Hike or Bike! The Clarion-Little Toby Rail Trail is 18 miles extending from Ridgway to Brockway PA. It follows the railroad tracks down the Clarion River and turns up Toby Creek. The neatest thing about the trail is that it goes through many lumbering ghost towns from the turn of the 19 to 20th centuries. Starting in Brockway, it goes through the ghost towns of Carrier, Vineyard, Blue Rock (Ellmont), Shorts Mills, Grove (Garocii), Croyland, Carman (where it meets the Clarion River), Mill Haven, and on to Ridgway. Toby Creek cuts a 500-ft gorge out of the landscape as you travel north along the trail, and around 5 or 6 miles from Brockway, there's an old swinging bridge that crosses Toby Creek at the old town of Blue Rock (Ellmont) to the swimming hole.
