October, 2026. We walked on this trail at the Kinzua Bridge State Park end of the trail. Beautiful fall foliage. Surface is crushed limestone in very good condition as it's only a few years old.
October, 2026. We hiked a short section from East Trailhead towards Guffy or Guffey. We used the road, gravel share the road. Trail splits off to the righ to Guffey. New parking lot along Route 219 in Lewis Run. Holds approx 10 vehicles. On the other side of 219 is Westline Road. So the trail also goes that way, at Tally Ho.
This trail is a work in progress and coming along nicely. We've ridden different sections over the years. Surfaces vary. October, 2026 we started on the connecting Rail 66 Country Trail, mile marker 13 in Farmington Township, Leeper. Cycled to the Forest County line at mile marker 20 and seamlessly connected to the Knox & Kane Rail trail. We pedaled North to Marienville at mile marker 26. Still all on asphalt pavement. The pavement continued North of Marienville to mile marker 27.5. This is measuring the distance back to Shippenville. There the trail seemed to end and turn to dirt. New sign in Marienville at the restored train station and large gravel parking lot. Restrooms in Marienville but they were locked. Beautiful mural in Marienville. Signs of fall colors but too early in the month, should be beautiful as the month goes on!
We rode from the Kane trailhead to the Kinzua Bridge. The trail is gorgeous…running through wooded areas, a golf course with a fountain, farms and ending at the Kinzua Bridge. Kane has lovely restaurants (e.g. Table 105 and Pepe’s) and lodging at the Kane Manor Inn.
Cycled northern 6 miles and returned 6 miles to Pavilion at Little Valley..
North end wormed under downed tree across trail and over another tree.
Again no asphalt, grass not cut, no mile markers, no amenities going north
5 Star Needs to Be Removed Again No Asphalt

We had high hopes for this trail and were disappointed. The parking area is a little sketchy and the trail itself is bumpy gravel. Some of it was just grass with big stones throughout. We actually turned around after about 3 miles because we thought we might blow a tire. Seems like it has potential but it is not maintained at all. The pictures are deceiving.
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.
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.
This trail is one of the nicest in the area! Really awesome when a train comes through!
Canadian smoke was not bad. Trail could use some TLC on the surface. Many times of ruts. Downhill going to the Clarion. Up a bit to Ridgeway. Had to exit the trail 3 miles from Ridgeway and go on Route 949 for a few hundred yards. 18 miles. Recommend Joey’s for breakfast/lunch. All in all, a nice day!
