Enjoy the Schuylkill River trail

I had the chance recently to ride the Schuylkill River trail from Pottstown to Birdsboro. (http://www.schuylkillriver.org).

It was paved from Pottstown park to Grosstown road. It is a crushed stone trail from Grosstown road to Armorcast Road in Birdsboro. There is parking at Grosstown Road, Old Morlatton Village, Tim’s Ugly Mug or Moyers, and where the trail ends near Rita’s. I did not want to chance the roadside trail on 724 even though it is supposedly marked and I hope wide enough.

It is a great walk too and each part is different. Pottstown is paved flat and sunny, Douglassville is in the trees but smooth. Birdsboro was a little bumpy since it is lower with more trees, leaves and water and along the back yards of houses.

If you get a chance to enjoy it, please do. It is best when it is dry.
