Bald Eagle Valley Trail, Phase 2 is Now Open (Video Report)

CASTANEA TOWNSHIP – Officials from Clinton County and several local municipalities along with volunteers gathered at the Clinton County Historical Railway Project site to celebrate the first day of spring in style by dedicating a three mile section of the new Bald Eagle Valley Trail.

The Bald Eagle Valley Trail, named for the ridge-and-valley Appalachian Mountain area through which the trail passes, is a project of Clinton County Government, with partners Castanea, Wayne and Pine Creek Townships, the Clinton County solid Waste Authority, and the Clinton County Visitors Bureau. Sections of the 11.5-mile bicycle/pedestrian trail are complete and open for public use, while others are still under development.

The trail traverses former railroad bed, abandoned township roads and active farm/township roads. The ultimate goal is to connect with neighboring Lycoming County and the Jersey Shore trailhead of the Pine Creek Rail Trail.
