The trail runs about 5 miles so you can get 10mi roundtrip easily. There are a decent amount of hills and descents. I was impressed with the maintenance of the entire trail.
I parked at the Luken’s Park & Powerline Trail trailhead lot which is the park’s smaller lot on Dresher Rd. The lot was gravel. Trail was paved although not completely smooth but not loose gravel either. There was a pump station entering the trail from the lot. There were frequent benches along the path. The trail had a good amount of walkers, joggers, and bikers (mid week) but no problems with having enough room. It runs along mostly private properties/nice homes and some fields. It was scenic. There were multiple quiet intersections that were well maintained, marked, and most with blinking lights to cross. Pretty much every car stopped for me to cross. I had zero issues at all of the intersections.
When I first walked this trail I had no clue of it’s true size, starting from a bridge opening over the canal near New Brunswick I was simply on a walk and wanted to wander, to my surprise the trail simply kept going and going though, I was walking for miles seeing plenty of wondrous nature, enjoying the sound of the water flowing by me, ducks and turtles and all manner of fauna around me. I felt like I had walked into another world sitting just at the edge of the highly populated busy cities, but they remained on the other side of the river, while I was out in nature. Quickly I knew I was up against a titan of a trail compared to the 10 mile long paths I had gotten good at overcoming, but only after I had moved off the path and gone home did I truly realize how little I had seen. I felt a sense of giddy wonder and accomplishment, as well as curiosity. I had seen so much that day, but in truth, I was only scratching the surface. If you live near an entrance to this trail I implore you to give it a try, it’s not ideal for biking, but to see how far you can walk? It may be the best option in the state.
This is a top tier rail trail for my riding area. I love riding this trail with my wife on our e-bikes all year round unless we get snow or it’s too cold. Plenty of bathrooms.
Being a novice mountain biker, I’d say this trail is a doozy! We bike-hiked for a good portion and then the hubs somersaulted over his handle bars and still we continued, linking up with other trails, until we reached the Cosmic Cafe for hazy IPAs. Goals. We had goals. Needless to say, Cresheim is not for the faint of heart.
I had a great ride. My wife decided not to join me which was a good thing. I took what was supposed to be the easiest sections. They may have been easy for mountain biking, but I was expecting more of a rail trail in those areas. No problem -I had a gravel bike with 44 mm tires which worked fine. Could’ve been a little better marked in some areas, but I did not get lost. I would highly recommend checking out the website for the park, which gives you details on the easiest to the most difficult sections and the mileage between the access areas. Remember, this is not a flat rail trail. There are a lot of flat areas, but there are a lot of twisty turns, short uphill and downhill climbs -as well as bridges. And the terrain is not the smoothest.
Biking around Valley Forge is the best way to visit. You have to take time to stop at various monuments and read everything. This trail has some very steep grades both up and down.
Beautiful Trail! Bridge out in Pennpack Park
Enjoyable trail ride between Mont Claire and Spring City. Two full streets along Main Street Phoenixville full of restaurants and shops blocked off to cars but very E-bike friendly (rules posted…must be 16 or over and bike must meet certain specifications). This section has some easy inclines and takes you past some of the residential apartments (some still under construction) which show the continual growth of this small yuppie town.
I have cycled the D&R numerous times from Frenchtown to Washington Crossing and from Lawrence Township to New Brunswick. I have not ridden through Trenton because I have been told it isn't very safe for a lone rider who doesn't know exactly where the trail begins and ends. The trail along the Delaware is beautiful and very well kept. The trail is wide with crushed stone and easy to navigate on any kind of bike. The trail along the Raritan is nice until you get closer to New Brunswick. The trail is rockier with many potholes and not as well kept, plus there are a few spots where you need to dismount your bike and walk. I highly recommend the D&R for biking, hiking and running.
I have cycled the D&L from Washington Crossing to Uhlerstown a few times. The scenery is beautiful, but the trail itself is not well taken care of. Some parts are completely grown over or only allow one hiker/cyclist to pass at a time. There are also miles of large gravel that I think would be very difficult for road bikes, non-hybrid bikes of hikers with balance issues. It is also very crowded on the weekends.
