Tour de Frack

Emlenton, Pennsylvania – Cyclists from the area will take to the Allegheny River Trail for a family friendly way to explore the wonders of the area.  Pack a snack, water, a flashlight and join us for this 20 mile ride heading north along a ‑at paved trail. Pass through a 1/2 mile tunnel along the Allegheny National Scenic River, in an area known for wildflowers, water fowl, and bald eagles.  

Join others who are concerned about the negative effects the current wave of natural gas drilling is having on our communities, our heath, and our outdoor heritage.  We will celebrate with a picnic at a nearby home after the ride is complete. Please RSVP at www.TourdeFrack.com
