Brandywine Creek Path

Best City Park

March, 2025 by chris.tijerino

The Brandywine is the perfect city park. It connects most every neighborhood along the Brandywine river. Plenty of space for joggers, kids, dogs and folks who use walking aids. Scenic, clean and minimal noise pollution.

D&L Trail

Rough Ride not like previous outings

March, 2025 by haldemanjoseph

We rode from the Cementon trailhead out 10 miles to Slatington and back on March 19, 2025 and were disappointed in the conditions of the trail. Encountered large stones throughout the ride unlike the crushed stone base we experienced in previous rides in the spring of 24 and fall of 22. It was if someone maintaining the trail deposited large ballast rocks all along the trail surface really impacting the surface normally smooth ride. Also had to navigate many miles of bumpy tire tracks.

Newtown Rail Trail

Great trail. Head south, too

February, 2025 by carlschrass_tl

Great trail. Hoping for northward extension soon. Lunch at The Steam Pub in Southampton right next to the trail is a must for me. Don’t forget to head south, too, onto the contiguous Pennypack Rail Trail. It was extended last year (2024) into Philadelphia to SEPTA’s Fox Chase Regional Rail station. If you start there, you must pay to park at all times. The lot is managed by the city, not SEPTA. Continue even farther into center city Philadelphia with your bike on the train. See SEPTA’s website for rules regarding bicycles.

Wasn't sure how it was going to be, but it ended up being very cool ¿ and a lot of neat things found along the way!! Probably will walk it again in the spring time!

D&L Trail

Trail Completion

November, 2024 by mdneveling

I love the D&L and ride it often. I’m trying to finish the entire trail and went to complete the northern most section from White Haven to Mountain Top. Unfortunately, about a mile in the amount of downed trees becomes too much (must have been from a storm). I fought through it and walked my bike but it was arduous. Around 4 miles north there was an area with multiple downed trees over the path. It was impassable so I turned around and fought my way back. I’m sad that I’ll have to wait until it’s cleared (hopefully in the spring).

Big Woods Trail (PA)

needs work

November, 2024 by joelkring

This is to update a previous post. We recently rode the section that connects to the SRT and it is in need of major repairs. There are areas that were washed out and filled in with much larger stones. There were also places where there were deep loose stones. As a long time mountain bike rider, I was able to handle these obstacles, but I don't recommend this section of trail, except for walkers.

Schuylkill River Trail

Great trail that runs through Philly

November, 2024 by lvcatfish

Relatively easy access from our hotel (Philly Downtown Marriott). We rode our travel tandem that we packed along for this trip. Beautiful ending of the fall leaves turning. Lots of trail traffic in town but traffic and scenery improved a lot as we got farther out of town. Old homes in a section of Fairmont Park adjacent to the trail are worth stopping to see. Dams and cascading water also create a serene environment worth stopping to absorb for a while.

Monroe Township Bike Path

Trail is mostly in the woods. Flat and smooth. Small trail at the high school football stadium leads to a dog park & clean port-a-potty. Very pretty and relaxing ride.

Schuylkill River Trail

Sketchy SRT in Reading

October, 2024 by ys77whd5c9

We have been biking the Bartram section for years and love it! First time we’ve taken this trail south from bridge near Carpenter entry gate. There were tents under the bridge with the trail getting more and more narrow. We passed a man picking through bags of spilled over garbage. Wonder if there are trail ambassadors or patrols because we weren’t comfortable going further south
