I live in the Greater Northeast & let me tell you if you want to have alot of fun, go to Pennypack Park! There you'll find so much to do and see, Geese, Birds of all types Large odd shaped rocks etc. The trails are somewhat hilly and challenging for most people, but it's really alot of fun. During the summer the park hosts Free concerts near The entrance at Welsh Rd & Cresco Street. Come on down, you'll have a great time!

As a visiting mid-westerner, this was my first time cycling alone in this area, so I appreciated how well used this trail was, mid-afternoon, late August. Heavily shaded most of the miles I covered between Pine Rd. and Bustleton Ave. Very winding and sometimes hilly, made me hug the right, so as not to run someone down on a blind curve. I always signaled my approach, but strolling pedestrians aren't too good about keeping to the right. Beautiful scenery: huge old trees, birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rocky Pennypack Creek, picturesque bridges.

Recently discovered this one. Beautiful ride, and enjoyable terrain.

" Pennypack is a great jogging/biking trail. West of the boulevard is safer than east of the blvd. Whatever direction you go, it's fun. Philly receives heavy criticism for many things, but give the city a lot of credit for Pennypack."

"Riding this trail, at least on the northern section, is like riding a roller coaster. It’s a very hilly section and some of the hills are steep. The cool thing is that with the exception of one or two hills, which are very challenging to climb, after descending one hill, it only requires moderate peddling to get up the next one. Then it’s time for another decent. Don’t ride into Pennypack Creek by accident!

Very beautiful scenery. This trail winds along a nice, meandering creek. I rode from the upper end of this trail, south 6 miles. I must agree with another reviewer that after riding 5 miles south, some shady characters appear on the trail. They’re not the kind of people that would steal your bike, I hope, but they will make you feel uneasy if you’re not used to Philadelphia. Therefore, I recommend riding from the north end of the trail, south 5 miles to the massive overpass and then turn around for a 10 mile roundtrip.

After about 4 miles, the trail flattens out and the scenery is pretty nice. By the way, the whole trail is paved, so 10 miles is very easy to do.

Definitely park at the north end of the park (pictured), across Pine Road from Fox Chase Farm (Butler Twp Park). Plenty of parking here with bathrooms and a food concession on Pine Road. Nice people on the north end of this trail."

I ran in Pennypack during my four years of college. The trail has been re-paved in the last three years. There's some fantastic scenery along the trail. Watch yourself if you're running east of boulevard -- there are some shady characters there. West of boulevard the trail is very hilly and beautiful.

I jogged in Pennypack for 11 years while living in Philadelphia. The city has much improved the paved trail in the last two years. West from Roosevelt Boulevard the trail is hilly and very scenic. East from Roosevelt Boulevard the trail is more flat. It's hard to believe you're in Philly when you're in the park. Be careful if you're in the park after dark.
