They had a ceremonial opening from Wellsboro Junction into Wellsboro today. Only allowed one day to explore the new section then closed for a couple of weeks to complete construction of a fence between the trail and the still active rail line.
We had a beautiful morning on this great trail! It started off cool( in the high 40s) but warmed nicely by noon. Watched some trout being stocked in the river on our way back to the car. I’m looking forward to coming back and seeing more of this area.
Rode out 11 miles from Emporium toward St. Mary's (~22 miles RT). Beautiful scenery once you get out town. Several interpretive signs explaining the environment and history of the area. The trail is surface is mostly packed crush stone and is well maintained. Would definitely do this one again.
Parking behind a string of stores and back always next to an environmental facility. BEWARE recumbent/trike riders or anyone who doesn’t like hills. There is a hill in the beginning of this trail and we were exhausted walking up. Then the bumps started. We eventually turned around after about a mile and then the hill. Actually the surroundings are appealing. Now if some agency had the money and could maintain the trail it would be great.
Rode from Watkins Glen to the South end of Montour Falls. Map posted online is terrible. Trail is poorly marked. Several points between crushed stone path and paved public roads had no trail markings. Initial section from South end of WG is just a green tunnel. Nothing to see. Too much parking lot, highway, industrial area, downtown streets. Crushed stone section was well maintained.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
