Don't miss the trail sections in Kent Park, along creek road to Swedish Cabin, over the new footbridge to Gillespi Park, Also, there is a section in Pilgrim Park and another above West Chester Pike. Together, they .are a full day of exploring.
The rail bed can be taken for over 3 miles since the day it opened as it's an extension of the segment in Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center, and it was the Nazareth Branch of the Lehigh and New England Railroad, not a trolley line. There are many connections via Jacobsburg as well as a connection to Ballas Park making it more worthwhile than comments would suggest.
I wanted to stay local today… so picked this trail. Started at Knowlton Road trailhead. It is very nice… Nothing like realizing I did the trail only 1.5 months ago¿¿. Not realizing it until I got to the Septa Station end. The pic in the pre spring different than late spring. ¿
We parked at lake Lenape lot. It was unpaved and consisted of packed gravel. Took the trail as far as callow hill. It was asphalt and in reasonable condition. Path is mostly flat with lots of opportunities to observe birds, critters and turtles. It mostly follows the creek. We ran into a few people but mostly had the trail to ourselves. Lots of wild flowers and great scents along the way We enjoyed the ride and will do the entire trail next trip
completed the full trail in the afternoon, and was pleased no to have all the bugs. timing is everything! Also had a large doe cross over to the river in front of me. beautiful ride on a beautiful trail
This trail was great. We did the entire thing up and back starting at the turkey point overlook. I would give this trail 5 stars if it wasn’t for the yellow gates towards Chester county that have no gaps next to them so you have to get off and on the bikes a couple times. We will definitely be riding this trail again.
Was excited to check it out. It was a mixture of paved, gravel and dirt with exposed roots so it went from smooth to pretty bumpy. Our group had a mix of mountain and gravel bikes and it was slow going on the rough sections. The drought made it a bit less scenic but nice pass under a trail trestle. Trail ends at Race St. and after a brief stint on roads, continues at the back of Taylor House Brewing. After that, goes on for the smallest bit before going back up to road.
This trail is perfect for beginner bicycle riders or older folks like me and my wife. It's flat, wide, and paved and maintained nicely.
We rode this today and the trail was smooth and very enjoyable. Be caught at the busy roads but people are pretty considerate and will stop for cyclists. The cinders weren’t unbearable for my road bike. We highly recommend.
Nice well maintained, shady and pleasant to ride… after a nice you have something wonderful to eat at the Lake House.
The trail is wonderful, very scenic. Wonderful for biking and hiking further north of Jim Thorpe, if possible, more benches along the trail to stop and take a rest would be nice.
