Ride the Wilds - Visioning Survey

Provide input to help envision the future of cycling in the PA Wilds!

The Pennsylvania Environmental Council is currently undertaking an effort to assess the current state of cycling in the PA Wilds with the end goal of producing a report designed to arm stakeholders with information and priorities to pursue future funding opportunities, advance projects, and market the region as a cycling destination.

The PA Wilds is defined as the 13-county region of Warren, McKean, Potter, Tioga, Forest, Elk, Cameron, Clarion, Jefferson, Clearfield, Clinton, Lycoming, and northern Centre.

This survey asks a series of basic questions about the identity of the PA Wilds, current state of cycling and cycling-related infrastructure, and potential improvements needed to make the region a premier cycling destination. We are asking for input from anyone who is familiar with the region as it relates to cycling, outdoor recreation in general, and tourism. 


Please share this survey and help get the word out! The more input we get, the more it helps us gain an understanding of the region and make recommendations. The survey will be open through January 15, 2025. 

If you have any questions or comments, please direct them to Helena Kotala (hkotala@pecpa.org).
