Print Friendly MapNamed in honor of the late Ed Miller, a longtime caretaker at Renfrew Park & Museum and member of the Waynesboro Historical Society and Renfrew Institute, the Ed Miller Memorial Trail winds through the south side of the Franklin County borough, connecting three parks.
The asphalt trail begins at Memorial Park and follows a short concurrency with E. 4th Street. The trail separates from the street at the borough's east end, passing between the Waynesboro Area School District campus to the north and the Brimington Farms development to the south, crossing the West Branch of Antietam Creek on a footbridge. This segment of the trail climbs a couple of steep hills and has low shoulders, so caution is advised.
After climbing another hill, the trail reaches the western boundary of Renfrew Park and Museum. Trail users have the option of exploring the park, an outdoor historical museum comprised of a preserved, Pennsylvania German farm, via a network of internal footpaths, several of which intersect with the Ed Miller Trail. The trail itself takes a sharp turn south, following the western boundary of the park past one of its barns and a historic stone home, then winds down to the East Branch of Antietam Creek.
After crossing the creek on a second footbridge, the trail turns southwest, passing through wetlands to the northeast corner of Otterbein Park, where it intersects with a loop trail that circles that park's perimeter.
Parking is available at Memorial Park, along E. 4th Street, at Renfrew Park & Museum and at Otterbein Park. It can also be accessed from the Waynesboro Area Public School campus and YMCA.
I enjoyed being able to get used to my Catrike Villager on a paved trail, close to a town yet still adjacent to farm fields and Antietam Creek. I was able to practice shifting gears on various uphills and downhills. I will definitely visit this again!
