I am just passing through western Pa and thought about a quick ride from Connellsville to Ohiopyle and back. My bike I will be transporting is a road bike with 700/25 tires. Will these be OK on this part of the trail?

It should be okay unless all the rain has made a mess of things. The GAP is gravel. I have noticed the fine gravel tends to coat the chain and gears, and I've wondered if it causes wear and tear, but you're not going that far.

Agree. 25s will be fine for that section of the GAP.
