Hanover Trolley Trail

So excited for the expansion coming.

August, 2025 by karinawentz2

I love going on this trail when riding my bike to work. It's so nice to ride without cars being beside you. When going out early you can see all kinds of wildlife out.

Capital Area Greenbelt

Kinda rough for a paved trail; will return

August, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It was kinda rough for a paved trail. The pavement was bumpy in many places. Most of the trail is impressively wide. Be prepared for many on-street sections and crossings, some of which are busy. Wildwood park has restrooms and water. I enjoyed the ride and will be back someday.

Warwick to Ephrata Rail Trail

The Ephrata Warwick trail experience

July, 2025 by billythekid1031

This trail was very scenic. With farmlands in the distance and nice scenery, which included art, a squirrel Haven to name a few. It’s a good ride or walk. My only issue was it wasn’t properly marked in Ephrata going through town. And there wasn’t an end of trail sign commemorating the trail.

Schuylkill River Trail

Overly Aggressive Bike Riders and Dangerous Speedway

July, 2025 by luv-2-run

Some riders do not announce themselves while passing us slower riders - witnessed between Valley Forge and Norristown on 7/22/2025. And often see riders going way too fast in congested areas, one rider yelling at other riders as though he owns the trail, not slowing down. There is a speed limit of 15 miles per hour and often riders are going 25+ MPH. This is not a speedway but rather a trail for enjoyment, for walkers, bikers, in-line skaters, and NOT for an accident waiting to happen!!! If someone is training or going for speed, find a roadway that is more appropriate.

Slate Heritage Trail

The trail is in great condition. Coming from the D&L is a little tricky to find. It runs along Trout creek and starts out paved. It's beautiful scenery and wildlife tucked. Well maintained. Signs along the route. Ends in Slate Park

Crow Creek Trail

Suburban Greenbelt Connection

July, 2025 by jmcginnis12@gmail.com

Stretching 2.7 miles north to south through suburban KoP and Upper Merion Twp., the Crow Creek Trail connects local communities with two longer trails and The Circuit.
Paralleling the creek for which it is named, the trail is currently (as of 2025) divided into two completed segments, separated by a short, quarter mile gap between Covered Bridge Road and the Upper Merion Community Center, off Valley Forge Road. The surface is primarily asphalt, with two segments of concrete sidewalk; these are in the middle of Sweetbriar Park and next to the Upper Merion Baseball And Softball Association building on the south side of Walker Field. There is also a short concurrency with the access road and parking lot across the campus of the Upper Merion Area Middle School and Viking Aquatics Center.
Like most multi-use trails, the Crow Creek Trail offers both recreational and transportation opportunities. The lush, wooded banks of Crow Creek form a greenbelt cutting through the suburban sprawl, providing both shade for trail users and a refuge for local wildlife. Birds, squirrels, chipmunks and even deer are common sights on the trail, while numerous species of wildflowers add an array of color in the spring and summer months. In addition to connecting three parks, a community center and athletic facilities, the trail also allows the students, faculty and staff of Upper Merion Area Middle School to safely walk or bike without going on busy streets.
The King of Prussia Mall and other businesses of downtown KoP, as well as the Chester Valley Trail, are a short distance down Allendale Road from the trail's southern terminus, while a short walk or ride west on Abrams Road from the northern terminus links to Bob Case Park. From here, trail users can take the Schuylkill River West Trail to Valley Forge National Historical Park and the longer Schuylkill River and Horseshoe Trails.
Unfortunately, the Crow Creek Trail does have some shortcomings. Although most of the trail is wide enough to safely accomodate two lanes of traffic in either direction, the sidewalk sections as well as several of the footbridges over the creek are narrower and should be used with caution. The trail is not level and there are several steep slopes and sharp curves on the route, including the switchbacks winding down the hill just south of the Upper Merion Community Center. Fortunately, there are signs alerting users of these potential hazards.

Michael N. Castle C&D Canal Trail

nice Ride

July, 2025 by alewisa333

Ditto to the person who wrote the review with questions/answers. Not too difficult with e-bikes. We have ridden this a few time & love it . We travel from Abingdon Md . Good directions where to get on the trail. Mostly flat & wear sunscreen cause you are not covered much by trees. Nice scenery. You will not regret riding this trail.

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

cool ride

July, 2025 by alewisa333

We have ridden this trail a few times & forgot to leave a review. It is amazing, nice curves/ paved well , goes along river, good signage. Won’t be disappointed. We had e-bikes & cruised along.

Northern Delaware Greenway Trail

cool ride

July, 2025 by alewisa333

I read reviews on All trail site & my husband @ I thought we would try it due to what was posted on more variety of the trail. We would have given it a 5 rating if there was more direction at beginning of trail where to get on by the zoo. Like another reviewer posted it is to your left if you are looking at the zoo & is at the tree line. Also there are many forks in path that get you confused which way to go. Had the GPS which kept us on track. Loved the hills/ forest/ river. The end @ Bellefonte stopped at highway. We had e-bikes so it was really fun. Would do this again. pathBesides this we have e- bikes & loved the hills/ wooded area with bridges.
