This Rail Biking Experience In Pennsylvania Belongs On Your Bucket List

We’ve got so many fun adventures waiting for us no matter where we live in the state, but this rail biking experience in Pennsylvania definitely shines as one of the most unique. Instead of climbing aboard a train for an adventure on the rails, slip into a seat on this rail bike for a tour that will showcase some of the most beautiful parts of Pennsylvania.

You can find a ton of adventures in Pennsylvania but perhaps none as unique as the rail bike experience with American Rail Bike Adventures in Stewartstown.

If you've never heard of a rail bike before, the concept is simple. The bikes are specially designed to fit on railroad tracks.

Rail bikes are pedal-powered and feature brakes. Since there are four people on each bike, you won't have to exert too much energy on your adventure.

In fact, those who have embarked on a rail bike adventure rave that it's fun *and* relaxing. You won't travel too fast, either. Rail bikes usually go around 15 miles an hour.

American Rail Bike Adventures hosts two rail bike experiences - the two-hour countryside excursion and the five-hour New Freedom excursion.

Bring along three friends or family members. Each will pedal the rail bike while one rider will also control the brake.

Journey from Stewartstown to Anstine Village on the two-hour country tour. The six-mile trip meanders through the countryside and farmland. You'll also cross over the Iron Bridge.

For a longer adventure, opt for the five-hour Stewartstown to New Freedom route. The 16-mile excursion offers time to stop and explore the town's shops and restaurants.

Both excursions include a break when you reach the halfway point in your journey. The rail bikes are then turned around so you can make your way back to the station at Stewartstown.
