Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

This Trail's got Flow!

June, 2025 by jeffrey.r.schmoyer

Echo a lot of other 5 star reviews, this a beautiful fully paved trail worthy of any biker to make the trip to ride. What I didnt expect is that the designers of this trail got just the right amount of curve and undulation to give a rider that feeling of flow. Varied views, plenty of shade, and some trains nearby but not too close, oh and also Marietta is a cool little town... makes a great divert on one leg to find a lunch spot. If only this tied seamlessly to the Enola lowgrade trail... it nearly does via roads!

Enola Low Grade Trail

Excellent choice for a long, flat ride

June, 2025 by tedreese_tl

“Low Grade” is no exaggeration and this is an excellent trail if you’re looking for a long, flat cruise. As others have commented, the scenic highlights are on the western half of the trail so start at Turkey Hill trailhead if that’s what you’re looking for. Portable toilets at maybe half the trailheads. No easy access to stores/conveniences (except Quarryville) so BYO water and nutrition

Conewago Recreation Trail

Pretty easy ride

June, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It’s definitely a rail-trail: pretty straight and flat. This trail reminded me of the Torrey C Brown trail in northern MD. It was a little rough, but certainly not unridable or even particularly unpleasant on my 700C hybrid bike.

Schuylkill River Trail

New bridge

June, 2025 by jayneweinhold

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.

Heritage Rail Trail County Park

Seven Valleys

June, 2025 by dane.burns

Billie and I rode the trail (some of it) on June 3rd for the first time. Headed South we got to the blockades at main St. I heard commotion under the overpass. I went and talked to the workers. They told me to ride through as the trail is open, but the horses were not removed but will be shortly. We are riding another section today. This by far, is one of the most interesting and beautiful trails we have been on.

Jack A. Markell Trail

Highly enjoyed the paved path, the wildlife sanctuary you ride through. Nice to stop for dinner on the Waterfront in Wilmington. Very nice path

Jonathan Eshenour Memorial Trail

Varied conditions throughout

June, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

The trail is easier to follow than I expected due to the “bike route” signs throughout. It’s in good shape. Multiple times it shares the road for miles at a time, but these roads had very little traffic.

Lykens Valley Rail Trail

Scenic trail through quite areas!

June, 2025 by rorynmarie

Although not totally connected, we found this trail to be delightful. It takes you through some safe, side streets to a fairly flat, forested path. The woodsy part is dirt/gravel and can be a bit challenging, as you need to be aware of the twigs, uneven surfaces,and wildlife. But hey...isn't this why we ride?

Schuylkill River Trail

One word. GREAT. Clean trail, beautiful sight seeing, lovely picnic areas, dog friendly environment... You can't beat it.

Cobbs Creek Trail

Map error

June, 2025 by bgchar6313

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.

Conewago Recreation Trail

My least favorite local trail

May, 2025 by renae1

I live in Northeast Lancaster county and have ridden most trails in this area. The Lancaster part of this trail was repaired with unridable large gravel. The last time I rode it, we stopped and turned around as we worried about the impact on our bikes. It’s a jarring unstable trail surface. We now only ride the Lebanon county part of this trail … which is beautiful, picturesque, shaded, uncrowded, and well maintained.
