THE ROUTE

A crushed‑limestone ribbon through the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon

The Pine Creek Rail Trail follows a converted railbed along the floor of the canyon on a very gentle grade and a flat, compacted crushed‑limestone surface, making for easy, scenic pedaling.

THE FLEET

Bikes for every rider — from kids to electric upgrades

Pine Creek Outfitters rents cruisers, hybrids, mountain bikes, youth and kids models, and offers electric bikes as an upgrade for qualified riders, so you can match the machine to the day’s plan.

THE OPTIONS

Short waterfall loops or one‑way canyon runs

Choose an easy 10‑mile round‑trip to Turkey Path and its waterfalls for a 2–3 hour outing, or a longer 17‑mile one‑way canyon ride to Blackwell that requires a shuttle at the end.

What the day feels like

What a rental day feels like

You’ll pick a comfortable upright bike designed for the flat, crushed‑limestone trail and ride at easy pace through wooded canyon walls and river vistas. Short outings let you pedal a few miles to the Turkey Path waterfalls and return the same day; longer canyon runs can be one‑way with a shuttle arranged at the far end.
