There are plenty of amazing off-road trails to explore across Pennsylvania with an incredible amount of history to absorb along the way. Grab your bike and travel the roads less taken on some of the best gravel bike trails in PA for a scenic and adventurous ride. Join PA's Travel Newsletter 1. Ghost Town TrailCambria and Indiana CountiesAs a federally designated National Recreation Trail, the 46-mile Ghost Town Trail is simply spectacular, brimming with beautiful scenery and history. The gravel trail has an abundance of mountain streams, stands of rhododendrons, dozens of wildflower species, and riparian woodlands, along with numerous remnants of the coal mining and now abandoned coal-mining towns that attest to the area’s rich industrial history. Comprised of hard-packed limestone, the trail has an easy grade, promising a wonderful ride.2. McClintock TrailVenango CountyMcClintock TrailThe McClintock Trail is a unique 1.8-mile, graveled share-the-road on Waitz Road in Venango County. Hop on the trail at the McClintock Trailhead at McClintock Well #1, the oldest producing oil well in the world. Adjacent to the trail’s southern portion, you just might spy some slow-moving rail traffic of the Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad, a still active Class Three railroad.3. Union Canal TrailBerks CountyThe 6.5-mile Union Canal Trail is a one of the best gravel trails near Reading as you pedal along the Tulpehocken Creek, passing by remnants of Pennsylvania’s storied Union Canal. This 82-mile engineering marvel and its 93 locks connected the Schuylkill River in Reading to the Susquehanna River in Middletown creating a means to ship coal and lumber from inland Pennsylvania to Philadelphia. The crushed gravel trail is an easy ride and takes you right past the Berks County Heritage Center where you’ll find the Gruber Wagon Works, a National Historical Landmark, as well as the Red Bridge, the longest single-span covered bridge in Pennsylvania.4. David S. Ammerman TrailClearfield CountyDavid S. Ammerman TrailWith scenic views of forests, farmland, and waterways, the 10.5-mile David S. Ammerman Trail offers several opportunities to stop and enjoy the scenic beauty of the area. Built on an abandoned rail corridor and part of the Great Shamokin Path used by the Lenape and Mohican tribes, the crushed stone trail provides a smooth and easy ride, complete with picnic tables at around 2.5 miles, 4 miles and 6.7 miles outside of Grampian.5. Houtzdale Line TrailClearfield CountyHoutzdale Line TrailThe 10.5-mile, gravel Houtzdale Line Trail abounds with vestiges of the area’s rich coal mining history. Now lined with beautiful hedgerows of multiflora and other deciduous shrubs, the trail traverses wetlands, upland forest, and a stream corridor filled with wildlife and native plants once you get beyond Ramey and Houtzdale. There are nearly eight miles of improved surface with the best access point at the trail center in Houtzdale, but the extreme east and west ends of the trail are in rough condition so may not be appropriate for all riders.6. Lebanon Valley Rail TrailLebanon CountyThe 18-mile Lebanon Valley Rail Trail traces much of the history of millionaire industrialist Robert Coleman. Known as Pennsylvania's first millionaire who constructed the Cornwall & Lebanon Railroad in the late 1800’s and built a vacation resort at Mount Gretna, the Chautauqua-style arts and education retreat. This gravel bike trail near Hershey follows the route of Coleman’s railroad, with a side trail to Mount Gretna for you to explore.7. Pine Creek Rail TrailLycoming and Tioga CountiesPine Creek Rail TrailRecognized as one of the “10 Best Places to Take a Bike Tour” by USA Today, the Pine Creek Rail Trail is one of the northeast’s premier rail trails. Located in the “Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania,” a federally designated National Natural Landmark, the 62-mile trail with its hard-packed gravel surface takes you on a journey through land once used to transport freight by train from Wellsboro to Williamsport. The trail has a small grade of around two percent and runs mostly uphill. Even equestrians can join the fun with a section of the trail designed specifically for horses.8. Lehigh and New England Rail TrailSchuylkill CountyThe 2.7-mile, crushed-stone Lehigh and New England Rail Trail follows a section of the former Lehigh and New England Railroad corridor just south of Tamaqua in eastern PA. Ride through lush greenery where you’ll come upon the remains of the Shellhamer Ice Dam, a former recreation and entertainment complex, about halfway along this peaceful trail.9. Schuylkill Valley Heritage TrailSchuylkill CountyThe 7.3-mile Schuylkill Valley Heritage Trail passes through the rolling green hills of the Schuylkill River Valley from just outside Tamaqua to Middleport. Start your journey in historic Tamaqua, a former mining town, and end your way in Middleport, where the route is a bit more on the challenging side with hills and tricky trails due to dirt and a sand base requiring a measure of caution as you bike through.10. D&H Rail TrailLackawanna, Susquehanna, and Wayne CountiesD&H Rail TrailA 38-mile gravel bike trail near New York, the D&H Rail Trail offers some wonderful scenic views of the Lackawanna River and several small lakes. The trail provides challenging sections with steep inclines, including a few where you just may have to walk your bike. With a trail bed comprised of cinder, original ballast, and hard-packed dirt, a hybrid or mountain bike is recommended to ride this intermittently rugged trail, where once lumber and anthracite coal were transported to the coast and to Canada.
