This is really a nice trail. Parking is very convenient to access the trail as well and you can access many retailers and restaurants including a grocery store easily from that trail (if you want to run in and get a quick drink). Plus access to the park on that trail. Plan to come back with my bicycle and bike the trail. Looking forward to the extension up into Newtown.
Some riders do not announce themselves while passing us slower riders - witnessed between Valley Forge and Norristown on 7/22/2025. And often see riders going way too fast in congested areas, one rider yelling at other riders as though he owns the trail, not slowing down. There is a speed limit of 15 miles per hour and often riders are going 25+ MPH. This is not a speedway but rather a trail for enjoyment, for walkers, bikers, in-line skaters, and NOT for an accident waiting to happen!!! If someone is training or going for speed, find a roadway that is more appropriate.
Stretching 2.7 miles north to south through suburban KoP and Upper Merion Twp., the Crow Creek Trail connects local communities with two longer trails and The Circuit.
Paralleling the creek for which it is named, the trail is currently (as of 2025) divided into two completed segments, separated by a short, quarter mile gap between Covered Bridge Road and the Upper Merion Community Center, off Valley Forge Road. The surface is primarily asphalt, with two segments of concrete sidewalk; these are in the middle of Sweetbriar Park and next to the Upper Merion Baseball And Softball Association building on the south side of Walker Field. There is also a short concurrency with the access road and parking lot across the campus of the Upper Merion Area Middle School and Viking Aquatics Center.
Like most multi-use trails, the Crow Creek Trail offers both recreational and transportation opportunities. The lush, wooded banks of Crow Creek form a greenbelt cutting through the suburban sprawl, providing both shade for trail users and a refuge for local wildlife. Birds, squirrels, chipmunks and even deer are common sights on the trail, while numerous species of wildflowers add an array of color in the spring and summer months. In addition to connecting three parks, a community center and athletic facilities, the trail also allows the students, faculty and staff of Upper Merion Area Middle School to safely walk or bike without going on busy streets.
The King of Prussia Mall and other businesses of downtown KoP, as well as the Chester Valley Trail, are a short distance down Allendale Road from the trail's southern terminus, while a short walk or ride west on Abrams Road from the northern terminus links to Bob Case Park. From here, trail users can take the Schuylkill River West Trail to Valley Forge National Historical Park and the longer Schuylkill River and Horseshoe Trails.
Unfortunately, the Crow Creek Trail does have some shortcomings. Although most of the trail is wide enough to safely accomodate two lanes of traffic in either direction, the sidewalk sections as well as several of the footbridges over the creek are narrower and should be used with caution. The trail is not level and there are several steep slopes and sharp curves on the route, including the switchbacks winding down the hill just south of the Upper Merion Community Center. Fortunately, there are signs alerting users of these potential hazards.
Nice paved surface. Beautiful ride by the river and through wooded sections. For me it's a nice length and you can add on extra miles if you want as it intersects with the SRT and PT. One of the better areas I've ridden.
Path is very well maintained, except for the connector to Prospect Park is a bit worn (you can use the adjacent street). A great stress free route to Coney Island.
I rode today - 7/6/25 - from Oaks about 3/4 of the way to Green Lane Park and back. My first time on this trail in a couple of years. I know there may have been some extra maintenance after storms recently but I found the condition of the trail to be the just about the best that I can ever remember. I ride a mostly road bike which sometimes struggles if the gravel gets too deep or loose in places, but a really smooth and enjoyable ride start to finish today.
Saw the last review on this stating trail was dangerous and in need of maintenance. Was hoping some improvement wouldve been made but the Coopalong is still in tough shape. A lot of trees down with large stretches of the trail covered with overgrown weeds. Id especially avoid the southern half closer to Pittstown.
I have wanted to come to Sandy Hook for several years, and I am thrilled that I finally did. It’s a lovely ride that includes shore front and leafy glades. Definitely my new favorite ride!
Nice ride from Crystal lake park to the Delaware River. The on-road segment has a sidewalk which we used for safety, although not a lot of traffic. Restrooms at Crystal lake park. . Water was very rusty !!
They connected the two major pieces with an elevated bridge through the meadow park
Pedaled from Kernsville Dam to just south of Auburn, 6 miles one way. Really nice section of trail. The new bridge over the river between Stony Creek trailhead and Auburn is open. Didn’t have time to pedal all the way to Auburn, had to turn back.
