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.

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

Great trail year round

June, 2025 by 699vf9dfnt

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

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.

We loved this trail. We went from Cape Henlopen to Rehoboth , then took this trail back to the campground. It was beautiful!!

Enola Low Grade Trail

No access at Atglen

May, 2025 by janemmms

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.

Enola Low Grade Trail

Kinda boring at times, but great for long rides

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

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.

MA & PA Heritage Trail

Crowded but manageable

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

I often had to slow down for pedestrians on a weekend in February. Has some brief but aggressive climbs. Excited for the final piece to open soon.

Brandywine Creek Path

Best City Park

March, 2025 by chris.tijerino

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.

MA & PA Heritage Trail

Getting longer

March, 2025 by finman57

The map shows the trail stopping at Main Street in Bel Air. Another mile has been added to that. It’s been there a couple of years and now they are working on a new section. When done this will connect the two sections that are existing. While this is the closest trail to me I seldom ride it because of two things. 1 is it does not really follow the old rail bed the whole time. Because of this it has some major hills. 2 is that it is to crowded for me. All personal opinions.
