We started the trail at the point where it branches away from Rte 120. The trail from Emporium to this point looked uninteresting as it parallels the highway. The portion we rode toward St Mary's was more remote, edging along the stream. It was a steady climb toward St Mary's so I recommend that you ride in that direction. The return trip was easy riding down hill. We were disappointed that we did not see any wildlife in such a remote area, but you cannot have everything. The trail condition is decent. The stone is a little on the course side for hybrid and road tires but still very rideable. The trail looks like it is maintained for snow mobiling and the club that maintains it should be complimented for sharing this nice recreational trail.
Ran here in July on vacation.Started at St Bonaventure Tennis Courts.Cool summer morning.Just a very pleasant trail,scenic views of river,and friendly people.
Trail is a bit over grown with weeds un spots. Had to ride in wheel ruts. Dense woods. Not much to see. Saw several deer. Bring bug spray. Nrockway has several pizza places and grills. Same in Ridgeway. Not many prople on trail.
Rode from Jefferson Rd (252) to the Lehigh Valley trail. Nice and flat. Just south of Erie Station Rd there are a few huge trees that came down obstructing the trail that you have to kind of climb through (watch out for poison ivy). Otherwise a very nice ride.
This trail has now been extended to St. Marys , making it a 20 mile trail . Crushed limestone and very nice . Make sure you start in Emporium and go to St. Marys , its downhill on the way back .
Just rode the trail from south to north and back. Beautiful and widely diverse scenery. The trial was slow compared to asphalt or crushed stone, being mostly grass, hard-packed dirt, and some crushed stone. Mostly double-track but single-track in some places. The southern-most end was primarily mowed grass, but the further north we rode, the harder and smoother the trail surface became. There was a Porta-John at the ball field in Little Valley, which was nice, but otherwise no amenities. Met the Director of the Pat McGee Trail on his tractor. Was thrilled that we "came all the way from Rochester to ride his little trail."
Ok im probly wrong but i feel like i have put more miles on this trail than anyone. I mean dog walking, bike rides, commuting, trainning for a marathon. my first date with my wife. Once or twice i even walked it late at night when i thought it best i leve my car at the bar. I love the trail its beutifull in every season. Wether your trying to work out or going to J'z texas hots for a bite to eat. If your in the neighborhood its werth checking out. I'll see you there.
My sister and our boys did this trail and it was very nice walking down by the water especially after her long day at work. It was also, an easy walk for my blind Uncle whom we would occasionally bring with us. I loved that it was paved because her boy could use roller blades. It also goes passed an old grave yard. If you haven't walked it yet I would strongly recommend it. Thanks. Marlene
Thanks for your trail link. Wondering what to do for two nights in Dubois, pa. Downloaded your app. Found trail fast and nearby us. Thanks
This trail rivals Pine Creek for seclusion and scenery. For the first 15 miles out of Brockway we saw more deer than people,(it was a Wednesday). Had lunch in Ridgeway before returning to Brockway. There are a few areas where the center of the trail is getting overgrown, not a big deal on a bike but it means one , sometimes two wheels of our trikes were in the grass. Worth the 4 hour drive to get there.
myself and my partner just moved to Olean, Ny and were looking forward to biking local trails..we were pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the trail..
