Cedar Run Inn
A remote roadhouse at the floor of Pine Creek Gorge in the hamlet of Cedar Run, sitting directly on the Pine Creek Rail Trail at the corridor's midpoint. Listed as a key resupply stop on the Mid-Atlantic Backcountry Discovery Route and a classic lunch stop for motorcyclists descending into the gorge from PA-414. The inn serves food and drinks daily and offers basic lodging — one of the only services for miles in either direction along the gorge bottom. Address: 281 Beulahland Rd, Cedar Run, PA 17727.
At the floor of Pine Creek Gorge, the inn sits directly beside the Pine Creek Rail Trail and serves as a practical anchor point in an otherwise service-sparse stretch of gorge corridor. For riders coming down from PA-414, it's often the first real option to sit down after miles with no alternatives in either direction along the gorge bottom.
The dining room occupies the first floor of an older Victorian-style building, and the menu runs toward composed, ingredient-forward plates — think duck, scallops, and mushroom soup — rather than the roadhouse fare the remote location might suggest. Reviews consistently note the contrast between the setting's isolation and the quality of the food. One practical note: the inn is known to operate on a cash-or-check basis, and calling ahead for reservations is strongly advised, particularly for dinner. Rooms are available for overnight stays if the gorge has other plans for your schedule.
A general store directly across the road rounds out the stop for riders who only need a quick resupply rather than a sit-down meal.
The only sit-down food stop at canyon-floor level along 47 miles of gorge — essential for riders on the Mid-Atlantic BDR or the PA-414 descent route.
