Bloomsburg Area Recreation Trail

Beautiful and Comfortable Trail

Bloomsburg did an outstanding job in creating trail. We go further to the fairgrounds. Beautiful and comfortable ride. No need for e-bike!

Slate Heritage Trail

Gorgeous Greenway Through The Slate Belt

August, 2025 by jmcginnis12@gmail.com

Constructed along the route of an old rail line that once served several slate quarries, the 3.3-mile Slate Heritage Trail celebrates one of the resources that once played a prominent role in the economy of the Lehigh Valley.
Much like the nearby Ironton Trail is an outdoor, linear museum devoted to the iron and cement industries, the Slate Heritage Trail treats users to ruins of the local quarries, most notably the NY Tunnel Quarry, so named because the tunnels mined into cliffside reminded the owner of the NY subway system. Slate heaps left from other quarrying operations can be seen off the trail further west and the towns that the trail connects, Slatington, Emerald and Slatedale, all attest to the role that the grey rock played in the development of the region.
The trail's route through a wooded greenbelt provides serenity and welcome shade in the warmer months of the year and people can often be seen fishing in the aptly named Trout Creek. The trail has a smooth, asphalt surface through Slatington, the largest and easternmost town, but turns to crushed stone at the quarry east of Emerald. Although the western segment of the trail has been repaired since the floods a couple years back, the surface is pretty loose, so cyclists should be careful. The section from Emerald to Slate Dale is also notable for the lush forests it passes through, giving the feeling of being in rural NE PA to the north rather than the suburban Lehigh Valley.
Other highlights mentioned in earlier reviews include the slate benches, several of which double as memorials devoted to the deceased, the covered bridge situated halfway between Slatington and Emerald and the remains of a demolished RR bridge in the latter town.
Although the trail itself is only a little over 3 miles in length, it links to the much longer D&L Trail on its eastern end and could possibly be extended west toward Jacksonville and Kempton in the future.

Perkiomen Trail

One of my regular trails

August, 2025 by okpilak20061

I basically do the trail from Oaks to Schwenksville. From where I start my bicycling on the SRT, that is a 45 mile round trip. For years, there was sewer line replacement along the river, which resulted in a temporary line along the early part of the trail, but when they finished, a large portion was resurfaced with firmly packed gravel, making for easy riding. It is shaded, so cool on hot days. The two road crossings early on (Cedar Mill and Arcola) can be a bit tricky, but it seems signage for motorists has helped, and for crossing Rte 29, there are overhead flashers, which really help. Sections that used to be less fun after rains have seen asphalt laid, which is helpful. There is a small cafe in Schwenksville that can be nice to visit. The trail is not usually crowded, with more walkers than bicyclists. There is water and rest rooms at both Lower Perkiomen Valley Park and Central Perkiomen Valley Park. One can also access the Audubon Trail to get to the James Audubon Center from Lower Perkiomen Valley Park.

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!

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

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