Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful! Serene and peaceful trail with a lot of beautiful nature to see. Bring your camera.
2 nice bridges and lots of rest areas. There is a lot of chalk that comes up from the trail I just did it on a 100 degree day. That was a mistake. It looks like they added new parking spots. I recommend it
This trail is a very pleasant ride, however, riders should be aware that there are no restrictions as far a e-bikes are concerned. I've seen electric bikes that are little less than electric motorcycles. Expect to see electric scooters, but don't expect them to announce themselves before passing. I see many young mothers with their children, either in strollers or on bikes. Its just a matter of time before a fast moving e-bike and a child collide.
For the most part the trail itself is in good condition. There is a rough area near mile marker 3, but its only about 50 yards long and another rough stretch near mile marker 7, just past the Mount Gretna turn off. That section is about 1/4 to 1/2 mile long.
There are multiple portable toilets along the trail, however the one at Lawn ,mile marker 2, is ( and has been for at least a year ) disgusting. also the one at the Root Beer Barrel parking lot has recently gotten worse, but not as bad as Lawn.
There are, as mentioned by others, too many e-bike riders who don't respect others on the trail, They pass without giving warning, ride beyond the posted trail speed limit and most importantly ride other than class 1 e-bikes.
Finally, why do some riders insist on having bright headlights or taillights? I can understand if you are riding on a road, but what purpose do they serve when riding ln a trail?
Very pretty, flat trail. Suggest parking in the lot in Downingtown and following the trail then connecting to the Uwchlan Trail and back. Eagles nest was seen here-multiple photographers out taking photos. Nice memorial site at the beginning-nice place to sit and reflect with beautiful trees. Very pleasant trail.
Please update the Hanover Trolley Trail map. The new section is just beautiful!
There are too many fast bikes on these trails. There is going to be an accident where someone get hit by an e bike of these trails. Someone is going to get hurt badly. A guy when by me yesterday with an ebike with two bags on the back side of the bike, he was going over 20 mph and startled me as he went by.
I'm a new super fan of rails to trails! Loved this ride. Especially Travelers Coffee and market. ¿¿¿¿¿¿
First time with my new bike! It was a cool morning so hardly anyone out….and then the afternoon came. Kids. Dogs. Ugh. But all good. It was a super fun ride. In the beginning some of the asphalt buckles or tree roots lifting it up so you will feel the bumps
This trail keeps getting better- It now has an awesome newly re-graveled sibling trail for bikers, the Conewago Recreation trail, which adds another 5 miles. I road yesterday from Elizabethtown all the way to Cornwall (Rootbeer barrel) and back (30 miles round trip) all smooth. Stopped by Mt Gretna Pizzeria- very close to the trail and no worries about traffic. Also stopped at Colebrook Crossing (ice cream shop!!!), which is so close to trail you can watch people riding while you enjoy a rootbeer float LOL
I drove out today as I was excited for a nice long trail but 2 miles in I was going to turn around because the stones were so large, it was a very bumpy ride. I went out 5 hoping it would improve but it did not. Ugh then 5 back. If paved it will be great. It was also 2 1/2 miles of unpaved dusty, potholed road in which was also a big turnoff.
