Bike the Pine Creek Trail in the Grand Canyon of PA

Bike Grand Canyon of PA on the Pine Creek Rail Trail

Join us on Saturday, September 17, for a one-day bike trip of 29 miles through the "Grand Canyon" of PA," considered the most beautiful stretch of the 62-mile-long Pine Creek Rail Trail in north central Pennsylvania.

We will meet at the parking lot of the trail access point in Slate Run at 9:15 a.m., where we will leave our vehicles and be shuttled with your bike to our starting destination at the Ansonia/Marsh Creek trail access point .

At trip completion, we'll stop at Hotel Manor in Slate Run and relax on their deck overlooking Pine Creek while enjoying food, liquid refreshment, and the camaraderie of your fellow bikers.

• Difficulty Rating: Easy, level grade, crushed gravel bike path.
• Helmets are required.
• Plan on a 4-5 hour leisurely pedal with stops for scenic attractions, ice cream, et al.
• Slate Run is approximately a 2.5-hour drive from Apalachin.
