Warwick to Ephrata Rail Trail

The Ephrata Warwick trail experience

July, 2025 by billythekid1031

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.

Schuylkill River Trail

Overly Aggressive Bike Riders and Dangerous Speedway

July, 2025 by luv-2-run

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.

Slate Heritage Trail

The trail is in great condition. Coming from the D&L is a little tricky to find. It runs along Trout creek and starts out paved. It's beautiful scenery and wildlife tucked. Well maintained. Signs along the route. Ends in Slate Park

Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail

Beautiful Trail - Challenging for a Chubby Grandma!

July, 2025 by l.greybill1963

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!

Warwick to Ephrata Rail Trail

Really fun ride

July, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

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.

Greater Hazleton Rails to Trails

An ok trail. Nice parking. No restrooms. Tree-lined. Crushed stone. Watch out for the BEARS! Saw one on the trail. Bring bug spray!

Lancaster Junction Trail

Nice, Short Trail

July, 2025 by jims216

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.

Perkiomen Trail

Trail is in great condition

July, 2025 by bermandab

I rode today - 7/6/25 - from Oaks about 3/4 of the way to Green Lane Park and back. My first time on this trail in a couple of years. I know there may have been some extra maintenance after storms recently but I found the condition of the trail to be the just about the best that I can ever remember. I ride a mostly road bike which sometimes struggles if the gravel gets too deep or loose in places, but a really smooth and enjoyable ride start to finish today.

Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail

Well-done

July, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

There are some climbs at points, but that makes for some fun downhills. Trail is smooth and easy to follow.

Stony Valley Rail-Trail

Nice improvement

June, 2025 by forchek11

Beautiful surroundings, completely shaded. Stones are a little large but nicely compacted. Nice improvement over just maybe two years ago. Saw some wildlife and not many other riders on a Saturday afternoon

Conewago Recreation Trail

Pretty easy ride

June, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It’s definitely a rail-trail: pretty straight and flat. This trail reminded me of the Torrey C Brown trail in northern MD. It was a little rough, but certainly not unridable or even particularly unpleasant on my 700C hybrid bike.

Schuylkill River Trail

New bridge

June, 2025 by jayneweinhold

Pedaled from Kernsville Dam to just south of Auburn, 6 miles one way. Really nice section of trail. The new bridge over the river between Stony Creek trailhead and Auburn is open. Didn’t have time to pedal all the way to Auburn, had to turn back.
