Description:
Still in project phase, but 2 miles are completed as part of the master plan. The first phase and trail head is in a park called "Lower Nike park". It was once one of the 13 Nike Atlas class missile sites used to defend Philadelphia from ICBM Intercontinental Ballistic missiles during the cold war with Russia. In the area, under the existing large picnic hill, and pavilions, there were underground silos. There were filled in during the 1990's. There were living and work quarters across folly road in the existing parking area, where there are now soccer fields and a continuation of the walking trail. There was once a memorial web site called www.site99.org that had pictures. Possibly google has other images for reference.
The master plan was to make Warrington PA more pedestrian friendly and to connect major points of interest like shopping and schools and homes, as well as provide alternative transportation following creeks and greenways. Long term plan is to cross under main highways of rt 611 and rt 132, to connect to adjacent Bucks county townships of Doylestown, Warminster, Chalfont, Warwick, and the Montgomery County townships of Horsham and Montgomery among others who are also completing trail systems. My hope is that the trails may follow the Little Neshaminy creek to the Neshaminy and eventually to the Delaware river, as does the Pennypack creek trail, which is an excellent trail example. It has many places where it passes under major roads near many houses, but you are far removed from traffic, and instead have the soothing flow of water nearby.

Bradford dam is the centerpiece of the trail. It is a flood control project of the Army corps of engineers, and operates as a relatively dry dam until a large rain event when is fills and slows any flood water. Avoid walking in spillway water if it floods.
