New Trail Reviews

Easy parking at west end, biked the 8.5 miles to the east end and enjoyed a yoghurt bowl from TCBY in west Ashley before heading back! There are numerous street crossings that are well marked for safety and intermittent shade along the way s well as resting benches.

So many amazing trails! In-line skated the entire island and had fun using my skates to commute everywhere. I definitely recommend and will do it again ¿ trail quality was surprisingly pretty good and I loved the jungle atmosphere.

My friend and I were biking down the northhaven trail and ended up going onto this trail. Immediately we felt unsafe as there was trash and homeless people along the sides. We kept going hoping it would clear up but as we passed two homeless men one of them jumped at me, trying to grab me off my bike. Thankfully he didn’t reach me in time but started to run after me. He proceeded to bark and growl while doing this. I have never been more scared for my safety. We found the closest exit and immediately got off the trail. Was very disappointed and will NEVER go back.

Well it has been 5 years since my last review and a couple years since riding the Grand Junction portion of the trail (I ride the Fruita to Loma end frequently). The city has made some great improvements. Widening the trail with new concrete, replacing the black top sections. Also have done some major clearing of brush along the trail and riverside. All making the ride even better. Stopped at the connection to Eagle Rim Park. They even now have a Zip Line from the park down to Los Colonias. Great Improvements.

Rode most of the trail yesterday starting in Railroad, PA on the Heritage Trail and turned around at the old train station in Monkton, MD. Temperature was in the mid-80s, and humidity was high. Because most of the trail was shaded, it was still a great ride. Definitely not a trail for narrow road tires, but still an excellent surface of crushed stone and hard packed dirt. Plenty of restrooms and stops available. Slightly downhill starting in New Freedom, PA into MD for about 6-7 miles and then a typical rail trail of mostly flat and straight sections. Great scenery of wooded areas. Highly recommend for a relaxing ride in the woods.

Great trail close to my home so I get to ride it as often as I want. I’m looking forward to another leg being completed and hoping it doesn’t take 10 years. I took my 9 year old twin grand sons on it and they love it too.

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.

We spent three days riding this trail. It was an absolutely beautiful ride with lots of bridges and two tunnels. It's mostly flat with plenty of shade on a hot summer day. Lots of photo opportunities.

Stopped by and rode part of this trail while on a trip to Florida. What an awesome trail. Most of our trails in Florida are paved so I was a little hesitant of the gravel but it was no problem. Huge rock bluffs, the river, wineries breweries and eating establishments, it’s awesome, who could ask for more. Rode 23 miles from Defiance to Marthasville for lunch and back. We’ll be back to do more in the future!!

The Mendota Trail is a lovely extension of Rails-to-Trails! The original track route was built to haul coal. Today this trail provides scenic views from 17 trestles in 12.5 miles! The swinging bridge is my favorite part, but there is a parallel path that goes over a solid trestle for those who want something solid under their feet. My brother (a retired physician), bought several properties to secure the right-of-way for the trail. When some sections were contested, he stuck with it.

As of 7/9/25, the Humboldt bay trail has been extended to connect to the Eureka waterfront trail. We started at the Larson Park parking lot and headed south. It took about 10 minutes to get through the city part of Arcata with many street crossings. After that, it was clear sailing all the way to Eureka. We turned back at 10 miles but I believe the trail connects to the waterfront trail. Great ride.

I started in Mendota based on other’s recommendations. It was a gorgeous scenic ride thru the forest along the river and 18 bridge crossings. Highly recommend this trail!

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.

Very short walk but very even, no hills. Bring bug spray! Also Cooley road entry is very hard to see with car, be careful! I recommend parking on the opposite road.

First, it states on here that no e-bikes are allowed. One of the staff at the campground we were staying, said she sees e-bikes on it all the time. So, we took our chances. Yes, there are several signs stating no e-bikes. We kept our speed around 10 mph, and always pedaled. Very peaceful and beautiful trail. We saw a coyote and a deer. Riding along the shoreline of the river was serene.
