Samuel Justus Recreational Trail - Extensions of the Ride

The next segment to the north along the Erie to Pittsburgh Trail is a seamless connection to the Oil City Trail (page NE-75) at the sewer plant.

The next segment to the south along the Erie to Pittsburgh Trail is a seamless connection to the Allegheny River Trail (page NE-91) at the Franklin trailhead.

From the Franklin trailhead, a trail into Franklin is marked as a bike path. It goes under the US322 bridge (going north), crosses the bridge on the bike/pedestrian lane, turns right/north on 9th St at the end of the bridge, goes through Riverfront Park on a paved path, goes up 9th St two blocks to Liberty, then continues on the sidewalk on the east side of Liberty, which is officially designated as the bike path to downtown.

The Allegheny River from Warren to Oil City and from Franklin to Emlenton is a National Scenic River.
