We started the trail at the point where it branches away from Rte 120. The trail from Emporium to this point looked uninteresting as it parallels the highway. The portion we rode toward St Mary's was more remote, edging along the stream. It was a steady climb toward St Mary's so I recommend that you ride in that direction. The return trip was easy riding down hill. We were disappointed that we did not see any wildlife in such a remote area, but you cannot have everything. The trail condition is decent. The stone is a little on the course side for hybrid and road tires but still very rideable. The trail looks like it is maintained for snow mobiling and the club that maintains it should be complimented for sharing this nice recreational trail.
There is a short spur trail, the Schuylkill Highlands Trail. East of Birdsboro, just after crossing PA 724 at the Fork and Ale restaurant the trail is on the right, there is a sign at the trail junction. The trail climbs via switchbacks through mostly open fields and ends at Crusher Road. There are great views to reward you for the climb. The trail is wide and smooth and climbs at the maximum grade for an ADA trail. You can see the trail on the satellite view of the Thun section of the SRT.
This trail is paved but the asphalt is cracked and in pretty rough shape. Definitely not for skating and biking only at a slow pace. The scenery is great: very quiet for being close to the highway.
This is the great escape that is only minutes from anywhere in NW Philly. The trail system is kept in good shape and it's buzzing with activity with everyone from young to old, serious athlete to just getting some fresh air.
We're trying to ride all of the trails in the area so we were willing to do the 0.7 mile gem. The trail is nice for an urban trail but our distance out and back was only 0.6 miles.
We rode from the small parking lot on Kumby Road, this is not a pan flat trail but the inclines are manageable. There are several feeder trails that branch off to the surrounding neighborhoods. Also, not far from the Allentown Road end of the trail is a new section of trail. Cross the bridge and climb up to Streamtown Way, the trail turns left (there are signs for the trail painted on the sidewalk) after a bend in the road at the bottom of the short downhill the trail turns left between two homes and continues. It ends just after passing a steep dirt trail on the right. The dirt trails goes out to Allentown Road. The whole ride was only 3.2 miles. The trail is scenic and well maintained but signs noting spur trails might be nice.
Not far (by car) from the north end of the Perkiomen Trail or the south end of the Saucon Valley Trail are four short trails just outside of Quakertown. The Barrel Run, the Unami Creek and the Braton Garden/Hunters Crossing trails. The Barrel Run is a ride in the park, well maintained and scenic with a short hill to make it fun. If you don't mind riding on roads you could ride to the other short trails.
We rode the Saucon Valley trail from Hellertown then drove south to the Hatfield area to ride the Hunters Crossing/Brayton Garden trails plus the nearby Barrel Run Trail and the Unami Creek Trail. Other than being very short this is a scenic and well maintained trail.
The trail is nice, but I would not send my wife out there alone. This would be a perfect trail for a predator to prey on a woman out alone. And to agree with the previous review.....an unexpecting unarmed woman. The sign stating no armed weapons is great for the law abiding people that respect the actual sign. However, not sure the people who are wanting to commit a crime would do so. The state allows my wife to carry, the county allows my wife to carry, the city allows my wife to carry. The state parks allow my wife to carry (ie...Woodcock). I think anyone who frequents Woodcock St Park have seen the creepy guys in the woods. We enjoy the trail and the nice scenery, but I give my advice to anyone wanting to protect themselves to find another area to bike where you can defend yourself properly. Unarmed people are weak to the criminals who are armed. It is just a matter of time -
As far as the trail itself, it is a great place to bike and hike.....and a nice facility.
I took my bike (with mountain bike tires on it) and rode the loop. The path is wide and pretty smooth so you don't really need the mountain bike tires. Beautiful day, beautiful place, not overrun with too many people to make it difficult to ride without constantly stopping (wide paths help). The earlier you go, the more birds and wildlife you'll see. It's about a 45 minute ride up I-95 and worth it. Fish, boat, walk or ride, you'll enjoy your time here.
Went for a bike ride on this trail with my boys and it was fantastic! Not too difficult and the trail is shady so for an August day it wasn't too hot. Lots of benches to stop and take a break. There are several street crossings but they have pedestrian blinking lights and the crossings are well marked so I felt safe crossing with my boys. Drivers always slowed down for us to cross. Overall a great trail! Definitely recommend for a family bike ride.
