Queen City Trail

Nice connection from Oil Creek S-P

November, 2025 by vicki1960

Nice trail offering a connection from Oil Creek State Park into Titusville. Goes along Oil Creek on one side and sporting events fields on the other side. In Titusville you will find many amenities including places to eat, breweries, small shops in town, and a hotel.

Oil Creek State Park Trail

Fall Ride

October, 2025 by vicki1960

Enjoyable Fall foliage bike ride through the park. Started in Petroleum Centre and pedaled up to Jersey Bridge. From there we connected to the Queen City Trail and also visited Drake Well, the site of the first oil well in 1859. This trail is paved in very good condition with a few rough spots. Follows Oil Creek, water levels very low and some areas of the creek are just all rocks. Park office is closed weekends (it's off season) but there are composting restrooms across the road. Up at the Jersey Bridge end is a plastic restroom, seasonal.

David S. Ammerman Trail (formerly Clearfield to Grampian Trail)

West Creek Recreational Trail

Very nice trail!

September, 2025 by hartt20

Rode out 11 miles from Emporium toward St. Mary's (~22 miles RT). Beautiful scenery once you get out town. Several interpretive signs explaining the environment and history of the area. The trail is surface is mostly packed crush stone and is well maintained. Would definitely do this one again.

Sandy Creek Trail (PA)

Five Bridges Trail

Rough.. big gravel ..but beautiful. So much wildlife. Beaver dams. A bear jumped on the trail in front of me about 50 yards.. I just waited as he walked away from me.

Sandy Creek Trail (PA)

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.

Clarion-Little Toby Trail

Nice Trail- has some deep water holes

July, 2025 by carebare552

This trail goes through state game lands, is mostly shady and parallels an active railway. The active railway portion has some deep mudholes. It would be wise to start at Ridgeway as it is uphill to Brockway.

A shady path for a heat intensive day!

Knox & Kane Rail Trail

Knox Kane Trail

July, 2025 by carebare552

Started at Kane. The trail was unmaintained after mile 4.7. I then went to the Kinzua bridge state park and rode to 219. A nice trail

Queen City Trail

I keep hoping to see the bear

June, 2025 by thejenni.girl

This is a nice and short little section of the Pittsburgh to Erie Trail System. Great for evening walks

Oil Creek State Park Trail

Stunning views!

June, 2025 by thejenni.girl

I love this trail! It’s local and once you get 3 miles in there’s almost no traffic!

Sandy Creek Trail (PA)

A forever favorite!

June, 2025 by thejenni.girl

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