If you have researched the GAP at all, you already know this was among the first trails inducted into the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy Hall of Fame. Many riders continue to go back to ride it again. That speaks volumes to the experience of riding this trail. If you are an end-to-end rider, and not a camper, you will need accommodations. I would like to highly recommend Cardinal's Roost B&B in Rockwood, PA. You will not find more amiable hosts than Jennifer and Chris. The accommodations are spotless, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The breakfast is out of a 5-star restaurant. They have a huge garage to store your bikes with plenty of space to do maintenance if need be. Jennifer and Chris are bicyclists themselves so they understand needs of cyclists. If passing through Rockwood on the GAP or just enjoying the beautiful scenery, you cannot go wrong with Cardinal’s Roost.
Well maintained and cool on hot days. Watch for signs to see the covered bridge and stream just off the trail. Plant off stopping points along the trail with picnic tables and benches. We ride this trail 2 to 3 times a week.
I used to frequent this trail for the views. One of the most beautiful Pittsburgh sunrises can be seen from the edge of Washington landings. Well I recently went back and the area just didn’t seem too biker friendly anymore. It seems like the rocks and gravel have tripled. You have to take a very slow and methodical pace to complete this loop. Please be careful when going to Washington Landing
Came up from Wheeling. We did this trail to the finish as it was only a few miles before the end and turnaround. About half the time on the street. But the town had good signage and what was very impressive was yellow lines on the road! I wish more towns would do that. Older trail and some bumps but I was impressed by the markings. Not very busy on the streets so safe for riding.
Unique way to experience the water, rail, industrial, sport, and cityscape of Pittsburgh. Numerous homeless camping out in several places along the trail was only drawback.
Overall a nice ride. Great little bike shop called Donna’s Bike shop in Lisbon. Very shaded trail but not a lot to see, would be nice if there were some places near river to pull off on a hot day. Rode the entire trail from Lisbon to the other side of Leetonia, which is kinda a creepy town. Only people we seen were other bikers riding the trail. Did see some cows relaxing in the shade near the bikers fence. I will agree with another reviewer, dangerous intersections, people fly down the road with no care to the people on trail and many crossing are on main roads with poor visibility. Be careful
Nice for walking and biking. I’m glad they have a paved and off-road option. If you split off from the paved trail, you can find your way to the river front. The abandoned buildings do have squatters so I would recommend staying on the paved trail if you are by yourself. There are pull up bars and exercise stations throughout the paved course as well.
We ( recumbent trike & e-bike) headed West from the Kiwanis park. Turned around after 9km as the surface was really tough on the trike. There’s 2 good wheel tracks for bikes, but the trike had to ride partially in the coarse trail ballast. Scenic area with farm views and a huge windmill farm in the distance.
I headed out of Pittsburgh Point State Park 8/6/2024 for a day ride to Homestead and back. I quickly ran into large homeless encampments along the Three Rivers Heritage Trail portion of the GAP. No one approached me but the trash, the smell of urine and tents almost on the trail were discouraging and I ended my ride and drove home. I might suggest anyone planning to ride that section of the GAP check the current conditions before proceeding. From what I found online once I got home was that it does not appear to be a short term problem. Other riders have commented on open drug use and the concern for unleashed dogs. I could not find a go around from local riders’ comments.
While I thought it was very pretty and relaxing, while walking with my friend on the trail we came across some spots in the bridges that had holes that you could see through to the ground. Also the boards were very weak and one of the bridges made a loud creaking sound like if it could fall down. I just don't want anyone to get hurt so hopefully someone will fix these issues. Otherwise the area is pretty.
Our annual Summer ride on this trail. We commute approx 90 minutes to get to. Parked in Lisbon and biked up to Washingtonville and back for a 25 mile round trip. Slight uphill grade from South to North. A majority of this trail is very well shaded and that helps on a hot and sunny summer day. Trail also passes through a few open farmlands. In Leetonia, mile 10, take the brick road through town to reconnect the trail at mile marker 11. New splash pad park in Leetonia. Just of the trail by gravel path are the historic Cherry Coke Beehive Ovens. We missed stopping there the past few years and it's really getting overgrown and some of the ovens are deteriorating. Always an enjoyable annual ride on this trail.
