Cruise 17 flat miles on the Pine Creek Rail Trail with a Blackwell shuttle pickup
3+ hour
Bike the Pine Creek Rail Trail from Ansonia to Blackwell on a crushed-limestone railbed with a gentle grade. Choose a 2pm or 5pm shuttle pickup at the Blackwell Access parking lot to finish your ride.
You must be 21+ to rent an e-bike. A non-refundable $10 per person deposit is required.
There is a $10 per person non-refundable deposit. Cancel with more than 48 hours notice for a refund of item price (minus $10 per person and processing fees). Less than 48 hours: no refund. No-shows charged full price. Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
Plan your ride so you can reach Blackwell by your chosen pickup time. For the 2pm shuttle, plan to leave PCO by 10am (or no later than 11am). For the 5pm shuttle, plan to leave PCO by 1pm (or no later than 2pm).
Shuttles leave promptly. If an additional shuttle has to run because you missed your chosen pickup, you will have to pay for an additional shuttle (confirm the amount with Greetwell before booking).
Conditions can change quickly, and temperatures can be 10–15 degrees cooler in the canyon. Check the weather and plan your gear accordingly.
PCO to Blackwell
Shannon and the team here have built a strong reputation around making outdoor adventures in the PA Grand Canyon area stress-free. Their shuttle and vehicle valet services are particularly well-regarded, with backpackers and cyclists consistently praising the reliability, punctuality, and local knowledge the staff brings to every trip. The Canyon Valet service in particular gets warm mentions from hikers doing the West Rim Trail, who appreciate the thoughtful little touches like parking cars close to trail exits after long days on the trail. Bike rentals are another popular offering, with e-bikes available for scenic rides along the Pine Creek Rail Trail. Staff are generally described as helpful and welcoming, and the overall booking experience is smooth. A few riders have noted the bike seats could be more comfortable on longer rides, which is worth keeping in mind if you're planning a longer excursion. The occasional complaint about customer service pops up, but these seem to be isolated experiences against a backdrop of mostly positive interactions. For anyone planning a one-way hike or bike trip in the area, this outfitter fills a real gap and most visitors leave feeling like the experience was well worth it.
Had a great experience with this professional outfitter. Colter (Colder?) was patient over the phone. We had booked ebikes to ride on the Pine Creek Rail Trail. My husband had a family emergency and couldn't go but I went anyway. The young woman (I didn't get her name) who set me up was nice and helpful. We will definitely use them again when my husband can go!
