I love going on this trail when riding my bike to work. It's so nice to ride without cars being beside you. When going out early you can see all kinds of wildlife out.
It was kinda rough for a paved trail. The pavement was bumpy in many places. Most of the trail is impressively wide. Be prepared for many on-street sections and crossings, some of which are busy. Wildwood park has restrooms and water. I enjoyed the ride and will be back someday.
This trail was very scenic. With farmlands in the distance and nice scenery, which included art, a squirrel Haven to name a few. It’s a good ride or walk. My only issue was it wasn’t properly marked in Ephrata going through town. And there wasn’t an end of trail sign commemorating the trail.
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.
We have ridden this trail a few times & forgot to leave a review. It is amazing, nice curves/ paved well , goes along river, good signage. Won’t be disappointed. We had e-bikes & cruised along.
My first time on this trail I rode from 8th Street to Mount Gretna Spur. I am sure experienced in-shape cyclists would find the 4 percent grade (which extends several miles either direction) easy, but I had to put my Schwinn in 1st gear. I need to lose weight, so refuse to get an e-bike! Next time I'll start in Lawn and go to Mt. Gretna and back to complete the trail. Will work on strengthening legs in meantime! A note regarding the Conewago Trail: ballast used on the surface nearly caused me to wreck a few times. Large rocks and ruts - not crushed gravel. Too much time spent watching the trail to avoid falling - it's a shame because the scenery is beautiful. "Gravel Grinders" would love it!
Well-maintained and shady. It was very pleasant, even on a warm summer day! This is definitely worth doing.
This trail was really fun! Easy to zoom-zoom especially eastbound. The unpaved section had some dirt patches but they weren’t really problematic. Rothsville Rd crossing eastbound is a bit risky due to poor visibility. I also saw some stunning views in the Warwick Twp. section. Worth the hour drive.
If you're looking for a nice, short trail, this is excellent. It's shaded and well maintained. Most people are friendly and polite. You can only park at one end.
Rode most of the trail yesterday starting in Railroad, PA on the Heritage Trail and turned around at the old train station in Monkton, MD. Temperature was in the mid-80s, and humidity was high. Because most of the trail was shaded, it was still a great ride. Definitely not a trail for narrow road tires, but still an excellent surface of crushed stone and hard packed dirt. Plenty of restrooms and stops available. Slightly downhill starting in New Freedom, PA into MD for about 6-7 miles and then a typical rail trail of mostly flat and straight sections. Great scenery of wooded areas. Highly recommend for a relaxing ride in the woods.
Great trail close to my home so I get to ride it as often as I want. I’m looking forward to another leg being completed and hoping it doesn’t take 10 years. I took my 9 year old twin grand sons on it and they love it too.
