Lackawanna Rail Trail

Nice afternoon ride

August, 2025 by escdvm

Looking for a relatively close ride to our home in upstate PA and found the Lackawanna trail just north of Elmira. Eldridge park parking lot was very easy and convenient. Wegman's grocery parking lot was ok also but very busy. Signage to the trail was not well marked at intersections or along the route. We counted 4 or 5 piles of clothes and sleeping bags and garbage from homeless residents in the area along the first 1/3 of the route. lots of graffiti on signs in the parks along the way. trail was not well maintained in the city area but once in the forested area it was beautiful. lots of birds along the river. road noise along the highway was well muted by the trees and not really observable as the trail was "below it". Southern endpoint was not easily found or visible. only 3 spots and one handicap spot available. No signage at all--glad to have the Trail link maps. All flat and no challenging spots on the route at all on the pavement except for tree routes near the beginning heaving up the ashpalt.

Susquehanna River Walk & Timber Trail

Susquehanna River walk and Timber Trail PA--A great afternoon excursion

August, 2025 by escdvm

We were looking for an afternoon on the bikes and found this great trail. The Parking lots are very well marked and plenty of spaces to leave the car. Entire trail is well groomed asphalt. Very small amount of plastic bags/bottles but otherwise very clean. Beautiful ride along the Susquehanna river! Yes it was along the highway also, but the river was a great distraction. some Canada geese, a Coramont but no ducks. Bridge crossings were a little challenging but short uphills and very well marked to get back to the trail. Only complaint was that there were no {marked} restrooms along the route. We took advice from another reviewer and did a small loop at the South end of the trail in a residential park of South Williamsport. Beautiful park with a very clean restroom facility. After completing the route, we doubled back from the south parking lot and took the Market street bridge back to the north parking lot to complete the ride. Really enjoyed this.

Catharine Valley Trail

Another one checked off

August, 2025 by katherine30

Driving across NY, wanted an exercise break, & got to see a Finger Lake . This rails to trail reminds one of the variety one can expect to see across the broader network of trails. If one parks at the southern end in Horsehead just off of interstate 86, it is really 27 miles up & back. The northern end is at Lake Seneca and Watkins’s Glen - a fun town with lots of little cafes and interesting stores. Along the way, one can see a beautiful waterfall, pretty churches, a canal, decrepit buildings, forests and marshes. Biking surfaces are definitely varied (grass, dirt, gravel, pavement, bridges) and depending on wetness, better done on tires with better treads. E-bikes were perfect on a moist day. My husband would have been happier if we had driven to a further north trailhead to reduce mileage and take up less time.

Catharine Valley Trail

Ok, but not worth the trip

August, 2025 by cledney

We did the trail on a trip to the Finger Lakes. The trail surface was terrible. Evidently, someone decided that the trail surface needed some TLC. The problem was that the remedy was worse than the previous condition. I would describe riding the trail like riding an existing railroad bed with the ties inplace and a layer of talc on top. And that's with a gravel bike with 2.2" tires. When I got back to the car, there were 2 other riders loading their bikes and they both said how they had to turn around because the trail was so bad. The scenery wasn't anything special and there was constant noise from cars on highway 14 which paralleled the trail. Signage was also poor and there were numerous times that you weren't sure where the trail was. All in all not the worst trail but don't think I would ever come back.

Lackawanna Rail Trail

great amount of shade

July, 2025 by theajean11

My fiancé and I enjoy biking . We start in lowman . This trail is in great shape and offers great shade from the sun . We rest on the bench when we want to. The interstate is beside the trail but in great company it’s easy to forget it’s even there

Catharine Valley Trail

ordinaire

July, 2025 by jojo.rivest

En fait, la surface est inégale pour le vélo, parfois poussière de roche, parfois gazon, parfois gravier. Le sentier est mal indiqué lorsqu’on part de Watkins Glen. Et la fin s’arrête brusquement. Sans moyen autre que la route pour accéder au village de horsehead et restos du coin.

Pine Creek Rail Trail

Jersey Shore

July, 2025 by cpesotine

671 Rail Road St. Recreational Parking is a great place to park and Start your ride from the south end of Pine Creek Trail. GPS took down slow in town not as nice. I found this one about 2 mile in.

Pine Creek Rail Trail

Beautiful Trail

June, 2025 by zap26

This is a beautiful trail. The upper half is much more scenic than the second half. This was my second time doing the entire trail. I got a shuttle to Wellsboro from Pine Creek Outfitters and biked back to the trail head in Jersey Shore. I didn't stop as much as I thought I would and do some of the hikes. It was brutally hot today. I am glad I did this trail again, not in the rain (which happened last time). Don't think I need to redo it again; I would rather check out some other trails in PA first.

Pine Creek Rail Trail

October 2024 Fall Ride

October, 2024 by thekauz

Riding this trail in the fall when the leaf colors are at their best and early spring before the leaves come out are the best time to ride this trail. You get a great view of the hills and valleys as opposed to riding in green “tunnels”. That being said it’s a great trail to ride year round.

Catharine Valley Trail

A bit of everything

October, 2024 by jenkinsbeth

Enjoyed it - very shady and currently a lot of leaves down on much of the trail but a nice gravel ride. Some sections the trail was 1 ft wide and others 12 ft wide, some finely crushed cinder and some even grassy. Is a rail trail with gradual climb going south and a couple of fun little hills/bumps. Signage is a little confusing - we took the road one direction but found the trail coming back. Does require a couple of on road sections.

Pine Creek Rail Trail

Beautiful Ride

Took our electric bikes on this path and it did not disappoint!! Path is well maintained and the scenery is just terrific. Highly recommend.

Lackawanna Rail Trail

Not safe

September, 2024 by priestman

I have walked & biked this trail for 2 years now. Within the last month, I no longer feel safe on this trail. Certain areas are very overgrown with the bushes. Several homeless encampments have been set up at different areas of the trail. Too bad something nice can’t be maintained.
