My wife and I spent 2 days on this trail. Extremely well maintained and very beautiful. We stayed at the Manor Hotel at about the mid point and there are other places to stay and campgrounds along the trail (you need a free permit to camp). We will definitely be back!
My wife and I enjoyed two sections of trail on two separate cycling days on this, our third cycling excursion on the Pine Creek Rail Trail. We stayed Bear Mountain Lodge just a few miles west and south of Wellsboro. We stayed in the Canyon Room and I can’t say enough good things about our stay there. We could have gotten on the trail just a sort road ride from the lodge, but with only two riding days available to us, and a desire to ride the more picturesque parts of the canyon, we drove to Darling Run and started from there and rode the 8 miles or so to Tiadaghton. There we stopped at the campground beside the creek for the lunch we’d brought. Next day we started from Miller’s Crossing and rode to Slate Run where we had lunch at the Manor Hotel for a 20 miles or so round trip. Two highlights of that day were the hummingbirds at the hotel in Cedar Run and the golden eagle sighting just a couple miles south of there. Noteworthy also were the free outdoor concerts in Wellsboro two nights and the meal and in-house brews we had at Wellsboro House. Altogether a lovely outing.
After 3.5 miles it stops and says “future construction, no trespassing.” While there is water to your left, it’s not really visible in the summer due to foliage. Skip this path and go to Pine Creek.
Is this really a .5 mile trail? I’ve seen driveways longer than that.
There are too many fast bikes on these trails. There is going to be an accident where someone get hit by an e bike of these trails. Someone is going to get hurt badly. A guy when by me yesterday with an ebike with two bags on the back side of the bike, he was going over 20 mph and startled me as he went by.
We left Lewisburg and got about five miles in and it's closed. They are resurfacing parts of the trail.This was Memorial Day 2026
This trail keeps getting better- It now has an awesome newly re-graveled sibling trail for bikers, the Conewago Recreation trail, which adds another 5 miles. I road yesterday from Elizabethtown all the way to Cornwall (Rootbeer barrel) and back (30 miles round trip) all smooth. Stopped by Mt Gretna Pizzeria- very close to the trail and no worries about traffic. Also stopped at Colebrook Crossing (ice cream shop!!!), which is so close to trail you can watch people riding while you enjoy a rootbeer float LOL
I drove out today as I was excited for a nice long trail but 2 miles in I was going to turn around because the stones were so large, it was a very bumpy ride. I went out 5 hoping it would improve but it did not. Ugh then 5 back. If paved it will be great. It was also 2 1/2 miles of unpaved dusty, potholed road in which was also a big turnoff.
On 4/3/2026 my daughter and I rode the trail for a 21 mile ride starting at the north end of trail, at the Hampton Inn. It is hard to call this part of the trail a trail. We rode down someone’s driveway and along the edge of their yard. Then there was a mud path just wide enough for our tires with several large mud puddles. After the Swopes Valley Road parking area the trail is a wide crushed stone trail, a little rougher than a normal rail trail due to the fact that equestrians can use this part of the trail. After the pedestrian bridge the trail is smother. This trail would be a great trail to ride in the fall when the leaves are changing. The next time we ride this trail we will start at the Swopes Valley Road parking area and ride south to the Lickdale trailhead and have a picnic lunch or continue to the end of the trail to eat at Wendy’s or subway, maybe even get some ice cream.
Rode this trail so many times in my life and it never disappoints, a wonderful experience
This trail has been resurfaced and it totally makes a HUGE difference… thank you to all who got this done- I was able to ride 30 miles round trip on both trails all the way to the Root Beer Barrel and back. Bikers have no more worries going to the county line or further!
