This trail is a very pleasant ride, however, riders should be aware that there are no restrictions as far a e-bikes are concerned. I've seen electric bikes that are little less than electric motorcycles. Expect to see electric scooters, but don't expect them to announce themselves before passing. I see many young mothers with their children, either in strollers or on bikes. Its just a matter of time before a fast moving e-bike and a child collide.
26 flat miles between Jim Thorpe and White Haven. The section from White Haven south to Rockport is crushed stone and we did it on road bikes with 25mm tires no problems. Going north from Jim Thorpe, there were washouts filled with sand and wider tires would have been nice.
The trail goes downhill 1-2% as you head south.
Very pretty, flat trail. Suggest parking in the lot in Downingtown and following the trail then connecting to the Uwchlan Trail and back. Eagles nest was seen here-multiple photographers out taking photos. Nice memorial site at the beginning-nice place to sit and reflect with beautiful trees. Very pleasant trail.
We parked at Veteran's park in Richland Twp (trail starts near the flagpole/handicapped parking area behind the baseball fields) and rode this trail that connected seamlessly with the Saucon Rail-Trail about 6.6 miles out to DeSales University and back. E-bike friendly, dog friendly. Would only use a jogging stroller with sturdy wheels. One minute you are in a shady tree lined area with big boulders then suddenly on a short but cute boardwalk to cross a marshy area. Kept it interesting. Few easy road crossings along the way. Relaxing and beautiful ride. So glad for this addition to my community
Jennifer and I rode the section north of White Haven to Black Diamond Trailhead and then turned around and rode back White Haven on 6/5/2026 for a 21.8-mile ride. If you like to ride thru the woods this section of the trail is a good section for that it is also is a good ride on a hot sunny day, lots of shade. We did not like the parts where there were only 2 dirt paths with grass between them. There is an increase in elevation of approx. 638 feet, to us it was a noticeable grade, it did the return trip more enjoyable. We will ride this section of the trail again.
Enjoyable paved trail along the creek with parking at either Pennington Park or Amico island . Fairly short on- road section which includes a segment over a bridge which is best attempted during low traffic times, but there is a walkway .
The trail from Lawrenceville to Hopewell is well maintained, has good signage and has some beautiful views. If you decide to do the loop, be aware that in its entirety it’s about 23 miles, not 19. You also will need to go on some roads and travel through neighborhoods and commercial sites in the trail gap. If I do this trail again, I would only do the first half. The trail from Hopewell to Princeton was not great and honestly not worth the trip.
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.
We love this trail. Almost 13 miles round trip.
Easy to find once you arrive near the schools. It's a wonderful connector path for local residents to ride to the beautiful Smyrna school campus.
