Picture country roads with rolling farmland, patches of woodland and scenic vistas. Or a gently sloping rail-trail around a sweeping bend of the river. Or single-tracks through stands of mountain laurel where headwaters form. The Stonycreek is a great place to bicycle - whatever type of cycling you prefer!

James Mayer Riverwalk runs along the Stonycreek River from the Moxham section of Johnstown to the village of Riverside in Stonycreek Township. This groomed rail-trail features a crushed limestone surface, Buttermilk Falls and a glimpse of the 66-inch pipeline that provides water to Johnstown's mills from Quemahoning Lake.
