We just finished a ride on the newly opened trail in Lower Saucon. What a nice ride along the old Reading Railroad. The trail runs through shady cuts in the hills to crossing several times over the Saucon creek. The surface was gravel but very easy to ride on. Crossing the roads is very well marked for safety. The only down fall is that upper saucon has yet to finish it's part. So lets get upper saucon to finish the job. Someday I hope the trail will link Hellertown to Quakertown.

This trail is always in use when I go in the evening, not crowded as there is pleanty of room for walkers, joggers, and bikers to pass by each other... very social, extremely pleasant!

I agree with jfreeh's assessment with respect to the privacy fences. That does not, however, diminish the pleasure of riding this trail. Except for the access ramp at the Upper Saucon Park trailhead, this trail is nearly level with nice, fine gravel for the roadbed. The stone becomes a little coarser when you enter Northampton County and Hellertown but it is still an easy ride. For most of the length this trail is very wide, so lots of room to share with other bicyclers and pedestrians.
