US 6 cuts across the Northern tier of Pennsylvania, offering 290 miles of  pleasurable, scenic riding for the entire route.  The road is in great condition and traffic is generally light – particularly in the mid-section.  There are plenty of open spaces for passing when needed.  Throughout the entire route, US 6 offers many gentle curves, a few [...]

This road has been described by other riders as providing twists, curves and elevation changes. I found it to be quite tame actually – there are only a few corners that I would label as ‘tight’ as it gently winds its way along through the forest as it hugs the banks of the Tionesta Creek. It’s never boring because it is full of (mostly gentile) curves and it surrounds you with the spectacular scenery of the heart of the Allegheny National Forest almost from beginning to end. I recommend it if you find yourself in the area.

My husband belongs to a rod-and-gun club. The club’s cabin is in the Poe Valley region of Bald Eagle State Forest in Center County. We have walked the nearby trails many times but each walk has its own surprises. As the Mid State Trail passes through the Penns Creek Wild Area [...]
