The junction with the Sandy Creek Trail heading east actually leads to some old school railroad gravel after termination at RT 322... you have to hunt for the entrance but the trail is there and worth it... it goes another several miles out to Kline Rd.
Hey, did ya happen to notice any primitive camp sites along the Allegheny River trail? I’m looking to tent camp along it, if possible. Was wondering if that was an option. Great video! Thanks.
yes, there are at least 2 sites that i can think of. one is a few miles north of emlenton, and the other is a few miles south of Franklin. The nearby Sandy Creek Trail also has one
The Western Maryland Rail Trail runs parallel to the C&O Canal for about 22 miles. The city of Hancock is just about the midway point, about 11 miles to either end. The entire trail is flat paved asphalt.
One of my favorite movies. I still catch it a few times a year but, oddly enough, not on groundhog day :) I appreciate the videos. We have some very nice mountain bike rides right outside our door, but we really enjoy rails to trails. The videos are very well done and help us decide which ones to try. Going to try Punxsy this weekend and Brookville next.
Nice ride, I was curious at about 7:30 on the video, you are looking back, and then start riding faster, as if you are trying to outrun someone or something. I'm planning to ride this part of the Redbank Trail, is there anything about that area near that old abandoned industrial site, to be concerned about?
Hi Jeff! At the 7:30 point, I look down to the right to check to make sure there is no traffic coming. I may have sped up a little while crossing the roadway, but the video is also sped up. The old fire brick factory there is a pretty interesting sight. You can check out my other video where I explored this area on foot a little bit ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AD69dXSjbhQ.html - Exploring the area on foot does have some possible hazards, like sharp rusty things, or holes in the ground... so I recommend staying on the trail. If you stay on the trail you will have nothing to be concerned about!
you really get around on your bike, I recognize alot of that trail and the buildings too, love the blue heron shot, such a beautiful bird,the trees water etc are very pretty, buildings? not so much, lol, you definitly have stamina to do almost 90miles on a bike, I would love to get one of those ice fat trikes (recumbants) bike myself but the price is prohibitive.
