Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

Northwest Lancaster trail

July, 2026 by daria.schaible10

I did this with a friend on Friday 07/17/2026- 7/18/2026 . We rode from Columbia River Center to Riverfront park in E Donegal township on Friday and Saturday returned to the park and rode up to the end at Falmouth . It was an enjoyable ride with the twists and turns and the view of Schock‘s mill bridge and riding between the corn fields . Also saw a lot of cardinals .

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

Nearby Gem -- Will Definitely Revisit

July, 2026 by lmstravel42

I recently learned of the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail and can't believe I've lived around an hour away from it most of my life and had never heard of it before. I walked the first 2.5 miles and will finish the trail in segments later this year. Very popular with bicyclists, walkers, dog walkers, families, seniors, you name it. Best of all, the trail passes through historic towns that most folks would never stop and visit. A true game waiting to be discovered or rediscovered.

Frankford Creek Greenway

Not So Greenway

July, 2026 by jmcginnis12@gmail.com

During the past two decades, I have been on numerous urban trails that link parks, historical sites and cultural centers, helping to revitalize old neighborhoods and improving quality of life to residents of our cities.
This Frankford Creek Greenway, unfortunately, is not one of these trails. Most of the trail's route runs past salvage yards and other industries in a sketchy part of town. The site of the colonial-era Wheatsheaf Tavern, which was demolished in 2007, is now an overgrown, trash-strewn lot marked by a hand made sign and the only real green space is the strip of vegetation between Lewis St. and active Norfolk Southern/NJ Transit RR tracks. One positive feature of this section is that it provides opportunities for railfans to get good views of freight and commuter trains that frequently pass by.
Although most of the trail's asphalt surface is in good condition, the same cannot be said about the short concurrency with Richmond St. As of mid-2026, the markings directing cyclists to use the street and pedestrians onto the sidewalks have faded and are hard to make out as sections of both have crumbled away. Both the street and sidewalk are now very rough and badly in need of repairs.
In all fairness, the trail does provide a mostly offstreet link from Aramingo Ave. to the Port Richmond Trail and will eventually be extended northwest to the Tacony Creek Greenway. It is also part of both The Circuit and East Coast Greenway and will likely get more attention once all of these trails are joined together. In the meantime, it serves as little more than a connector to other, more scenic paths.

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful! Serene and peaceful trail with a lot of beautiful nature to see. Bring your camera.

Enola Low Grade Trail

nice trail

July, 2026 by aldo_desalvo

2 nice bridges and lots of rest areas. There is a lot of chalk that comes up from the trail I just did it on a 100 degree day. That was a mistake. It looks like they added new parking spots. I recommend it

Warwick to Ephrata Rail Trail

Nice trail

June, 2026 by adsaxs

Parked at the parking lot of the Warwick Twp Municipal Bldg in Lititz which is MM4 and cycled to the end at Ephrata. There is a bikeshare station in the parking lot, if needed.

The trail surface is a mix of crushed stone/grave and paved and is well-maintained. The trail ends unceremoniously at Ephrata.

On the way back, we stopped at BBQ restaurant along the trail just outside of Ephrata which I would recommend.

I would recommend riding this trail.

Isaac Branch Greenway Trail

Peaceful

June, 2026 by donutdiva05

Great paved trail which is mostly shaded. It starts around the Microtell Hotel and ends up at the DMV. I haven't seen any bikers but often there are walkers and joggers.

Warwick to Ephrata Rail Trail

pleasant ride, but ...

June, 2026 by joelkring

This trail is a very pleasant ride, however, riders should be aware that there are no restrictions as far a e-bikes are concerned. I've seen electric bikes that are little less than electric motorcycles. Expect to see electric scooters, but don't expect them to announce themselves before passing. I see many young mothers with their children, either in strollers or on bikes. Its just a matter of time before a fast moving e-bike and a child collide.

Struble Trail

great short trail

June, 2026 by dalderfer

Very pretty, flat trail. Suggest parking in the lot in Downingtown and following the trail then connecting to the Uwchlan Trail and back. Eagles nest was seen here-multiple photographers out taking photos. Nice memorial site at the beginning-nice place to sit and reflect with beautiful trees. Very pleasant trail.

Rancocas Creek Greenway Trail

Enjoyable paved trail along the creek with parking at either Pennington Park or Amico island . Fairly short on- road section which includes a segment over a bridge which is best attempted during low traffic times, but there is a walkway .
