USAGE

The Rail-Trail is used by different users all year long, including cross country skiers in the winter.
The rail-trails are in current usage by bikers, hikers and runners. The O&W in Simpson is well used and is in the best condition for biking. A fat-tire bike is suggested, since the surface is original cinder and ballast. Equestrian users prefer sections of the D&H north of Union Dale, as well as, the O&W.

ATVs, dirt bikes or motorcycles are not allowed on the trails.

The Northeast PA SnoTrails, a PA State Snowmobile Association member, grooms the trail system in winter, opens additional linking trails, and regulates snowmobilers. A trail pass and insurance is necessary for snowmobiling. Courtesy and safety rules must be followed.

To find out where to get your trail pass applications and trail maps, check for snow conditions and route closures, and learn more about area snowmobiling, visit www.nepsnotrails.org.
