The Nebraska/Kelletville Trace Trail is primitive and unimproved. The trail crosses several streams that do not have bridges including the southernmost Coon Creek which trail users must cross to reach the southern parking. The trail follows the scenic Tionesta Creek with lots of great scenery and fishing.
This rail trail is not open for biking, but is instead an unimproved hiking route.
The Nebraska/Kelletville Trace Trail runs between the Kelletville and Nebraska bridges along Tionesta Creek.
Parking is available at both ends of the trail, but it is a rough trek to reach the Nebraska Run Recreation Area, which lies on the opposite side of Coon Creek.
Really wouldn’t call this a bike trail. First of all, no signage marking trail. Found grass path and rode it a short distance only to find it dead ends into a stream and no way to cross. This is a beautiful area; too bad this trail isn’t maintained. It would be a great ride. We know the Nebraska bridge area well and don’t have any idea where the trail might be there. Not obvious and not marked in any way.
Walked on part yesterday. Wouldn’t want to walk on it when grasses grow tall. Too bad trail couldn’t be cleared because it is beautiful. Bald eagles flying down river. Found old bridge pier where road separated from railroad.
I searched all over the Nebraska and Kelletville ends of this trail, and there was nothing besides fire roads and fishing trails. Nothing that went more than a short distance, or followed a discernible ridge like a railroad bed.
