Started at the southern terminus & rode all the way up and back. It’s a nice trail in pretty decent shape, pretty flat in most places (but not all). Chilly & Windy. If you like wind try riding your bike across these farm fields in the middle of November.
The trail from Milford start point is on k for a few miles but turns to a rocky narrow trail not suitable for a bike , Start at Conashaugh trail head there is only 1 area where you have to walk down 1 set of stairs and go up another otherwise it get great .I wanted to add although I was able have a good ride on my mountain bike I would not recommend the use of any road bike .
I rode this trail on 10/26. It is fine crushed stone with a paved section that heads toward New Egypt. Good ride with some minor grade changes. The ride took a little over 2 hours to complete. Bathrooms and parking areas were nicely spaced on the trail.
The trail is well maintained. Mostly passable with gravel bike except a small portion around Andover. The section around Andover is also hard to navigate.
Riding popular trails in each state Metro, New York area and NE. This trail was above expectation. Well maintained mix of packed gravel to packed stones. All wide capable of handling traffic and any type of biking running and some equestrian.. surprising mix of landscape from River Gorge to large animal farms. Lots to see highly recommended. Road from Bartley Road to Hoffman’s. Entry point Long Valley, Apple parking and food available quaint town.
We decided to start across from the winery, and end our trip there. We went one way and hit roots and railroad ties immediately. We turned around and got the same. Needless to say, the winery was great. Would be a perfect hiking trail. It was beautiful.
I walk on this trail for 1 1/2 hours every day. It’s lovely, varied, not difficult at all. A former rail line, so it’s relatively even terrain. I see deer most days, and cross two bridges—over Route 23/Pompton Avenue and the small Peckman River. I park at the Cedar Grove Community Center, and walk up to the trail. Best time of my day, every single day. Really love how healing Nature here is.
I rode from Harriman to the edge of Goshen. Nice smooth, pavement with little or no bumps. I found some interesting sites and information along the way. I will return to ride the second half of this heritage Trail.
I found out about this website while biking at this trail. It was also the gentleman's first time at the trail also. I was greeted by hellos and smiles along the way...The scenery is very calm and serene....
This is a well maintained beautiful trail. We parked at the trailhead at Levan’s road -nice pavilion and restroom to use. When you come to the loop at the end of the spur going right will avoid the hill people mention. It’s not extreme by any means but it will get your heart rate up a bit. We saw quite a few friendly people riding , walking and running. Loved the signage along the trail sharing the history in this area. April thru October check out the Chuckwagon drive in Ironton. Excellent sandwiches and ice cream.
Like the nearby Ironton Rail Trail, the Nor-Bath Trail follows the route of an old shortline RR that served the mining and concrete industries of the Lehigh Valley.
Nearly 6 miles in length, the trail is part of the LINK network of multi-use greenways that will eventually span the Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton conurbation, connecting communities to each other as well as to more distant metro areas like Philadelphia and Scranton/Wilkes Barre.
From its beginning at Main Street in the suburb of Northampton (a signed route along 10th and Canal streets connects to the D&L Trail a quarter mile to the west), the trail heads east through a series of parks, the surrounding landscape transitioning from residential subdivisions to rural farmscapes. It currently ends at Jacksonville Park, just west of Bath. Plans are underway to extend it into the town itself in the near future.
The diversity of landscapes along the trail's route is its best asset. The first mile or so in Northampton is a rail with trail, paralleling a segment of RR that was kept in use to serve local industries. Rail fans will want to check out the array of train engines and cars in the yard across Clear Springs Drive, while interpretive signage gives the history of the demolished cement mills that once stood on sights since reclaimed by nature.
Heading east from Northampton, the trail passes through residential communities separated by parks, and the asphalt surface gives way to crushed stone. Traces of the RR that remain here include the straightness of the route, rock cuts lined with the layered, sedimentary outcroppings common in the Lehigh Valley and three old bridges that have been repurposed for trail use. Some of the homes along the route also have ornately decorated and landscaped lawns that can be admired from the trail.
The trail leaves suburbia behind and follows a tree-lined route through bucolic farmlands east of Bicentennial Park. This section is some of the most beautiful landscape I have seen in the Lehigh Valley and gives one the feeling of being far away from the bustling cities. I hope the owners of these properties keep the industrial development that has recently popped up near the intersection of Jacksonville and Airport roads from encroaching into them.
Boasting beautiful scenery, a straight route between suburban communities with few at-grade crossings and a smoot, well maintained surface, the Nor-Bath Trail is one of the best greenways in the Lehigh Valley.
