DO NOT TRY THIS TRAIL ON THE ALLEY POND SIDE. CLOSED
Someone is placing man-made objects to cause flat tires on the part of the trail between Newton and Lafayette. Have a spare tube on you just in case. Had to cut my ride short because of a flat caused by a plastic spiked ball placed right in the middle of the trail. Good trail for a mountain bike or a hybrid though. Will come back to complete it.
Construction has been completed on the trail heading north up town. There are now flat concrete square patches where there where bumps and bruise. Smoother ride.
I love it it's a wonderful places to walk
The map isn't really clear where the path picks up from Rockledge Park toward Philly and how long you have to be on roads with cars.
