Simple, straight, mostly flat, gravel trail in good condition but with no amenities that I could see. Good for walking your dog, taking a relatively short bike ride, or a walk

This is a nice hiking & bike trail from Jacobsburg to Rt 512 near Wind Gap. There is a new trail going in between the trail & Ballas Park. It will include 2 or 3 walkbridges over Sober’s Run which will improve access to all three! VIVA Bushkill Twp!
