UPDATE 10/20 – Due to the approval of hunting on selected Sundays, ALL segments are CLOSED during posted hunting seasons, generally 11/15 thru 12/31, INCLUDING Sundays. Please respect these closures.
The overall Quemahoning (Que) Trail forms a 16-mile loop around the Quemahoning Reservoir with multiple access points. This is broken into multiple listings, split by road interruptions or access points, to provide shorter, section-specific descriptions. This Ride links them all together in a counterclockwise direction.
This Ride listing starts at the Conemaugh Township parking lot along Quemahoning Dam Road, north of the Family Recreation Area and provides direct access onto the Trail. The first 2.5 miles (counterclockwise) of the Ride follows easier terrain creating a more beginner out and back opportunity. A clockwise start leads riders into some of the more technical intermediate rocky areas, descents, and climbs. Birdman, Plank, and Que Dam Roads offer flatter bailout return segments for CCW out and back rides to the loop midpoint at Birdman Connector.
This Trail was designed to provide the easiest initial route around the whole reservoir and a base for planned future trails to branch off into more advanced terrain. See individual Trail listings for specific descriptions.

Wow, what a beautiful, challenging and fun route. Rode this during the summer and aside from a few overgrown spots, the train is very well maintained. We stopped several times to admire the beauty of this area. The difficulty of each trail are rated appropriately, with most of this route's challenge from a few rock gardens and steep climbs. Majority of the trail is flow with some great downhill sections.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
