Great trail to get your exercise on. Now it’s tied in with the Upper Bucks trail so it’s about 25 miles round trip. Scenic and quiet. Pass by the Saucon Valley Country Club, large “starter castles” in Weyhill, and ride as you meander by the Saucon creek. I love this trail and ride it quite often. There’s a slight grade going south that you really don’t notice until you head back north. It’s ever so slight but if you’re riding a bike you’ll feel the difference. Well maintained and clean. Highly recommend the Saucon Rail Trail.
Has parking at both ends of the trail. Very wide walking trail, shaded area year round. Not enough trash cans for dog poop.
Road from kintnersville to Erwinna. Beautiful scenery. Saw a muskrat, Ducks and turtles. Trail narrows at times. We went on a week day. I am sure the weekends with more people would become challenged at points. All gravel trail.
Overall it’s a nice trail, it’s a little short but is good for beginners.
The Lions Trail is super short, but it connects to the Struble Trail. The parking lot has been updated and is a good meeting area, if you’re planning to go on the Struble Trail.
I rode this trail for the second time. The last time I rode it was almost 7 years ago. The surface is packed gravel and can be ridden with just about any type of bike. I rode my hybrid without any slippage. There are a few streets crossings but cars stopped for me each time. At the beginning of the trail in Long Valley, there are horse farms and in the last few miles before High Bridge, keep an eye out for the gnome homes. Much of the trail flanks the Raritan River. There are a few places along the way to get coffee or a snack. Great ride for all levels.
The trail is in a word... AWESOME!!! Beautifully traversing the shore line with multiple picturesque opportunities! A true Monmouth County jewel!!!
Started at the trail end near Phoenixville did 11 miles towards Oaks. It was a beautiful day and not many people on trail. Most of the way the views were great and trail was very wide. Some hills but not to bad.
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.
I’ve biked on some of the best trails in Pennsylvania including the Heritage, Buffalo Valley, and Pine Creek but none of them are as nice as the Perkiomen! I started on the trail near Spring Mountain Ski Area which was still open despite it being a 60’s early Spring day. There’s a nice parking area there that is shared by trail users and skiers. If you start there, be prepared for a monster sized hill about a half mile up the trail, besides that it’s challenging but good for intermediate to advanced bikers with some small hills mixed in. The best part of the trail from where I started seems to be from Schwenksville to Collegeville, although I didn’t bike on the section from Green Lane to Spring Mount.
Scenic and great for beginners. Lovely trail along the water.
