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?
26 flat miles between Jim Thorpe and White Haven. The section from White Haven south to Rockport is crushed stone and we did it on road bikes with 25mm tires no problems. Going north from Jim Thorpe, there were washouts filled with sand and wider tires would have been nice.
The trail goes downhill 1-2% as you head south.
We parked at Veteran's park in Richland Twp (trail starts near the flagpole/handicapped parking area behind the baseball fields) and rode this trail that connected seamlessly with the Saucon Rail-Trail about 6.6 miles out to DeSales University and back. E-bike friendly, dog friendly. Would only use a jogging stroller with sturdy wheels. One minute you are in a shady tree lined area with big boulders then suddenly on a short but cute boardwalk to cross a marshy area. Kept it interesting. Few easy road crossings along the way. Relaxing and beautiful ride. So glad for this addition to my community
Jennifer and I rode the section north of White Haven to Black Diamond Trailhead and then turned around and rode back White Haven on 6/5/2026 for a 21.8-mile ride. If you like to ride thru the woods this section of the trail is a good section for that it is also is a good ride on a hot sunny day, lots of shade. We did not like the parts where there were only 2 dirt paths with grass between them. There is an increase in elevation of approx. 638 feet, to us it was a noticeable grade, it did the return trip more enjoyable. We will ride this section of the trail again.
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.
We left Lewisburg and got about five miles in and it's closed. They are resurfacing parts of the trail.This was Memorial Day 2026
Rode the trail yesterday from the Tannery to Jim Thorpe. Saw 7 snakes. 4 young rattlesnakes.Lots of ppl with dogs and young kids riding ahead of them. Please keep an eye out. They were in the road and along the side trying to get warm.
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.
It's better from Carbondale to NY. You could park at 1 Morris Ave in Simpson and it is a beautiful Trail clean up to New York state border.
On 4/3/2026 my daughter and I rode the trail for a 21 mile ride starting at the north end of trail, at the Hampton Inn. It is hard to call this part of the trail a trail. We rode down someone’s driveway and along the edge of their yard. Then there was a mud path just wide enough for our tires with several large mud puddles. After the Swopes Valley Road parking area the trail is a wide crushed stone trail, a little rougher than a normal rail trail due to the fact that equestrians can use this part of the trail. After the pedestrian bridge the trail is smother. This trail would be a great trail to ride in the fall when the leaves are changing. The next time we ride this trail we will start at the Swopes Valley Road parking area and ride south to the Lickdale trailhead and have a picnic lunch or continue to the end of the trail to eat at Wendy’s or subway, maybe even get some ice cream.
