Airbnb right on trail in Burgettstown

June, 2026 by dowiakp

Discovered this comfortable place with great accommodations for two bike travelers. They offer a pullout sofa if you do not wish to share a bed. Indoor bike storage with a comfy bed and a hot shower! Distillery right next-door and two restaurants to fuel up in the morning to get back on the trail. Close to the panhandle of West Virginia. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven on Airbnb.

E Bikes....

May, 2026 by rudytoot99

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.

Washington and Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park (W&OD)

bottom half of the trail

May, 2026 by aldo_desalvo

This is one of the nicest trails out there. Lots of elevations changes and a nice brewery ( caboose brewery) along the way. I did the upper end a few weeks before and the lower end later. Lots of rest stops and bathrooms. Nice towns until you get to the dc area and it all looks the same.

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

great!

May, 2026 by nature.lover.3

First time with my new bike! It was a cool morning so hardly anyone out….and then the afternoon came. Kids. Dogs. Ugh. But all good. It was a super fun ride. In the beginning some of the asphalt buckles or tree roots lifting it up so you will feel the bumps

Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail

A premier trail in PA

May, 2026 by tim.deardorff

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

Capital Crescent Trail

good trail

April, 2026 by aldo_desalvo

The part in the city is pretty boring. You get a nice tunnel and an old rail bridge. The surface is paved and has a few root issues. Most of the path is shaded. 5 stars
