Rode this trail early summer, very easy, steady and level, great for family rides and walks.

I usually prefer long bike rides, but my trip last month was well worth it (I was in the area so took a ride). I parked at the south end and proceeded to the quarry. The trail is in excellent condition until you get to the unmarked road at about mile 5.75. From there its about 0.75 miles to the quarry - you can see the trail narrow and proceed to the right - but I didn't follow it as I was running out of time.

There had been a heavy rain a few days before, and the creeks were all babbling and very pretty!

This is an excelent trail and the reviews are useful. The surface is paved, some new and some old. The description of the start of the north end on Buss Road off Rt 512 in Pen Argyl is incomplete. There is parking available on Buss Rd at a spot labeled Recreation Trail. The trail is down in the valley so there is a quarter mile connection or link trail down to the rail trail from the parking lot. At the parking lot past the barrier posts take the crushed stone covered path to the right around the old quarry and waste mgt site down to the rail trail. Youker 8/27/2010

This was my absolute favorite trail in my years that I lived in the Lehigh Valley. I ran hundreds of miles here. It was a great alternative to running on harder surfaces. I moved away a couple of years ago but get back on occasion. Anytime I've been in the area, I always made a point to run on this trail. I went back about a year and a half ago and found my worst fear- they paved the 2 mile (approximate) grass section of the trail. For those who liked the softer surface for running, this ruined the trail. If you like an easy bike, it's fine. Blacktopping the trail turned it into a scenic road with no cars. If I wanted to run on blacktop, there is plenty of road. Shame on Plainfield Twp- you destroyed what made this trail great!

My wife and I have ridden our bikes on this trail many times as well as walking our 2 Beagles. People are always friendly and trail does not have that much traffic. On cooler weekends the south parking area at RTs191 & 115 gets crowded! usually the middle lot and northern lot (outside Wind Gap) are not as busy. Almost all of the trail with the exception of the stretch from Grand Central Road to the north parking area.

My first time on this trail, there were some trees overblown onto the trail from this past weekends winds, only one will require a chainsaw, the small ones I cleared to the side of the trail. Spring fever today had about 15 people out this clear, sunny Sunday morning at 10am, about 35 deg F, but I was the only biker. Trail runs along Little Bushkill Creek for a while, which makes for some nice views.

Nice to see the improvements to the trail. The wider width is nice for bikers to pass safely. Also like the elimination of the gates at the cross roads. I have been walking & cross country skiing this trail since it's creation. Very nice & peaceful. Close & convienent.

"This is an absolutely wonderful trail; it's perfectly suited for both biking and walking.

The trail surface varies from a very hard packed ballast, grass, loose gravel, and smooth asphalt. All of these surface types will be encountered if you travel the trail's entire length.

Unfortunately, there are only two dedicated trail user parking lots and one is at the trail's southern terminus (Route 115/191). The other lot is mid-trail and difficult to get to from major highways.

There are several street crossings, but none are unmanageable.

I drove 90 minute to try this trail out and will come back again in the future; it was that nice."

"This trail goes from Wind Gap to Stockertown. It is very flat and straight. The few bends in the trail are slight and you can usually see almost 1/2 mile in front you. The path offers decent shade with trees on both sides. An easy, relaxed trail."
