Hands-down amazing trail. It’s a nice wooded adventure, especially east of Riverfront Park, and it’s twisty! Not enough to really impede a good ride. I like the twists; they made the trail interesting in ways many rail trails don’t. Highly recommend for riders of all levels.
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.
This is a great urban trail. Lots of road-crossings, as you can expect being in the city. Note that the parking listed on the map is private; I had to park on Edgar St. I also found an unlisted expansion to the south.
This trail is straight-up amazing. I have nothing else to say.
The Brandywine is the perfect city park. It connects most every neighborhood along the Brandywine river. Plenty of space for joggers, kids, dogs and folks who use walking aids. Scenic, clean and minimal noise pollution.
I started at city island and headed up river which is nice- you might have a hard time following at times as you go along the backside of Harrisburg- the path at Farmshow complex is closed due to repairs. I found that having this app or having trail loaded on bike computer is a very big help combined with the green belt signs to reinforce. Seems to be a lot of areas with construction. Some parts of the trail are on streets or crossing streets… so be prepared for traffic… I used bright clothing and my flashing bikes to lights.. this might be a better for walking or running
We rode from the Cementon trailhead out 10 miles to Slatington and back on March 19, 2025 and were disappointed in the conditions of the trail. Encountered large stones throughout the ride unlike the crushed stone base we experienced in previous rides in the spring of 24 and fall of 22. It was if someone maintaining the trail deposited large ballast rocks all along the trail surface really impacting the surface normally smooth ride. Also had to navigate many miles of bumpy tire tracks.
Great trail. Hoping for northward extension soon. Lunch at The Steam Pub in Southampton right next to the trail is a must for me. Don’t forget to head south, too, onto the contiguous Pennypack Rail Trail. It was extended last year (2024) into Philadelphia to SEPTA’s Fox Chase Regional Rail station. If you start there, you must pay to park at all times. The lot is managed by the city, not SEPTA. Continue even farther into center city Philadelphia with your bike on the train. See SEPTA’s website for rules regarding bicycles.
I walk here often with my dog. If you’re on a bike coming up behind me, or if you are running and approaching from behind me, I can’t hear you!! Naturally my dog will shy or jump up due to a startle. Please use a bell or call out. Thanks!
Such a nice walk with great views and walked 7.5 miles !! Great place, with great scenery!
Wasn't sure how it was going to be, but it ended up being very cool ¿ and a lot of neat things found along the way!! Probably will walk it again in the spring time!
