Summary:
This is my training ride when I can't get out to other trails, during the week. It's an excellent opportunity to spin in the big ring without having to deal with traffic, dogs and the occasional bass boat being pulled behind a pick-up along the shoulder of the road. One does have to look out for the deer and turkies once you get past route 22. It's a well built and wonderfully maintained rail-trail with some opportunities for singletrack riding spurring off from the main trail. There is some local history with remnants of the railroad, the mines and their tailings and an occasional defunct oil rig. The trail association does a great job and their folks are very friendly and informative. The local trail-users, however, are the most unfriendly bunch of poopy-heads that I have ever seen! People: take the time to say "Hello" to those you meet, pass and see! It's really not that scarey. In other places, when two like-minded atheletes pass each other (runners, walkes, cyclists) there is always a wave and and a smile, even if they are both working hard to get up or down the trail. You are on a rail-trail in Pittsburgh, people, how serious can that be? Lighten-up and enjoy the trail, the views and the folks around you.

Recommended Route:
Coraopolis to the other end and back - about 34 miles.

Summary:
Many trail lots to choose from. Park anywhere from Corapolis and along trail to Boggs which is the trail end at this time. Will eventually connect to Cecil which is another section of finished trail. The slight upgrade which continues for at least 1 mile at the end of the trail to Boggs (if you started at Coraopolis) is a great section of the trail. Going back is even better.
From Coraopolis trail has several road crossings which seem to be getting busier. Interesting scenery as trail passes through business area where workers walk, then newly developing homesites, on to less developed wooded areas. Creek along trail is heavily fished during trout season. Has railroad tunnel that recently had lighting added. Great addition. Easy ride. Fun for all family members. Watch for walkers and dogs! Be careful at crossings.

Recommended Route:
Park along Montour Run if you take Montour Exit off Parway West. Many lots to choose from - easily accessible. 9 miles of trail from Coraopolis to Boggs.

Yough trail from Connellsville to Ohiopyle is a nice day trip.

Summary:
The rail-trail is fun if you're really young or really old. The Brother's Grimm singletrack area near the Coraopolis end of the trail used to be rad, but Kaufmanns's dept. store took care of that.

Recommended Route:
Parkway to Montour Run exit. Park in office park or at Wickes Furniture.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Do yourself a favor and take to rail trail towards Clinton until you hit the crazy 6-way intersection. Take Enlo Road all the way for some great riding in the Clinto area.

Summary:
I know the upper part of the trail closer to the airport is great for riding the trails up there are really cool.

Recommended Route:
I think that this trail has alot to offer but But they need to have the singletrack trails marked alittle more. I know the last time I was out there it wasnt marked to well. But its a great trail any way.....
