During the past two decades, I have been on numerous urban trails that link parks, historical sites and cultural centers, helping to revitalize old neighborhoods and improving quality of life to residents of our cities.
This Frankford Creek Greenway, unfortunately, is not one of these trails. Most of the trail's route runs past salvage yards and other industries in a sketchy part of town. The site of the colonial-era Wheatsheaf Tavern, which was demolished in 2007, is now an overgrown, trash-strewn lot marked by a hand made sign and the only real green space is the strip of vegetation between Lewis St. and active Norfolk Southern/NJ Transit RR tracks. One positive feature of this section is that it provides opportunities for railfans to get good views of freight and commuter trains that frequently pass by.
Although most of the trail's asphalt surface is in good condition, the same cannot be said about the short concurrency with Richmond St. As of mid-2026, the markings directing cyclists to use the street and pedestrians onto the sidewalks have faded and are hard to make out as sections of both have crumbled away. Both the street and sidewalk are now very rough and badly in need of repairs.
In all fairness, the trail does provide a mostly offstreet link from Aramingo Ave. to the Port Richmond Trail and will eventually be extended northwest to the Tacony Creek Greenway. It is also part of both The Circuit and East Coast Greenway and will likely get more attention once all of these trails are joined together. In the meantime, it serves as little more than a connector to other, more scenic paths.
Great paved trail which is mostly shaded. It starts around the Microtell Hotel and ends up at the DMV. I haven't seen any bikers but often there are walkers and joggers.
Enjoyable paved trail along the creek with parking at either Pennington Park or Amico island . Fairly short on- road section which includes a segment over a bridge which is best attempted during low traffic times, but there is a walkway .
#1 - We started at Clarence Davies Sports Complex BUT as of 5/29/26 the trail is closes due construction. So we accessed the trail from the Atlantic-Cape College Campus. Between the College and Cape May Zoo is the only shades portion. #2 - Once you get south and east of the Zoo you will be in full sunshine. We had a gorgeously cool day with full sunshine and were fine. A sunny Summer day…prepare to cook! #3 - peaceful ride and easy but not very scenic to look at
We love this trail. Almost 13 miles round trip.
Easy to find once you arrive near the schools. It's a wonderful connector path for local residents to ride to the beautiful Smyrna school campus.
Mostly bike lanes along busy roads. The city is beautiful but I was disappointed that I could not find a trail along the water and lake. I even asked a State Trooper and they said that they were not aware of an actual trail.
I went down to Dover and followed the Google map and the trails map and could not find an actual trail. It appears that the trail is nothing but bike lanes on main roads. I asked a state trooper where the Jones River Trail was where there were signs pointing, and she had no idea what the Jones river was. Was very disappointed looking for the trails, but Dover is a beautiful town, especially in the legislative district.
I rode this trail for the first time today (April 24, 2026). Contrary to the current map the trail does extend from the Cynwyd Station to the Bala Station at City Avenue. The extension looks quite new.
Maybe before the spring the phone company Will remove the lines & large tree branch that's stretching across the path...
Rode this trail so many times in my life and it never disappoints, a wonderful experience
