It always seems to blow (in our faces) on this trail.no matter which direction we ride. Not in your face dust.more so on your bike dust.
Definitely the dustiest trail that we ride. If you ride the length of the trail, you'll see what we mean. There are some really nice views looking north from the trail. Other than totally paved trails, this is probably the fastest trail that we ride. In general the trail decreases in elevation from west to east so we usually start our ride at the east end. The trail pretty much runs east and west and there are two or three slight inclines along the way. About a mile of the east end and a mile and three quarters of the west end are paved with the remainder being small crushed stone. We ride this trail at least a dozen times each year. At the east end of the trail, you can park at Hufnagle Park on Market Street (Lewisburg).Īll the trailheads feature restrooms as well. 5th Street between Hickory and Thompson streets.Īdditional parking can be found in Vicksburg at the intersection of the trail and Beaver Run Road (T422). To access the Buffalo Valley Rail Trail, you can park at the Community Park in Mifflinburg along N. Plans call for continuing the trail across the Susquehanna River along the trestle into Montandon.
These grants, along with contributions from local citizens and Union County, have made the Buffalo Valley Trail a reality for all to appreciate. The trail had a quick start thanks to the support of the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, who awarded a matching grant for the acquisition of the 60-foot-wide abandoned corridor and an additional $3.7 million in federal monies made available through the Federal Highway Transportation Enhancements Program. Lewisburg is home to Bucknell University and supports a vibrant and quaint downtown area, with eateries, bike shops and other boutique retail popular with trail users. The trail is mostly paved at both ends but the middle section has a gravel surface. The trail runs between Lewisburg and Mifflinburg, and interpretive signs relate the region's history. Currently, over 10 miles of the Buffalo Valley Rail Trail are complete.
