D&L Trail

Rode the trail yesterday from the Tannery to Jim Thorpe. Saw 7 snakes. 4 young rattlesnakes.Lots of ppl with dogs and young kids riding ahead of them. Please keep an eye out. They were in the road and along the side trying to get warm.

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

great!

May, 2026 by nature.lover.3

First time with my new bike! It was a cool morning so hardly anyone out….and then the afternoon came. Kids. Dogs. Ugh. But all good. It was a super fun ride. In the beginning some of the asphalt buckles or tree roots lifting it up so you will feel the bumps

Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail

A premier trail in PA

May, 2026 by tim.deardorff

This trail keeps getting better- It now has an awesome newly re-graveled sibling trail for bikers, the Conewago Recreation trail, which adds another 5 miles. I road yesterday from Elizabethtown all the way to Cornwall (Rootbeer barrel) and back (30 miles round trip) all smooth. Stopped by Mt Gretna Pizzeria- very close to the trail and no worries about traffic. Also stopped at Colebrook Crossing (ice cream shop!!!), which is so close to trail you can watch people riding while you enjoy a rootbeer float LOL

Stony Valley Rail-Trail

Was so excited....

April, 2026 by allyoop3412

I drove out today as I was excited for a nice long trail but 2 miles in I was going to turn around because the stones were so large, it was a very bumpy ride. I went out 5 hoping it would improve but it did not. Ugh then 5 back. If paved it will be great. It was also 2 1/2 miles of unpaved dusty, potholed road in which was also a big turnoff.

Swatara Rail-Trail

Next time a shorter ride, but more enjoyable.

April, 2026 by sees

On 4/3/2026 my daughter and I rode the trail for a 21 mile ride starting at the north end of trail, at the Hampton Inn. It is hard to call this part of the trail a trail. We rode down someone’s driveway and along the edge of their yard. Then there was a mud path just wide enough for our tires with several large mud puddles. After the Swopes Valley Road parking area the trail is a wide crushed stone trail, a little rougher than a normal rail trail due to the fact that equestrians can use this part of the trail. After the pedestrian bridge the trail is smother. This trail would be a great trail to ride in the fall when the leaves are changing. The next time we ride this trail we will start at the Swopes Valley Road parking area and ride south to the Lickdale trailhead and have a picnic lunch or continue to the end of the trail to eat at Wendy’s or subway, maybe even get some ice cream.

Luzerne County National Recreation Trail

Pittston Trail

April, 2026 by brian.oboyle81

It’s nice, but it’s really short. I hope they do a trail along the railroad tracks to connect Wilkes-Barre to Scranton.

Union Canal Trail

misinformation in the trail info leads to wasted time

March, 2026 by megan.a.lemon

0 stars if I could. Nowhere in the information anywhere on here does it say pets aren’t allowed, so I thought this would be a nice shady walk for my dog on a sunny day only to drive all the way there and see no pets signs everywhere. Waste of time and gas.

D&L Trail

Seriously a fun and beautiful toe path trail that puts you in the middle of the Delaware River and the canal..stop in quaint villages ( ie: New Hope, Lambertville) for a bit to eat or stay the night

Perkiomen Trail

The perk

December, 2025 by twinbonz5

The hardest part is making it over springmount. I love the trail. I do it often. Made the 45 miles.

Conewago Recreation Trail

Now this Trail is 5 stars¿¿

November, 2025 by tim.deardorff

This trail has been resurfaced and it totally makes a HUGE difference… thank you to all who got this done- I was able to ride 30 miles round trip on both trails all the way to the Root Beer Barrel and back. Bikers have no more worries going to the county line or further!

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

One of the best!

October, 2025 by pjcobra

This is one of the best trails around. Paved. Short stretch onto a couple of blocks in Marietta with little to no MV traffic. Very scenic, along river, through woods and fields, along cliffs. Winding through woods, strait ways through fields and a park. Close to level, slight rise and fall along river. Well maintained. Super ride. I saw reviews from electric bikers but really they should stick to public streets. Better yet, buy a motorcycle or some other licensed motor vehicle.
