Biking Trails-General Region-Community Based Pennsylvania Super Trails

There are a vast number of trails in Pennsylvaina for hiking, biking and backpacking enthusiasts. We could not cover them all as trails are always in transition, a state of ever lasting change. New trails are formed, old ones are added on to and it is difficult to address the whole state.

If you have trail information, please share it wih us as we freely share our information with you. We will keep the pages as updated as possible and with your help, everyone can enjoy and benefit.

This includes a total number of Open Rail Trails: 95. There are 968.6 miles of open trail, 101.5 miles under construction, and 654 miles in proposal phase. "Contained in this web site is information on Rails-Trails open to the public, under construction, and proposed. DCNR will periodically update this site as information comes into us from our many trail partners." ... DCNR
In the near future all trails included in the Rails-to-Trails projects will carry the DCNR insignia

Cycling the Southern Alleghenies -on-road routes include 20 individual tour routes with names such as Raging Rapids Adventure Tour, Covered Bridge Scenic Tour, and Tuscarora Mountain Challenge Tour that travel through the region nestled in the Allegheny Mountains. The routes can each be ridden individually in a day, or can be combined for a multiple day bicycling vacation. Cycling the Southern Alleghenies also offers over 25 off-road self-guided routes for the nature lover in you. From beginner to advanced, you'll find the terrain that fits your ability, right in the middle of the beautiful state of Pennsylvania.

Biking in our forest areas:

Mountain biking has increased in popularity so much that it's not uncommon to see bikers during all seasons. And biking has become an all season sport in the Atlantic and southern mid-western states.

Biking the Allegheny National Forest: Most trails including snowmobile trails, general open roads and gated roads are available for use by mountain bikers. ATV trails are best suited for expert or extreme riding; many will find them too rough for riding. The ANF has over 600 miles of trail where bikes are allowed, but in actuality, many segments of ANF trails, even though open for bike use, do not provide a high quality experience for bikers. The snowmobile routes provide a scenic ride, but for the more adventurous, purchase the administrative map at any Ranger District office, and plan your own trail experience.

Regulations of the Allegheny National Forest: Biking is allowed in most places on the ANF where a Forest Service travelway exists - for example, trails, gated roads, and open roads. Respect the rights of private landowners of travelways, and obtain permission prior to using these private roads.

The best biking experiences on gated Forest Service roads, however you may use the four developed ATV trails during the off-season, because the developed tread and comfortable turning radius provide an easier ride. The off-season (when the ATV Trails are closed to motorized use) is April 1 to the Thursday before Memorial Day weekend, and September 24 to December 20 of each year. Of course, you can ride mountain bikes when the ATV Trails are open, but expect to frequently encounter ATVs on the trails.

Camping is permitted in most areas of the Allegheny National Forest except on the shores and within 1500 feet inland of the timberline around the Allegheny Reservoir, except in areas developed or designated for such use. In addition, no camping will be allowed within Jakes Rocks, Rimrock and Old State Road Recreation Areas; within 1500 feet either side of the center line of Allegheny Reservoir Scenic Drive and the main access roads into Jakes Rocks, Rimrock and Old State Road Recreation Areas; within 1500 feet either side of the main channel of Kinzua Creek from Red Bridge upstream to Mead Run; along FR 131 near Loleta; Duhring area near Spring Creek; and Hearts Content and Tionesta Scenic Areas.

Biking is prohibited only in the Hickory Creek Wilderness, Hearts Content and Tionesta Scenic Areas, Tionesta Natural Area, the Allegheny National Recreation Area east of the Reservoir, Laurel Mill Cross County Ski Trail and the propagation area of the Buzzard Swamp Wildlife Management Area. These prohibitions are necessary for these few areas because of resource management objectives. A few examples: 1) the objective of the Hickory Creek Wilderness is to provide a primitive recreation experience and the presence of bicycles is incompatible with this objective; 2) the objective of the propagation area of the Buzzard Swamp Wildlife Management Area is to provide an area free of human disturbance for wildlife to use, and the presence of bikes again conflicts with this objective.

Biking Elk State Forest:

There is no trail system open to or designated for bicycles, but there are hundreds of miles to ride. Bicycles are permitted on all roads open to the public. Also, all gated roads with the exception of those newly seeded and those in natural wilderness areas may be used by cyclists. For those who prefer the forests, bycycling is not restricted with the exception of where degradtion would oocur such as in wet areas, steep hillsides and food plots.

ANF Forests Notes:

There is a network of over 50 trails in the Allegheny National Forest . For a complete up to date trail condition report in *pdf format, please click here.

There are over 600 campsites, 6 boat launches, 6 canoe access sites, 2 nationally designated wildernesses and many miles of hiking, snowmobiling and ATV trails. Download recreation map of the entire Allegheny Forest Region for Campgrounds, Trails, Rec Areas

For Safe Biking:

The skill level of all trails vary, and you should be in good health to enjoy them.
Bike with at least one other person and to leave your itinerary with friends so they'll know where to look if you don't return on time or need assistance.
Practice safe biking, wear a helmet. The state of Pennsylvania requires those 12 and under wear protective head gear.
For trails open for winter biking: Remember to dress in layers appropriate for the weather conditions.
Many trails are used heavily in the late fall and spring by hunters. Wear bright fluorescent colored clothing if biking during these time periods.
Remember the off-road rules of the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA): Ride On Trails Only; Leave No Trace; Control Your Bicycle; Always Yield; Never Spook Animals; and Plan Ahead.
Practice "No Trace" ethics - pack it in, pack it out. For sanitary disposal of wastes, dig a pit on flat ground at least 6 inches deep and at least 200 feet from water.
Water from any source should be boiled before consumption, as water is not tested or treated for drinking.
Please report any unsafe trail conditions such as downed trees and missing signs or trail markers directly to the nearest Ranger District.

Please note:
Many trail systems are very extensive (5+) and take a large amount of space to list each one individually. For those trail systems marked as extensive trail system, please download the accompanying trail information in *.pdf format for trail description, length, name, and trailhead location (if available.) In this way, you can have all the complete trail information for that park without shortcuts or abbreviations used to conserve space. If you do not have adobe acrobat reader, please click here

Trails in *pdf format can be downloaded alone or with the complete park information (bigger file not good for dial-ups.). Maps are marked in BOLD font and downloaded individually in *.pdf format.
