We accessed this trail in Franklin where the Allegheny River Trail ends. Seamless connection offers an additional 7 miles from Franklin to Oil City. Flat rail trail, paved, follows the Allegheny River. Historic signs and sights along the way. A little bit of shaded areas.
We are camping at Lampe and can travel West or South on this trail along the Bayfront. Going WEST, the is currently a lot of construction, but when done should be a nice improvement. I like this western part as it travels along the bayfront and around Frontier park. Many good sights and watering holes. Sloppy Duck one of them. It also connects via a marked bike path to Presque Isle Drive to the beautiful 13 plus paved trail around the Peninsula.
Now, leaving the campground and heading south towards Behrend Campus is a different story. The first 2 or 3 miles is through the eastern part of the city. Traffic noise as you're right adjacent to the Bayfront highway. You will see a lot of decay from past industries. The trail itself is littered with trash and weed growth. Today, I was passed by two gas powered motorcycles, like dirt bikes going at a high rate of speed. There is little to no law enforcement. And no upkeep. I have encountered broken glass and drug paraphernalia in the past amongst the trash. About 3 miles out the trail leaves the jurisdiction of Erie and once into Millcreek becomes very nice and well maintained. Erie is a bike friendly town and does a great job with their bike trails other than this section going south from the bayfront to about 38th street. This section goes through an urban rundown area and is completely neglected.
Foxburg to Parker detached section is paved and 2.5 miles in length. Parking at each end. This section is very well shaded, trail conditions: a few roots sprouting up in the asphalt. Trail services in Foxburg include places to eat. Trail services in Parker which is a commute by road across the bridge, there is a place to eat. Enjoy the shade!
Everything south of Simmons road is spectacular. North of Simmons rd however has very minimal maintenance and do not recommend.
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!
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.
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¿¿¿¿
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.
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.
River flowing good since recent rains. Biked from Franklin to Sunnyslope and back, 12.5 miles each way for a 25 mile round trip. Not much shade.
