The Oil City Trail connects the Samuel Justus Recreation Trail and the McClintock Trail through the center of Oil City, Pennsylvania. The 2-mile walking and biking pathway runs along the Allegheny River and Oil Creek in Venango County. It mostly consists of on-street sections, but also includes off-street asphalt paths, and crosses two bridges, including a wooden railroad bridge. Trailheads with parking, restrooms and information can be found at the Oil City Marina at First Street & Wyllis Street on the South Side of town and at Justus Park, off Seneca Street on the North Side. The trail provides easy access to Oil City’s amenities, shopping & dining.
