Pine Creek Rail Trail

Sixty-two miles along the floor of Pine Creek Gorge, the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania, from Wellsboro Junction to Jersey Shore. The crushed stone surface and gentle grade let relaxed riders spend their attention on the cliffs and the creek rather than the pedals. Outfitters rent bikes and run shuttles from Ansonia to points such as Blackwell and Slate Run, so a group can ride a 17- or 28-mile section one way and be driven back. The gorge is remote between its small villages, so carry water and snacks and treat the full length as a multiday trip.
