General Description:

See Allegeheny National Forest for trail regulations and other important information.

The Willow Creek ATV Trail is a 10-mile loop trail traversing scenic, forested hills on the Bradford District of the Allegheny National Forest. Located on the eastern side of the Allegheny Reservoir, just south of the New York State line, is open to Class I ATV's, tralbikes, horses and mountain bikes.

The best time for mountain biking is OFF-SEASON! The off-season (when the ATV Trails are closed to motorized use) is April 1 to the Thursday before Memorial Day weekend, and September 24 to December 20 of each year. However, you can bike during ATV season, but it gets hairy with ATV's whizzing by.

The trail is open from the Friday before Memorial Day to the last Sunday in September. Inclement wet weather may cause the trails to close in short notice--when in doubt, please call ahead.

 

The Trails:

Maps of the trail can be picked up at the Marienville Ranger Station directly north of town.

The rating system is really designed for motorized off-road vehicles.
