Treweryn Farm Trail is a charming destination for those seeking a dog-friendly outdoor experience in Lower Gwynedd Township, Pennsylvania. Known for its well-maintained loop trail, this pet-friendly park features a mix of paved and gravel paths suitable for dog walking, jogging, and family adventures. Its proximity to Gwynedd Mercy University and scenic creek crossings, along with picturesque mini waterfalls and wildlife sightings—from frogs and turtles to woodpeckers—make it a unique local gem for nature lovers and dog owners alike.
The trail is generally considered easy, flat, and accessible—perfect for kids, strollers with larger wheels, and leashed pets. There is ample, wheelchair-accessible gravel parking at the trailhead. While the park is regularly maintained, visitors should be aware that it can get muddy after rain and the parking lot may have some security concerns, so valuables should not be left in vehicles. The moderate crowd levels, pet waste requirements, and overall clean environment cater well to responsible pet owners looking for serene, dog-friendly hiking in Montgomery County.

This is a nice trail in need of a great deal of maintenance. It is very wet and muddy. The parking lot is small and my vehicle was broken into while we were walking. In total four vehicles were broken into while we were on the trail for less than an hour and a half
Wonderful loop trail that is ideal for younger kids. Rocks are down for much of the trail so it is manageable after a rain. Lots of little water falls for kids to enjoy and total walk is about a mile and a half so a good way for youngsters to grow their endurance. Could do a stroller, though maybe better with slightly larger wheels. We have seen lots of wildlife including frogs, turtles, fish, ducks, a beaver, and a wide variety of birds.
Beautiful park with well maintained trails in Lower Gwynedd. There are several man-made dams that the creek flows over provides picturesque senerey.
Nice little trail near the Gwynedd Mercy University campus. Well marked with several options for longer hikes. Pet friendly (as long as you clean up!), and mostly litter free. There is a small stream/lake with some small waterfalls. Great for pictures. Gets far enough off Summneytown Pike you don’t hear the road noise, just the birds, frogs and woodpeckers!
