Indian Creek Valley Rail Trail - Champion Trailhead — Attraction in Donegal Township

This trail could be sooo much better. It's short (about 8 miles one way), and I don't think that the supposedly planned extension to the Great Allegheny Passage will ever take place, although THAT would be fantastic!

The surface is in dire need of repair. For the most part, the original crushed limestone is gone, and in some places, replaced with driveway stone; not a good ride on that stuff at all!

Well maintained bike walking trail with many little areas that others have gone off the trail whether to camp or be by the water. Bald eagle was near the beginning of the trail, deer, and all kinds of cool fungi off the trail. The parking lot is a decent size. Gravel. On the same road that takes you to camp Christian. There was a porta potty I noticed in the parking lot. I do not however know if that is for everybody to use or if it was there because they are working on expanding a different part of the trail that is not...
