John C. Oliver Multi-Purpose Loop Trail

Summer 2025 well shaded

July, 2025 by vicki1960

This trail is paved and encircles Lake Wilhelm within the Maurice K. Goddard State Park. Rolling Pennsylvania terrain and plentiful shade makes this trail great fun in the hot Summer months. Stay for the day at this park and enjoy boating and kayaking, fishing, picnic areas and a children's playground. The new Marina/Snack Shop is opened having been rebuilt 2024/2025.

Allegheny River Trail

Always a great ride

Franklin to Brandon and back, always an enjoyable ride on this trail. Beautiful views of the Allegheny River. Water levels are down from last month when we had so much rain. Trail gates recently painted look great!

Armstrong Trails

Brady Tunnel Open, Trail Closure at Mahoning, Great Trail

July, 2025 by vicki1960

The Brady Tunnel opened Fall 2024 following renovation. Very dark inside (due to its doors) so you need a light. Trail closure at mile marker 55 at Mahoning Creek (since April 2025) You can detour by using nearby road, road bridge and grass path to reconnect to the trail. We parked at the Redbank trailhead on Redbank Road, just past St. Marys Redbank church. This is the intersection of Redbank Tr mile 0 and the Armstrong Tr approx mile 63. Trail surface is crushed limestone. Some of it very well packed down, some of it washed away leaving nothing but packed dirt, and some of the trail is double tracked. We didn't have any trouble on our hybrids. We went South to Mahoning and turned around and up to the Brady Tunnel passing the Redbank Coaling Tower. We went though the tunnel and continued approx 5 miles through the Sarah Furnace area. We also went towards East Brady passed the Phillipston turntable. Nearest trail services are in East Brady, otherwise you're on your own. Trail mostly shaded, follows the Allegheny River. Very peaceful., scenic and historic. See photos. Our next plan is to ride another segment of the trail.

July, 2025 by cherbini

We biked from Emlenton northerly for just under an hour. Going through the tunnel was cool. Make sure you have a light. A little bumpy due to tree roots bulging the pavement but really enjoyed it. Follows the river. Saw deer and rabbits.

Trout Island Trail

Dam Race 5k

July, 2025 by vicki1960

Evening race held every July, the dam race 5k. Runners and walkers can go across the dam. Bugs and gnats weren't too bad that evening. There definitely is an issue in Sharpsville with gnats and bugs, even in town where the plaza is as well as far away as the schools. Seems North of the dam it's not as buggy. Volunteers did mow along the last 1/2 mile of the trail in South Pymatuning Twp.

One of my favorite trails in this region I start the trail at the trails northern most end point,south of US 322 bridge.Along the trail there are some camp sites along the Allegheny River near the ending parking lot .The entire trail is paved but be aware of crossing wildlife and bumps along the trail surface.Depending how far you plan on riding plan accordingly pack snacks,drinks and knowledge of changing a inner tube if you get a flat tire wouldn’t hurt either. Be more AWARE of people on E Bicycles they don’t seem to pay attention to regular bicycles on the trail …Matt¿¿¿¿

Summer Ride

July, 2025 by vicki1960

Parked at Belmar and biked down (literally) to Fishermans Cove and back then up to Van and returned back at Belmar. Trail is mostly shaded. Several wooded bridges along the trail crossing Sandy Creek, they seem to be showing their age with some loose boards. Mays Mill tunnel short, do not need a light. Coasting back from Van is a breeze! Sandy Creek and Allegheny River water levels low. Saw one doe and fawn.
