D&L Trail

Big Boy 4014 6/13/26

June, 2026 by terryl30

Today has been a rail trail rail fan dream come true. I rode through the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania on the D&L rail trail. To top off the beauty of this area I also got to see up close the historic Union Pacific “Big Boy” 4014. She’s been traversing the country commemorating the 250 birthday of our nation. Needless to say I’ve had my bit of heaven on earth today.

Five Star Trail

Did not enjoy

June, 2026 by xoknighthawks

The surface is good compacted gravel but other than that, the trail is just not enjoyable. We saw what appeared to be two homeless tents set up along the railroad tracks which run beside the trail and the trail itself runs through areas that are just not nice. A portion of this trail is on a road but has a bike lane appropriately marked.

Pymatuning State Park Spillway Trail

Allegheny River Trail

Was once great.

June, 2026 by mikewallach

The southern half of the trail is virtually unrideable. Tree roots have pushed up the asphalt making the ride jarring to the point of dangerous.
Trail managers: Please, please, please stop paving trails.

Struble Trail

great short trail

June, 2026 by dalderfer

Very pretty, flat trail. Suggest parking in the lot in Downingtown and following the trail then connecting to the Uwchlan Trail and back. Eagles nest was seen here-multiple photographers out taking photos. Nice memorial site at the beginning-nice place to sit and reflect with beautiful trees. Very pleasant trail.

Upper Bucks Rail Trail

nice easy trail

June, 2026 by dalderfer

We parked at Veteran's park in Richland Twp (trail starts near the flagpole/handicapped parking area behind the baseball fields) and rode this trail that connected seamlessly with the Saucon Rail-Trail about 6.6 miles out to DeSales University and back. E-bike friendly, dog friendly. Would only use a jogging stroller with sturdy wheels. One minute you are in a shady tree lined area with big boulders then suddenly on a short but cute boardwalk to cross a marshy area. Kept it interesting. Few easy road crossings along the way. Relaxing and beautiful ride. So glad for this addition to my community

D&L Trail

White Haven to Black Diamond Trailhead

June, 2026 by sees

Jennifer and I rode the section north of White Haven to Black Diamond Trailhead and then turned around and rode back White Haven on 6/5/2026 for a 21.8-mile ride. If you like to ride thru the woods this section of the trail is a good section for that it is also is a good ride on a hot sunny day, lots of shade. We did not like the parts where there were only 2 dirt paths with grass between them. There is an increase in elevation of approx. 638 feet, to us it was a noticeable grade, it did the return trip more enjoyable. We will ride this section of the trail again.

Ghost Town Trail

Ghost Town Trail 22 Mile Loop CCW

June, 2026 by bikin-mike

Great ride on the 22 mile loop using the new 2 mile C&I Extension piece in Nanty Glo.

Parked at Vintondale and did the eastbound uphill along the creek to Nanty Glo. Very pretty scenery. Washouts have been repaired and only a few spots with some larger gravel.

Nice ice cream and food place just north of the trail on 1st St in Nanty Glo. Delicious Chili Cheese Dog and fresh cut fries just like at the fair. So glad they opened about 3 yrs ago. Only other option I could see for food was a grocery store about 1/4 mile south across the river on Shoemaker St. Make sure you fuel up here. No other amenities on the rest of the ride.

Google Maps doesn’t show the new 2 mile extension yet. Best map I’ve found is at Cambria County Conservation. See 22 miles map.

https://www.cambriaconservationrecreation.com/ghost-town-trail/

Just past the ballpark on the east side of Nanty Glo turn left on Ricky Rd then an immediate right on 2nd St, bear right on Springfield, up a small hill on Springfield and a sharp turn and there’s the C&I trailhead. Do NOT go up 2nd St. The trail crosses 2nd St on a bridge and there is no access. A sign on the main trail by the ballpark and another on 2nd pointing to Springfield would be a big help!

The highest elevation on the extension is the bridge over 422. After that it’s mostly flat or downhill along the North Branch of Blacklick Creek. On this late May day there was a nice water flow and the sound of water cascading over rocks was a wonderful soundtrack for my ride.

I also did the 2 miles to Duman Lake Park. I guess it’s not an official part of the GTT, but it has a couple signs marking the way. First 1/2 mile or so was old railroad spur with some bumps and dirt spots. Sign says turn left and the next couple hundred feet were 1/2 inch gravel. Not fun. Almost turned around, but then a couple folks came through on E-bikes and said it’s kind of fun. Next was a 50ft long narrow rusty metal bridge across a creek. Only about 2ft wide - sure glad it had railings. Next was single track hard packed dirt thru a dense forest along the creek with lots of twists and turns. Nice change of pace. Mountain bike tires might have been better, but my hybrid 700x38C tires did just fine. Might not be fun when it’s wet. Finally, back to a 10ft wide screenings trail downhill to the park.
