Swatara Rail-Trail

Next time a shorter ride, but more enjoyable.

April, 2026 by sees

On 4/3/2026 my daughter and I rode the trail for a 21 mile ride starting at the north end of trail, at the Hampton Inn. It is hard to call this part of the trail a trail. We rode down someone’s driveway and along the edge of their yard. Then there was a mud path just wide enough for our tires with several large mud puddles. After the Swopes Valley Road parking area the trail is a wide crushed stone trail, a little rougher than a normal rail trail due to the fact that equestrians can use this part of the trail. After the pedestrian bridge the trail is smother. This trail would be a great trail to ride in the fall when the leaves are changing. The next time we ride this trail we will start at the Swopes Valley Road parking area and ride south to the Lickdale trailhead and have a picnic lunch or continue to the end of the trail to eat at Wendy’s or subway, maybe even get some ice cream.

Union Canal Trail

misinformation in the trail info leads to wasted time

March, 2026 by megan.a.lemon

0 stars if I could. Nowhere in the information anywhere on here does it say pets aren’t allowed, so I thought this would be a nice shady walk for my dog on a sunny day only to drive all the way there and see no pets signs everywhere. Waste of time and gas.

Lake Galena Hike & Bike Trail

A Beautiful Trail ...

February, 2026 by robertino

The trail is actually park path and is not a rail trail. So, there are plenty of twists and curves that make for a fun and interesting ride. Only the pathway on the dam is a straightaway, and the view from it will stop you in your tracks.

The path is generally smooth: it was re-paved 2 years ago. I say "generally" because, inexplicably, they left a half-mile that remains pitted and worn out.

You'll see a lot of wildlife on this trail -- deer, geese, foxes (two and four legged), seagulls, squirrels, chipmunks, all species of birds, free-ranging children -- and, of course, the lake is beautiful and is almost always in sight. There are lots of benches and picnic tables right along the path. It's all absolutely breathtaking.

But -- and this is a big but! 😯 -- DO NOT ride this path on a weekend when the weather is nice. Half of Doylestown will be on it strolling, walking their dogs, meandering, lollygagging, rollerblading, yakking, eating, making love on and sitting in this path -- and, as a cyclist, it's frustrating and not even close to being enjoyable at such times.

The best time -- the only time! -- to ride this trail is on weekdays before 5pm. If, however, you're a cold cruiser or a rain rider, the path will be all yours any day of the week! Enjoy!

D&L Trail

Seriously a fun and beautiful toe path trail that puts you in the middle of the Delaware River and the canal..stop in quaint villages ( ie: New Hope, Lambertville) for a bit to eat or stay the night

Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Trail

D & L rail/canal trail

December, 2025 by toddengland

I just rode a portion of the trail from West Trenton to 2 miles north of Stockton. The path was a packed gravel path wide enough to drive a car down. The grade is very minimal the section I rode on. There are great views of the Delaware river the entire way. I would suggest browsing around the town of Lambertville. There are many quaint shops and restaurants to visit.

Perkiomen Trail

The perk

December, 2025 by twinbonz5

The hardest part is making it over springmount. I love the trail. I do it often. Made the 45 miles.

Conewago Recreation Trail

Now this Trail is 5 stars¿¿

November, 2025 by tim.deardorff

This trail has been resurfaced and it totally makes a HUGE difference… thank you to all who got this done- I was able to ride 30 miles round trip on both trails all the way to the Root Beer Barrel and back. Bikers have no more worries going to the county line or further!

Enola Low Grade Trail

favorite trail

November, 2025 by kay.deitz

I start at Red Hill Road parking lot in Pequa and do the 20 mile round trip to Turkey Hill and back, it is flat, no potholes or surprises and glorious. Two bridges, 5 miles each way along the river, often a train, many groups of rock climbers on the weekend. Just glorious. If you want to add miles, going west is level and wooded. Some might say boring however I find it cool, refreshing and safe. My favorite trail!

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

One of the best!

October, 2025 by pjcobra

This is one of the best trails around. Paved. Short stretch onto a couple of blocks in Marietta with little to no MV traffic. Very scenic, along river, through woods and fields, along cliffs. Winding through woods, strait ways through fields and a park. Close to level, slight rise and fall along river. Well maintained. Super ride. I saw reviews from electric bikers but really they should stick to public streets. Better yet, buy a motorcycle or some other licensed motor vehicle.
