Recent Trail Reviews

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

Monroe Township Bike Path

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

Monroe Township Bike Path

Great trail year round

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.

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.

Gwynns Falls Trail

Fun ride; sketchy in eastern half

May, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

Some parts east of Carroll Park were a bit sketchy. That said, I love the variety that this trail brings. Western part is very well-signed and doesn’t even feel like city. Eastern part is a bit more confusing (I definitely recommend having the map open). This was a fun 2 rides.

Gwynns Falls Trail

Decidedly mixed experience, probably won't repeat

April, 2025 by julie.lundquist

Rode south from Inner Harbor to MedStar Harbor Hospital, a decidedly mixed experience. The "urban" part is tricky, not well-signed, and lots of crumbly asphalt and broken glass. The spot where the Middle Branch Trail/E Coast Greenway hits Russell St (south of Top Golf, just north of the Wheelabrator) is also a spot for people to gather, didn't feel very safe. (It was neat to see Gwynnda the Good Wheel of the West near there, however.) The "Westport" section of the trail feels very exposed: deserted industrial with occasional cars with opaque windows...once you arrive to the Middle Branch Park, the trail is more park-like but not well-populated even on a beautiful day and the trail is not in great condition. Pretty views of Baltimore from the coast. If you're departing from the inner harbor, would recommend just biking out to Fort McHenry instead - a bit more traffic but feels significantly safer and much nicer.
