Beautiful ride through woodlands and farmland. The crushed stone can be a little tricky in spots where it is slightly piled up and a couple of gravelly spots. There are a few small hills and a short ride alongside busy Forked River Road. I would like to go again during peak foliage.
I just moved back to the Philadelphia area. The Chester Valley Trail continues to be one of my favorites. I’m a mid-level road biker and this trail suits me well. The CVT is in beautiful shape: lots of trees and the western half in particular is very bucolic. Yes there are road crossings and some traffic noise, but honestly, the tree cover and the quality of the trail make up for any issues. I also like it because it’s not as busy as the SRT (another excellent ride and great for faster riders or the Perkiomen)
Really enjoy walking this trail either by myself or with friends/my dogs. It’s well kept and maintained. I feel safe at all times. Everyone is friendly and the park employees are always up and down the main trail. There are so many sights to see from the water/ponds/rivers to statues and old colonial style type structures.
Right next to the Brandywine Creek, mostly level. Easy to access. Great views.
Right next to the Brandywine Creek, nice level trail.
One of our favorite rides. Lots of shade for a hot days ride. We park at the back right side of the High School, there’s easy access to the trail.
I started in bristol and made it to point pleasant so far. I've seen stuff I have never seen. I love riding this trail.
One of my favorite trails in the area. Lots of parking at the High Bridge trail head
The bikeway is used as a pet toilet for developments that run alongside, very few bother to clean up after their pet, disgusting. Bring a club with you to fight off aggressive, untrained dogs too.
The asphalt surface is dangerously uneven from tree roots pushing thru. The debris hasn't been cleaned off in years, so you don't know what under the dead leaves and pine needles.
Watch out for wild motorcycle riders, ebikes, and 4 wheelers roaring by. Crossing streets along the path can be deadly. Most cars fly into the intersection without being aware!
I now ride in the street where its safer!
This is really a nice trail. Parking is very convenient to access the trail as well and you can access many retailers and restaurants including a grocery store easily from that trail (if you want to run in and get a quick drink). Plus access to the park on that trail. Plan to come back with my bicycle and bike the trail. Looking forward to the extension up into Newtown.
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.
