Print Friendly MapAlso known as the Circleville to Penn State Bike Path, the Tudek/Circleville Bikeway is a paved shared-use path with multiple segments in the Ferguson Township. The main section of the trail runs from the State Game Lands at Sleepy Hollow Road to Blue Course Drive. There is a spur through Tudek Park from West Aaron Drive to Teaberry Lane and a second spur from Blue Course Drive to Radio Park. The Elementary School section of the trail stretches from the Radio Park Elementary School to Hillcrest Avenue. Half a mile of the trail is on the same former rail corridor as the Bellefonte Central Rail Trail, the old Buffalo Run, Bellefonte and Bald Eagle Railroad corridor.
At the dead end of Hillcrest Avenue by the edge of Penn State Golf Course, the trail connects to the Penn State West Campus Bike Path.
Parking and restrooms are available at Tom Tudek Memorial Park (400 Herman Dr, State College) and at Greenbriar Saybrook Park (1386 N Foxpointe Dr, State College).
This is more of a local commuter trail than a destination trail, but it's very nice nonetheless. This trail is just one small part of a large and growing network of off-street bicycle paths that make getting around the State College area by bicycle a relatively safe and pleasant experience. The trail connects the Penn State University campus (via the Penn State West Campus Bike Path) with the neighborhoods and commercial areas along North Atherton Street, Tudek Park, and the neighborhoods near Valley Vista Drive. Tudek is a large and very nice community park with its own small system of crushed-stone multi-use paths, picnic tables/shelters, sports fields, and other amenities.
The trail intersects with another bike path that runs parallel to nearly the whole length of Valley Vista Drive and Science Park Road which in turn connects to other bike paths serving a larger area around State College. The entire trail and connecting spur are paved with asphalt/concrete. The western end of the trail connects to a singletrack mountain biking trail that continues on through the Scotia Barrens (State Game Lands 176).
