United States Avenue Trail

Enjoyable for sure

September, 2024 by jennifer279

Recently biked this paved trail then peeled off to explore Blueberry Hill trails. I have a mountain bike with tires able to cruise streets and the gravel--I had some trouble in the deeper sandy areas close to the quarry. I loved exploring back here, as there are paved trails in BH but also the more typical rolling hill wooded trails too. I made it an 11-mile ride as I was also stopping for some geocaches in the Blueberry Hills.

Ben Cardin C&D Canal Recreational Trail

Perfect first trail ride for our new bikes. We went a little further on the trail to do 2.9 miles both ways. The single hill is a nice touch for the exercise. View of the water was a nice touch as well for scenery.

Schuylkill River West Trail

Little more income than what we like in such a short distance. Not much to see along the route did not see river until close to 422.

Schuylkill River Trail

Fantastic Trail!!

September, 2024 by marotta4446

My husband and I use this trail a lot with our electric bikes. Well maintained but I do have concerns about some of the shallow rooted trees that must be trimmed and/or removed. Amy Marotta

Gloucester Township Health and Fitness Trail (aka Blackwood Railroad Trail)

The tunnel is finally asphalt and the barriers are gone. We are finally about to finish the trail on the other side of 42 again. Yay! Let's hope that actually extend it like they plan on doing.

D&L trail between Jim Thorpe & Weissport

September, 2024 by m9xg8p9csd

Does anyone know if the trail is open between Jim Thorpe train station & Weissport is open? We are heading there this weekend of 9/13-15/2024. It’s been closed for most of the spring/summer season 2024 for construction. Just curious if we shout just head to the Weissport parking lot. Although the trail between JT & Weissport is a fun ride.

Way too confusing if you are not from the area- the map does help very much.

Perkiomen Trail

Much Improved

September, 2024 by zave smith

It has been around five years since I last rode on the Perkiomen Trail. My memory of it is lots of ruts, pot holes, and loose gravel around the Collegeville area. Today we rode from Oaks to Central Perkiomen Valley Park and was pleasantly surprised by how much the trail bed has been improved. There are even nice crossing lights on the major roads. A big thanks to whoever was behind these improvements.

Monroe Township Bike Path

Absolute Favorite Trail... Top 3 I've ever Biked...

August, 2024 by traillink989

I think you'll really enjoy this trail. I've biked it over a dozen times, and it never disappoints. One of my favorite activities is riding this trail with some friends, drinking and driving and and doing a few sprints. The trail is very clean, and the only issue I’ve had was with gnats once, but my sunglasses took care of that. The path is mostly shaded, with about 80% of it lined with beautiful, towering trees that provide a cool breeze. It runs alongside townhomes and farmlands, adding to the scenic experience.

We usually park near the health facility off the main road and start our ride by the large metal tube factory.

p.s. - i always feel bad for the people who skateboard or walk this monster because when you gotta turn around it's a heck of a walk...

Cooper River Trail

Distance

August, 2024 by bizzstuff01

I don’t believe the 10 plus mile distance is correct when viewing the trail map on the app. It is closer to 7 miles. Also the webpage trail map differs from the app map that may partially explain the difference.

Enola Low Grade Trail

Not a favorite

August, 2024 by jvirago

As someone else noted, this basically seems like a fairly well maintained access road for the company that owns the utility poles that line the entire route--on both sides of the trail for the first several miles, accompanied by chain link fencing on the river side. The trail is relatively flat, crushed limestone, wide, hot and sunny, with very little shade provided along its entire length. As a staff member at Columbia Crossing visitor center suggested, it would be a fine trial to ride at peak fall foliage time, as it runs directly along the Susquehanna and you could enjoy the colors on its opposite bank of trees for the first 10 miles or so. But to my taste, there's little reason to continue beyond that unless you're just trying to get your mileage in. Well before the Martic Forge trestle the trail diverges from the river and becomes a wide, hot, green tunnel with no towns, interests, or services until its abrupt end.
