Limerick Township, located in Montgomery County outside of Philadelphia, has an ambitious plan to build 8 miles of community trail networks. The trail currently is open in two disconnected segments but there are plans to connect these sections and to connect to other nearby trails.
About the Route
The northern section of the Limerick Township Trails runs through two parks: the Limerick Community Park and Kurylo Preserve. Leaving off in the east, the wide, paved trail runs through the grassy and open Kurylo Preserve. The trail cuts a corner between N Limerick Rd. and Metka Rd. and then travels along Metka Rd., and then Ziegler Rd. to the left where the road splits.
The next section of the trail loops around Limerick Community Park and Manderach Memorial Playground. this section of trail is largely unshaded and loops around the baseball fields, soccer fields, and huge playground, complete with large slides, and other attractions. There is currently no trail west of here.
The southern section of the trail largely follows a PECO utility corridor between Limerick Center Rd. and Royersford Rd., with a small spur leading to W Linfield-Trapped Rd., close to a nearby YMCA.
The Limerick Township Trails run between Limerick Center Rd. (Limerick) and W. Linfield Trappe Rd. (Royersford).

I loved walking the Limerick Trail today. It will be my option when it has recently rained and not too hot. My development did not include anywhere to walk the dog and bike except sidewalks in front of neighbor properties. Having the dog do his "business" on neighbor lawns is not a preferred option. I use the different trails in the area for different weather conditions. I love the woods and the meadows and the ones with a creek. Tall grass and woods require a thorough tick check at this time of year. I hope it is well-maintained and plan on sending in a donation. Went to the Kurylo Park, which at one time, had mowed a mile trail and a half mile trail choice through the meadows. Last week, since it was not mowed, my ankles were spotted with ticks. Thank you
I’m giving this a 4 star review because it’s nearby my home and it’s a lot better than just walking in circles in my neighborhood. Yes, it runs under power lines and they crackle. But it’s still a pretty walk and takes you through some open fields and you can enjoy seeing birds, smelling the honeysuckle, etc. The trails heads have been newly installed and when it crosses the roads, it’s very clearly marked for both path walkers and cars. Is it a trail you would want to specifically travel to? Not really, but it’s great for nearby residents to have it close by & to get out of their neighborhood for a change of scenery.
under power lines, along fast cars on 422, not worth the time.
Plenty of trails in the areas through actual nature!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We rode this trail on a sunny morning in late June, one of 8 trails we rode that day. Unless you are also trying to ride 150 trails in one year, I don't recommend this trail. Go to the nearby Limerick Community Park and enjoy that trail instead.
