Rolling in the Allegheny National Forest
The trail has been divided into a Bike Trail Area and an ATV Trail Area and provides a variety of riding experiences for different types of machines and levels of difficulty. ATVs are permitted on the Bike Trail, and trailbikes are allowed on ATV Trails. This 23.1 mile loop is rated most difficult and is best suited to trailbikes. The Bike Trail offers a very rocky trail surface that winds and twists through the forest. Trailbikers can finish the trail within a few hours. The perfect time to explore these trails is during the Tour de Forest from Oct. 2-4 in Marienville. The Forest Lodge & Campground offers direct trail access and is located on Route 66, six miles north of Marienville, in Pigeon. Reservations can be made at 814-927-8790.
FallFest, an annual celebration of harvest, includes three of the tastiest places in Kane -Flickerwood Wine Cellars, Edgewood Herbs and Rocky Ridge Apple Orchard. It is held Sept. 26-27 at Flickerwood Wine Cellars and offers two days of wine, music, crafts and prizes.
In fact, Kane can serve as your home base as you travel the trails throughout McKean County. No matter the trail or difficulty level, however, one thing is constant. Fall is Bigger Here and as the wheels of the bikes go swooshing by, so will the vibrant colors that you can only find in McKean County, Pennsylvania.
