Franklin to Brandon and back, always an enjoyable ride on this trail. Beautiful views of the Allegheny River. Water levels are down from last month when we had so much rain. Trail gates recently painted look great!
The Brady Tunnel opened Fall 2024 following renovation. Very dark inside (due to its doors) so you need a light. Trail closure at mile marker 55 at Mahoning Creek (since April 2025) You can detour by using nearby road, road bridge and grass path to reconnect to the trail. We parked at the Redbank trailhead on Redbank Road, just past St. Marys Redbank church. This is the intersection of Redbank Tr mile 0 and the Armstrong Tr approx mile 63. Trail surface is crushed limestone. Some of it very well packed down, some of it washed away leaving nothing but packed dirt, and some of the trail is double tracked. We didn't have any trouble on our hybrids. We went South to Mahoning and turned around and up to the Brady Tunnel passing the Redbank Coaling Tower. We went though the tunnel and continued approx 5 miles through the Sarah Furnace area. We also went towards East Brady passed the Phillipston turntable. Nearest trail services are in East Brady, otherwise you're on your own. Trail mostly shaded, follows the Allegheny River. Very peaceful., scenic and historic. See photos. Our next plan is to ride another segment of the trail.
The trail is crushed gravel smooth in some spots very picturesque views from the island.From April to October Red Fin Blue is open a great restaurant on the island I normally park my car in a designated paved lot on the island then I cross the bridge and bike towards Pittsburgh along the Allegheny River Trail. No bathrooms located near the parking ¿¿ lot which is free …¿¿¿¿
One of my favorite trails in this region I start the trail at the trails northern most end point,south of US 322 bridge.Along the trail there are some camp sites along the Allegheny River near the ending parking lot .The entire trail is paved but be aware of crossing wildlife and bumps along the trail surface.Depending how far you plan on riding plan accordingly pack snacks,drinks and knowledge of changing a inner tube if you get a flat tire wouldn’t hurt either. Be more AWARE of people on E Bicycles they don’t seem to pay attention to regular bicycles on the trail …Matt¿¿¿¿
Very nice trail. Asphalt in great condition, except from Mc Donald to Falls Mills which was decent crushed limestone. Grades were very gentle, all1% or less. On a Monday we passed someone running or biking every 5-10 min. Overall a great experience

River flowing good since recent rains. Biked from Franklin to Sunnyslope and back, 12.5 miles each way for a 25 mile round trip. Not much shade.
Aside from there not being a place to grab a bite close by in Washingtonville (ended up at Fat Ted’s which closes at 2) this was a good choice for a high 80s day. Lots of shade and beautiful. Could use better trail markings in Leetonia where we needed help finding the trail.
Decent trail in PA. Ohio needs some work. They are replacing the section in lowellville
Surprised to find the closure over the Mahoning Creek just north of Templeton. Looks like it has been that way for a while despite a recent review not mentioning it. No detour posted.
Riding on this was a bucket list trail. Had hoped to ride further on it but had time restraints. Great trail. The rest stop in Meyersdale is wonderful. Plan someday to return and ride more of it.
