Hiking Trails
Knox Kane Rail Trail is a 3.8-mile section of northern Pennsylvania's Knox Kane Rail Trail opened in McKean County in 2018. The crushed-stone pathway runs through a largely forested corridor between Center Street in Mount Jewett and Kinzua Bridge State Park. The park's signature feature is the 301-foot-high Kinzua Bridge Skywalk, which was the tallest railroad bridge in the world when it was built in 1882. If you like, you can jump on the local trail 1/2 block from Retro Retreat. It's a nice easy hike through the forest. Ask me for details.
