Rail 66 Country Trail

What a gem!

September, 2024 by seicats

Beautiful scenery with no hills. Would highly recommend starting out at Farmington Township Park heading North (left) on trail for about 13 miles to have lunch at Bettina’ Italian Restaurant in Marienville. Perfect stopping point and best Italian food ever!

Knox & Kane Rail Trail

Amazing Trail!

August, 2024 by norrisj15_tl

Road the Kane Knox Trail starting in Kane down to DeYoung and back before taking a break and then doing the bit north to the current stopping point near the Kane Country Club.

The path is exceptionally maintained. Easily bikeable on any type of type of bike due to the surface being primarily asphalt.

The trail was lightly traveled for a Saturday so had no issues with traffic on the trail.

We made a stop at Country Pines Ice Cream Shop on the north stretch out of Kane for extremely good ice cream! Get a "kids" size, the prices are extremely reasonable for the large serving sizes.

Post the ~25 mile ride we went to Logyard Brewing in town for a great beer and snack.

Knox & Kane Rail Trail

August 2024 Ride

August, 2024 by vicki1960

We rode this trail from the Forest County line (at Blood Road) to Marienville and back. This section is 6.5 miles in length. Flat and paved for 6 miles of it, the last half-mile into Marienville is crushed limestone in very good condition. Most of the trail is very well shaded. The former train station in Marienville is a Pennsylvania Wilds Gift shop open daily. Near the trail in Marienville is a UK University Korner convenience store. They have water if needed, sandwiches, fruit and pizza. Found it to be very clean.

Great ride along the trail, August 2024. We parked at Farmington Twp. Park in Leeper, mile marker 13, and headed to the Forest County line at mile marker 20.5. We continued into Forest County on the Knox Kane Trail for and additional 6.5 miles to Marienville. Trail is asphalt paved in very good condition. Most of the trail is very well shaded, otherwise some open areas of farmlands.

Redbank Valley Rail Trail

Five Bridges Trail

Tremendous potential

August, 2024 by denny1115

First the cons: A roughie. A lot of undeveloped trail here. Need a mountain bike. No skinny tires here. Don`t travel alone on this the way I did. Lots of "close ones."

The pluses: Tremendous potential here. Beautiful area. A hats off to the individuals who are pioneering and working on this. HEROS in my book. No doubt at all. Get the money. Contact township, county officials, feds. Set up meetings with them. Get a good grant writer Get the $$.

First trail completed

Loved this trail. The metal statues are such a nice addition and good reason to take a brief rest. Plenty of places for a picnic. Trails are well maintained. Great views throughout the trail. Historical information provided is interesting. Will definitely do this trail again.
