Reviews
Port Providence Trailhead to Oaks Trailhead on the Schuylkill River Trail in December 2021.
Wide paved trail for walking, running & biking. Flooding can occur at times.
There was a deer very friendly to my surprise,. Also a turtle was on the side of the road and I picked it off and moved it. I just love this park. thank you very much for keeping it up.🚴♀️💜🦋🐢🌴🚴😎🇺🇸
Great place to start your ride on the Schuylkill River Trail and head south. Parking here is free and not time limited like some of the southern access parking areas. This is 26.2 miles from where the trails start in Philadelphia. The trail is well maintained until you get into Philadelphia. (NOTE: It can get a bit smelly near Norristown when you pass the two waste water treatment facilities.)
Port Province Trailhead had picnic tables, bathrooms and a bike repair station.
It has a water trail landing where you can access the Schuylkill River.
This place also has two dog parks.
Wonderful trail. Tons of trails too, one that goes all the way to Philly too? I’ve heard lots of people show up when it gets nicer, everybody was courteous and friendly
This is a beautiful trail alongside Delaware canal just across from the Delaware river. Soon, this trail will be opened from Windsor NY down to Bristol, PA through varied connections. It’s not wide, but theres plenty of areas to “pull over” to let others pass or to allow extra distance, but really, walking past other is just fine w the width of the trail. You can see a dog park, Fitzwater station is a bar/bbq that also rents kayaks for those interested in a small water activity it’s a calm waterway (no current), so easy to paddle. Montgomery County also has signs to participate in hiking activities, they link to websites for additional information.
