I love going on this trail when riding my bike to work. It's so nice to ride without cars being beside you. When going out early you can see all kinds of wildlife out.
Even though the trail is in an urban setting it is surprisingly lush and beautiful. There is actually a marsh land half way that is a gorgeous place to rest and take some photos. The trail is smooth and pretty flat. Nice enjoyable easy ride.
Right next to the Brandywine Creek, mostly level. Easy to access. Great views.
Right next to the Brandywine Creek, nice level trail.
This trail was very scenic. With farmlands in the distance and nice scenery, which included art, a squirrel Haven to name a few. It’s a good ride or walk. My only issue was it wasn’t properly marked in Ephrata going through town. And there wasn’t an end of trail sign commemorating the trail.
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.
Ditto to the person who wrote the review with questions/answers. Not too difficult with e-bikes. We have ridden this a few time & love it . We travel from Abingdon Md . Good directions where to get on the trail. Mostly flat & wear sunscreen cause you are not covered much by trees. Nice scenery. You will not regret riding this trail.
We have ridden this trail a few times & forgot to leave a review. It is amazing, nice curves/ paved well , goes along river, good signage. Won’t be disappointed. We had e-bikes & cruised along.
I read reviews on All trail site & my husband @ I thought we would try it due to what was posted on more variety of the trail. We would have given it a 5 rating if there was more direction at beginning of trail where to get on by the zoo. Like another reviewer posted it is to your left if you are looking at the zoo & is at the tree line. Also there are many forks in path that get you confused which way to go. Had the GPS which kept us on track. Loved the hills/ forest/ river. The end @ Bellefonte stopped at highway. We had e-bikes so it was really fun. Would do this again. pathBesides this we have e- bikes & loved the hills/ wooded area with bridges.
I started riding this trail in 2018 and rode it 3-5 times a summer. It was a great trail that allowed you to get 12 miles in before riding the Cross Island Trail just 3 miles away. The tree roots have been bulging the asphalt for the past 7 years and now it is so bad I don't know if I will ride it again. For the first 1-2 miles from the start of either end the roots have the asphalt bulged up over two inches. Even riding with a suspension seat post the trail jars your spine unless you are standing on the foot pegs. Since the roots are so numerous this means you would be on the pegs 50 percent of the time. With the financial state that Maryland is in I doubt this trail will be repaired any time in the foreseeable future.
My first time on this trail I rode from 8th Street to Mount Gretna Spur. I am sure experienced in-shape cyclists would find the 4 percent grade (which extends several miles either direction) easy, but I had to put my Schwinn in 1st gear. I need to lose weight, so refuse to get an e-bike! Next time I'll start in Lawn and go to Mt. Gretna and back to complete the trail. Will work on strengthening legs in meantime! A note regarding the Conewago Trail: ballast used on the surface nearly caused me to wreck a few times. Large rocks and ruts - not crushed gravel. Too much time spent watching the trail to avoid falling - it's a shame because the scenery is beautiful. "Gravel Grinders" would love it!
Nice paved surface. Beautiful ride by the river and through wooded sections. For me it's a nice length and you can add on extra miles if you want as it intersects with the SRT and PT. One of the better areas I've ridden.
