Neshaminy Creek Greenway

Waste

April, 2025 by declanhoobler

If I could give it zero stars I would, such a waste. Ruined the only wooded part of the neighborhood we had left where the kids used to play all day. Tore down dozens of trees for a trail no one uses.

Columbia Trail

Vintage towns on Columbia

April, 2025 by flywithme_tl

Bartley road end a bit noisy with the 3:4 crush stone but not a bad ride , once you hit dirt and the “ Whitestone “ it gets much better of a ride . Not much in the way of stops for food , 1 small deli off the trail in Califon and several eateries 6 miles down at the end in High Bridge. Not much to see along the way but old towns & occasional old houses , however you do see some nice views of the river.

D&L Trail

Rough Ride not like previous outings

March, 2025 by haldemanjoseph

We rode from the Cementon trailhead out 10 miles to Slatington and back on March 19, 2025 and were disappointed in the conditions of the trail. Encountered large stones throughout the ride unlike the crushed stone base we experienced in previous rides in the spring of 24 and fall of 22. It was if someone maintaining the trail deposited large ballast rocks all along the trail surface really impacting the surface normally smooth ride. Also had to navigate many miles of bumpy tire tracks.

Ironton Rail Trail

Beautiful winter ride

January, 2025 by terriannjma_tl

Clear with some snow and ice remaining but easy to ride on a gravel bike. Highly recommend! Amazing displays and history for the area. Only saw one other rider, but several walkers. I will return to do this one again.

Palmer Township Recreation Trail (Towpath Bike Trail)

Trail Condition

January, 2025 by sthomas284

I ride this trail constantly. If you have a street bike, it's best to avoid it as there are sections that are terribly bumpy. Even with a hard tail mountain bike, you'll find yourself with a bone rattling ride. It's a nice scenic trail, I just wish they would update certain sections.

Heritage Trail (NY)

Heritage trail update!

December, 2024 by flywithme_tl

Great trail a must do . FYI bridge #1,2,3,4 were under construction but are now complete and the trail is open complete . When in Monroe just before overpass there is a good burger and place called Wayback burger . You have to pedal through a gas station lot but it’s next door .

D&L Trail

Trail Completion

November, 2024 by mdneveling

I love the D&L and ride it often. I’m trying to finish the entire trail and went to complete the northern most section from White Haven to Mountain Top. Unfortunately, about a mile in the amount of downed trees becomes too much (must have been from a storm). I fought through it and walked my bike but it was arduous. Around 4 miles north there was an area with multiple downed trees over the path. It was impassable so I turned around and fought my way back. I’m sad that I’ll have to wait until it’s cleared (hopefully in the spring).

Susquehanna Warrior Trail

Don't Waste Your Time

November, 2024 by chrisseier

There were a few short sections where the scenery and surface were nice. However, most of the trail is loud, not scenic and VERY rough.

Plainfield Township Recreation Trail

We love the view across the entire trail ;however, it was so bumpy with many parts of the asphalt missing or pushed up from weeds, it took away from the ride.

Karl Stirner Arts Trail

Linear Art Gallery

September, 2024 by jmcginnis12@gmail.com

While profiling the Lehigh Valley trails over the past year, I've noticed that several of them have a particular theme. The Ironton Rail Trail prominently highlights the cement and iron industries that were served by the old RR by taking users past the ruins of several mills and preserving numerous pieces of infrastructure and memorabilia from the RR itself. The D&L Trail, meanwhile, focuses on the role water transportation played in the region's economies as it winds its way past numerous locks and historic buildings that once served the Lehigh and Delaware canals.
Named in honor of a German immigrant who moved to Easton and became a renowned artist, the Karl Stirner Arts Trail celebrates the thriving community he established in the city. The 2.4 mile long trail follows the banks of Bushkill Creek from N. 13th Street to the south end of Lafayette College campus, where it extends into downtown Easton via a concurrency along 3rd Street. Cyclists will appreciate the trail's smooth, asphalt surface, though the shorter, woodchip and earthen nature trail that branches off at about midpoint and passes beneath an abandoned RR bridge is also worth checking out. Caution should also be used on the eastern half of the trail, which mostly follows on-street concurrencies with Bushkill Drive and 3rd Street.
However, the trail is most notable for the numerous sculptures, murals and paintings that line its route. Although several of these works were created by local artists, some came from as far away as California, and one, a gate near the Blue Bridge over Bushkill Creek, was constructed by Stirner himself prior to his death in 2016. Several pieces of infrastructure, including an electrical box and guard fences lining the trail, are also artistically decorated, while the Witness Tree, a giant American Sycamore situated along the trail near the Blue Bridge that has been dated to 1757, is celebrated as a natural work of art. It's also common to see outdoor art classes being conducted. Although the trail, which follows an old RR grade, is level and bicycle friendly, I recommend doing it on foot in order to fully appreciate all it has to offer. Easton's Linear Art Gallery is a fitting tribute to the legacy of one of the region's most influential residents in recent history.

D&H Rail Trail

Some of it is very nice, and some of is VERY rough

September, 2024 by chrisseier

Started in Simpson and headed north. The first 12 miles is very nice, except for the occasional noise from the ATV trail nearby. The next eight miles is a little rough, but not too bad. Then a mile of the trail was very soft, like they were working on the trail. After that, it becomes VERY rough - riding on balast. Some very nice scenery; has the potential to be a great trail - if they ever finish cindering the full length of the trail.
