First time on this trail and the first bike packing trip for my daughter. The temps had dipped for the 2 days we were riding. We rode from Franklin to Emlenton and back. Camped near Franklin. The scenery is great, the trail grade is essentially flat. There are sections with tree root bumps that slows the pace a bit. The short gravel section is passable. There were a few branches on the trail that needed to be cleared to pass, most likely from the previous weather. All in all, a good ride.
I will change this if it posts. My first detailed review disappeared and didn't post.
I liked this trail. A little rough in spots. Had to take it slow. Views made it worth slowing down for.
Road the Kane Knox Trail starting in Kane down to DeYoung and back before taking a break and then doing the bit north to the current stopping point near the Kane Country Club.
The path is exceptionally maintained. Easily bikeable on any type of type of bike due to the surface being primarily asphalt.
The trail was lightly traveled for a Saturday so had no issues with traffic on the trail.
We made a stop at Country Pines Ice Cream Shop on the north stretch out of Kane for extremely good ice cream! Get a "kids" size, the prices are extremely reasonable for the large serving sizes.
Post the ~25 mile ride we went to Logyard Brewing in town for a great beer and snack.
Be warned: The trail, in spots, is entirely unmaintained aside from some lawn mowing. It's as if you are riding through a grass field. In other areas, the trail is entirely dirt and if it were wet / rained recently would be entirely unusible. If you are on a road bike or bike with more road focused tires, you may have difficulties.
We had gravel bikes or mountain bikes so the trails surface was not an issue and we did the entire trail from the south starting point up and back, with no issue and averaged around 10mph during our ride with minimal effort. We even extended about a 1/3 a mile beyond the end until we ran out of bikeable path.
The trail is a shared use trail and great for walkers/runners/horses.
We only saw a handful of people on a Saturday when we were out.
Ellicottville Brewing has a location along the trail in Happy Valley which is 6 miles from either end, right in the middle of the trail.
A great stop for some food or beverages if you want to break up your ride.
8/24/24 Arrived at trail head to discover the beginning is not well marked. Beginning of the trail is grass, crossed a field and then some ruts appeared. The trail is mowed and clear to the sides. Quickly arriving at a hard road it was an uphill of ruts and rocks. The trail ended at a hard road with no indication of the trail continuation. Speaking to a local we found traveling .9 mile to a stop sign and a right down a slope put us back on the trail, better described as a mountain bike trail. A farmer closed the trail section we traveled by highway. This could be a great trail with much attention to development.
We rode this trail from the Forest County line (at Blood Road) to Marienville and back. This section is 6.5 miles in length. Flat and paved for 6 miles of it, the last half-mile into Marienville is crushed limestone in very good condition. Most of the trail is very well shaded. The former train station in Marienville is a Pennsylvania Wilds Gift shop open daily. Near the trail in Marienville is a UK University Korner convenience store. They have water if needed, sandwiches, fruit and pizza. Found it to be very clean.
Great ride along the trail, August 2024. We parked at Farmington Twp. Park in Leeper, mile marker 13, and headed to the Forest County line at mile marker 20.5. We continued into Forest County on the Knox Kane Trail for and additional 6.5 miles to Marienville. Trail is asphalt paved in very good condition. Most of the trail is very well shaded, otherwise some open areas of farmlands.
An ABSOLUTELY beautiful trail! We are SO glad we listened to friends and have this a try. Well worth the hour+ drive from Clearfield! We'll be back!!
I tried this trail out of Brocton and besides the poor marking of the trail (it is not continuous and requires some traversing on pavement to find the next entrance) it is just not well maintained for cyclists. This is an amazing hiking trail but just not great for gravel bikes or rigid bikes with wide tires. I would come back and do this on a hardtail. Honestly with how much you have to trudge through chunky gravel and grass an E bike would be the best choice. If you’re looking for a fun gravel ride up to Chautauqua, just ride the roads they’re much more enjoyable.
First the cons: A roughie. A lot of undeveloped trail here. Need a mountain bike. No skinny tires here. Don`t travel alone on this the way I did. Lots of "close ones."
The pluses: Tremendous potential here. Beautiful area. A hats off to the individuals who are pioneering and working on this. HEROS in my book. No doubt at all. Get the money. Contact township, county officials, feds. Set up meetings with them. Get a good grant writer Get the $$.
