What We Do

 

Our Mission

This trail group has formed to actively promote the development of trails in the region of the

McKean/Elk County line. We will engage in the design, funding, construction, mapping, and

maintenance of a network of multi-purpose, non-motorized (hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and

snowshoeing) trails and trailheads within this area of the Pennsylvania Wilds region. We view the

former Knox/Kane railroad grade as the main artery for this trail network. The Association believes in

creating these opportunities to promote outdoor recreation and physical fitness, as well as preserving

areas of natural or historical significance, and educating trail users about these features.

 

TAMED Strives to:

  • Promotes outdoor recreation and physical fitness as well as preserve areas of natural and historical significance.

  • Be advocates of the Knox Kane Rail Trail between Lantz Corners and Chafee.

  • Be respectful of all other users and property owners along the trail.

 

What We’ve Achieved

  • TAMED has decked one bridge over the active railroad and constructed over 12 miles of trail

  • The trail is a compacted, crushed limestone surface.
