Would minibikes be allowed on the trail? Something small like a colman.

National Parks Service prohibits any kind of motorized bike, or even any use of electrical assist:

"Bicycle electric assist features cannot be used while on the towpath; they are defined by the National Park Service as motor vehicles and therefore are not allowed on trails."

I live near the Montour trail which is a limestone rails-to-trails that runs just west and south of Pittsburgh PA. The portion that runs through Imperial PA has a horrible, horrible, horrible problem with young boys/men riding ATV's and dirt bike on the trail, totally ripping the surface to mud, ruts and heavy tread marks. When you yell for them to get off the trail surface they give you the finger and tell you to go #@&% yourself. There is NO place for any type of motorized vehicles on these biking/hiking trails. They just don't fit in and it's not what the trail surface was designed for.
