Local Mountain Biking

Ohiopyle Biking Club has really stepped it up in the last few years. A dedicated group of volunteers has been working tirelessly to build, maintain and of course, enjoy the trails on Sugarloaf. Because of this group, we have mountain biking specific single track trails all over Sugarloaf- with seemingly new trails popping up all the time!

You can head to the sledding hill area on Sugarloaf (halfway btw our home and Ohiopyle, about 10 mins away) and check out the kiosk there or for digital information here. Trailforks and Mtbproject are always good trail resources as well. 

Wilderness Voyageurs site has info on the Ohiopyle area as well. 

Ohiopyle State Park Mt. Bike Trails

Sugarloaf Mountain Bike Area is a series of loops that can be combined to create trips of varying lengths and difficulties. The trails are well-marked and wide, with only few rocky and muddy sections. Thanks to a very active local group of volunteers, new trails are being added, maintained and improved all the time. Recently they have connected the Baughman trail to the McCune trail (see map). The trails this group are adding are single track and a bit more challenging than the established State Park trails.

Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) Rail Trail

You can ride and hike the former rail road bed called the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) bike trail all the way from Pittsburgh to Washington, DC and make Yough Tree or Riverhouse a retreat from all the pedaling.

If the entire 200+ journey isn’t on your agenda, shorter day trips from our homes are a great way to get some exercise and see the area. The trail is shady and follows the river, so even on a hot day it’s pleasant. Turn left at the end of our road (cross Yough River Bridge) and follow the Yough River downstream to Ohiopyle (11 miles) or turn right and follow the Casselman River to the town of Rockwood ( 18 miles). There is a well stocked bike shop in Confluence, Confluence Cyclery as well as shops in Ohiopyle and Rockwood. Looking for a bike tour, check out local company, Wilderness Voyageurs.
