The Pine Creek Rail Trail is a rail trail in the Appalachian Mountains of north-central Pennsylvania. The trail begins just north of Wellsboro, runs south through Pine Creek Gorge (also known as the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania), and ends at Jersey Shore. A 2001 article in ''USA Today'' named the long trail one of "10 great places to take a bike tour" in the world.〔 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】The Wellsboro Area Chamber of Commerce: Pennsylvania Grand Canyon )〕 ==Route== The Pine Creek Rail Trail is approximately from end to end, and it generally follows a north-south orientation. The trail is located wholly within Tioga and Lycoming Counties. The trail's northern terminus is near the intersection of U.S. Route 6 and Pennsylvania Route 287, about north of Wellsboro. (Parking is located at the southernmost end of Butler Road). The trail parallels Route 6 in a southwesterly direction for about until it reaches the village of Ansonia. South of Ansonia, the trail parallels Pine Creek as it goes south along the floor of Pine Creek Gorge. It passes through Leonard Harrison State Park and the Tioga State Forest. Approximately south of Ansonia, the trail passes through the village of Blackwell.〔 The section between Ansonia and Blackwell is very remote, and much of the trail is inaccessible by road. South of Blackwell, the trail enters Lycoming County and the Tiadaghton State Forest. It parallels Pennsylvania Route 414 for about . Pennsylvania Route 414 ends near the unincorporated village of Waterville. South of Waterville, the trail parallels Pennsylvania Route 44 for approximately until the trail reaches its southern terminus in Jersey Shore. (Parking at Railroad St. and Humes St.) Between Blackwell and Jersey Shore, the trail crosses the highway and Pine Creek several times, and it is almost always within sight of both the road and the creek.
