open.
