Description:
Currently a 1.75-mile section of the trail is open from 8:00 am to dusk. The trail runs parallel to Rosedale Avenue in Laureldale Borough on the former corridor of the East Penn Branch Railroad. The trail surface is made of crushed stone and provides an easy surface for walking or bicycling.

Paving will begin in mid-June 2011 and take about 90 days. In addition, traffic barriers, benches and parking lots at both ends of the trail will be added.

Trail
By wdibello in September, 2011
Is there an update as to when this trail will be paved etc? This is a great trail but it seems neglected lately, lots of standing water this summer. Would love to see the work done. I saw an article in the Reading Eagle that the work estimates came in higher than expected and they were waiting for PennDot to determine if they would help.

Supposed to be Paved Soon

I heard that the township is planning on paving and installing trailheads in the Spring of 2011. According to the report, the trail is to be paved with a bituminous surface and signage is to be installed as well.
Caution to cyclists

The surface of the trail is composed of sharp, loose stone. I fell twice as the surface slipped out from underneath me and had to pay $80 for 2 new tyres as the stone cut down to the kevlar lining. Glad I did, would have had many punctures without them. Mountain bikes only at this point. Hopefully they will pave soon. (April '09)
