Pedaled from Kernsville Dam to just south of Auburn, 6 miles one way. Really nice section of trail. The new bridge over the river between Stony Creek trailhead and Auburn is open. Didn’t have time to pedal all the way to Auburn, had to turn back.
Highly enjoyed the paved path, the wildlife sanctuary you ride through. Nice to stop for dinner on the Waterfront in Wilmington. Very nice path
Love this trail. Great all year long. Some areas do have pavement with tree roots popping up so be careful. Also connects to Owen’s Park near the schools in Williamstown
The map shows access to continue on trail at the end of 78th Street. This only accesses a grass field which is not easy to ride on. The paved trail extension begins at the Eastwick playground at 80th and Mars Place. When you get to this extension it is a nice and new trail It goes about a half mile to 84th.

There is no access in Atglen, and no apparent trail. We drove further west to Bart Township along Route 896 parking at the Evergreen Hardware Store. There is a switchback down to the trail. For about two miles in each direction the trail is nice stone dust, but after that, at mile 23.5 turns into the transmission right of way with just a lane, which is okay to ride towards Quarryville. Going east, you can go to about mile marker 26.5 again with a mile or so in stone dust, but getting to Scarborough Twp it is the transmission right of way - just two single lanes, rideable until you get to yellow gates, unpassable unless you walk your bike down and up inclines. Can't say what's from there to AtGlen - it is high grass and TX right of way at best. If you can, drive down to Quarryville - a very nice trail from there west to Turkey Hill.
Nice , pleasant ride though suburban areas, places to stop if one wishes, level with interesting things to see and experience. Side trip into preserves and beautiful Swedenborg church. Missed the connector to the lower part ( thought trail short no wonder) I shell return!
Aesthetic wise a very pleasing experience, everything a trail could have, parks, picnic areas, woods, rural roads, bridges, town, connector trails. Mostly flat with one incline for good measure. Long or short rides . A true delight, a fave!
If I could give it zero stars I would, such a waste. Ruined the only wooded part of the neighborhood we had left where the kids used to play all day. Tore down dozens of trees for a trail no one uses.
Bartley road end a bit noisy with the 3:4 crush stone but not a bad ride , once you hit dirt and the “ Whitestone “ it gets much better of a ride . Not much in the way of stops for food , 1 small deli off the trail in Califon and several eateries 6 miles down at the end in High Bridge. Not much to see along the way but old towns & occasional old houses , however you do see some nice views of the river.
The trail is incredibly straight, so it can seem boring at times, but that also makes long rides easy since you can just go without having to slow down for roads or anything. Eden and Bart townships have done work on improving their segments, and the whole trail, even where it says “unimproved,” is perfectly rideable until Atglen, where it does deteriorate a bit. Overall great trail.
