The Redbank Valley Rail Trail beckons the more fearless travelers among us, with some sections best suited for mountain bikers due to rough terrain, while others are perfect for more casual recreational riders. And what a trail! It's more than 51 miles long and traverses three counties through some of the most spectacular scenery in western PA. With 20 bridges, numerous stone arches, three former railroad tunnels (Brookville remains closed), and 42 miles of the trail winding along Redbank Creek, it's easy to see why it was the first trail ever designated the state Trail of the Year in 2020. Adding to its charm 10 large corten metal sculptures by Massachusetts artist Dale Rogers along the trail and large fiberglass bear at designed and painted by local students.
