Super fun - My wife and I rode the railbikes along Pudding Creek. Awesome experience. Beautiful scenery along the route and it was very unique to cruise on the rails. The electric assisted bikes made things super easy. Nice little optional hike at the half way point. Our guides Johnny and Chris were amazing. Very helpful, informative, and loads of fun. Highly recommend this activity.

Amazing!! - Such a beautiful trip! It was so beautiful and we had so much fun! The guides were awesome! The actual ride was a little short but that was perfect for us on this trip. I know there’s a longer one and I’ll look into that next time. We will do it again!

A “Must Do”!!!! - The trip was a blast!! 7 mile round trip on electric assisted rail bikes makes this ride fun and easy!! Johnny and Bruce were great chaperones on our ride, giving us a lot of info regarding the trees, the rail line and history the of the area. I would highly recommend this as a half day adventure for all ages!!!

Rail Bikes are a must do activity! - This was a really fun excursion! The scenery was beautiful and the rail bikes were easy to operate. Our rail bike guides Johnny and Jake kept our safety as a priority while also being entertaining and treating us to their great sense of humor. They also provided historical facts about the area along our journey. I would recommend the rail bikes for anyone who likes a fun adventure!

Too much $$$ not enough time, Great Though - So here’s the deal. It’s great, but very short for the money. Most of the time is spent waiting for the train to show up. You spend less than an hour on the actual bike. It’s a lot of money for that. I would give it five stars except the cost is insane for what it is. That being said. It is fun. Things we wish we had known prior, it’s not actual exercise. The wind makes it cold so wear layers and don’t expect to get hot. Also, bring food if your the type. The cars have baskets and you have over an hour at the end of the line.

Bike Didn't Work - One side of the rail bike did not work because the teeth on the chain ring were gone. They said we would received a refund, however, after two calls and an email to their gm, no response.

Skunk Train Experience Really Stunk - I was severly disappointed by the actions of management during this event.
1. The website is outdated and the specials and offers in the office is completely different than what is offered on the website told to me by an employee.
2. A couple before me was offered $150 off their ride because they came into the office and ordered on that day. Unfortunately since I paid online they offer no refunds or can apply any military ot local discounts.
3. They don't offer military discount on clothing only tickets.
4. The t
Rail car arrival and departure was 45 minutes later than posted.
5. On the journey back the chain on a rail car broke and we were delayed another 45 minutes as they tried to fix it long enough to get to the railyard. They had to push it back most of the way.
6. Poor preventive maintenance had rail cars running into each other as the brakes were not fully operational.
7. Our rail car chain was rusty and looked as it would break also.
8. The one stop before the halfway point was educational.
9. The two operators Cain and Caden were phenomenal and they were able to salvage the trip by keeping everyone engaged with their fantastic personalities and storytelling ability.
10. Overall, I gave it one star because of the eight issues and the one glimmering, hope from the hosts on our journey.
