Parked at the trailhead parking lot in Emlenton. You must drive down the bike trail about 500 feet and parking is on the right. The actual trail starts at Main Street and 8th Street at the Post Office Parking lot but trail parking is down the trail a bit. We rode 11 miles out and 11 miles back and I would say that 10 of the 11 miles are very bumpy. I ride an all steel Surly with 29x2 tires and this ride was rough. I would not recommend riding this part of the trail on a road bike with narrow tires. Although it was early September a lot a leaves covered the trail so seeing bumps and root-heaves was impossible, even going less than 10mph. Two downed trees were across the trail but easily rode around them. On a positive note, the trail is easy to find, there is ample parking, the trail is flat and very scenic as it parallels the Allegheny River the entire time. There are many nice private properties along the way and some benches occasionally, but those could be private as well. There were two porta-john toilets at the trailhead parking lot. Had the trail been smooth it would have been a great ride but this was one that I was glad when it was done. Oh yeah, the tunnel, about 4 miles from trailhead, is long and dark and at the very beginning, had a lot of water coming in from the ceiling, even though it was a very sunny day. Make sure to take a light with you. We only encountered one tunnel in the first 11 miles but there are more further on.
It's been a few months so we thought we'd bike ride the Foxburg to Parker section of the trail. This section is 2.5 miles in length and detached from the remainder of the trail. Since our last visit the roots pushing up the asphalt pavement have really increased and it was a lot worse than our last ride. It was mostly a rough ride.
Rode this trail yesterday, 8/29/26. Second visit to this trail. Kudos to the folks that were involved in the trail creation, and to those who maintain it. Totally paved, a variety of scenery, plenty of port-a-potties and benches, and just a fun, flat trail. Finish your day with a cold brew at Inn the Wilds with pizza! Life is good.
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
No Asphalt

Biked on the Samuel Justus Trail and used this trail to access the McClintock Trail.
Group ride. We parked in Franklin and biked South to Sunnyslope for 12.5 miles and back. This is the best section of the trail since everything from Kennerdell tunnel and South is like a washboard. 3.25 miles South of Franklin there is a hillside erosion and caution tape, since April 2026. Follow along the trail and go through the grass.
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.
Nice smooth, basically flat trail. Many benches to take a break if needed.
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!
