The trail between Mine Road and Butler Road was recently resurfaced with finely crushed stone. As of Saturday September 24 it was a bit soft at places but it was a big improvement on that section of trail. By Tuesday the 28th it had been ruined by people riding horses. But what is worse is that the destruction appears to be intentional, as it is from edge to edge and along the entire length of the recently repaired trail. The good news is that it will get better with time, the ruts left by the horses will slowly get filled in by bikers using the trail, in fact it has already begun.
As I said in the previous review I would come back and check the trail out to see if the construction is done. And it was. The parking area was clear of piles of stone and graded. The trail had also been graded so a lot smoother with few exceptions. I did not make it to the bridge to see what was beyond but I will come back because it is such a peaceful ride.
Nice topography but trail is tough to ride with larger, non-crushed stone. Was scouting this out for a ride with my wife as we live close to trail. Will opt to drive to Lawn and catch the Lancaster/ Lebanon Trail to reduce the hazard risk
I have not been on this trail for a while. When I got to the parking area from Dauphin there were big piles of different grades of road material. In talking with someone he heard they were repairing a bridge about 6 miles in. Due to the heavy equipment using the trail it was a bit bumpy in places. When I got to the bridge I could see they were actually repairing the road beyond. I rode in about 1/2 mile but there was loose stone everywhere and the ride was extremely bumpy even with front shocks so I turned around. I remember riding for 15 miles before and the road was pretty smooth. It is still a very nice and quiet ride that is why I gave it 5 stars. In a couple of years the trail should be a lot smoother, at least I hope. And I will keep going back to check it out.
Crushed stone is very packed and easy to ride with only a few bumpy spots. Saw very few people on a Monday afternoon.
First mile bumpy but fine, last two narrow and all natural. The 7 miles in between are really enjoyable, gravel & decommissioned road. Can cross bridges on both ends to ride Bear Hole trail . Didn’t ride this time, but took both bridges over the Swatara creek. Trail is canopied the whole very, lots of Creek views - scenic ride.
First time on this trail and rode gravel bike - had a blast with all the different trail terrain .. other reviews are spot on. This is a very unique trail! We rode in August, starting in Lickdale at Monroe huge parking area (love the grass spots), since the campground preferred people parking there instead of at their lot. Even though I read the reviews, was still surprised at the distance of the old macadam road (FYI .. it’s easy to move out and has lots of speed bumps & deer jump out). It was fun on gravel bike! As you get close to end of trail you’ll cross Swopes Vally Road .. be prepared if you go the next 1.7 miles (Northern Spur) in the summer, you may experience as we did, way overgrown waist high grass, narrow paths with fun dips before you reach the field by Hampton. Was told there is a really good diner across the street. Plan to go back and glad I had my gravel bike for fun and comfort!
Daughter and I completed the trail. Started in Lewisburg went all the way to the other end. Stopped for some light lunch at the Rusty Rail. The food was great. Nice ride back! So many Beautiful Amish barns and farms to take in.
Great family trail. Can make it easy riding. My daughter loved it!! Can’t wait to get back up.
Rode from Birdsboro down and thru Pottstown. Stay out of Pottstown, nothing good about riding in town on those streets. Berks county part of the trail is narrow but smooth cinder. Montgomery county all paved and wider. Want to ride north from Birdsboro some day but confused about unconnected sections.
I came to scope out this and the connecting Conewago Recreational Trail for my wife and her dog trailer. Mostly shady there is a nice variety of woods, fields, and trail side back yards and regular benches. The surface is well maintained with mowed grass shoulders most of the way. For a midweek morning ride I saw a dozen walkers, another dozen bikers, two folks on horseback, along with a fawn and some smaller critters actually on the trail.
