Schuylkill River Trail between Phoenixville/Mont Clare and Pottstown is the responsibility of the Borough of Phoenixville and Chester and Montgomery Counties. The section from Cromby to Parker Ford (about 100′ south of Linfield Road) is now complete and open to trail users. The surface is mostly crushed stone, although selected areas have been paved, including the Cromby trailhead, Spring City at Bridge Street, and the iron bridge near the Bard complex.

Heading east, a new section of trail opened in April 2015 from Cromby through Phoenixville, connecting with the trail in Mont Clare. Heading west, the final segment (Parkerford to Route 422 bridge, into Pottstown) has not yet been constructed. For current information about the trail’s status visit Chester County’s trail website – Chester County Schuylkill River Trail.

Completed Section

• Cromby to Parker Ford: This is the newest section of trail, opened in December 2011. It measures 5.6 miles, beginning in Cromby, just west of Phoenixville, and ending in Parker Ford. Plans call for extending that piece of the trail several more miles to connect with the Pottstown section. Today, it is a popular segment, mostly crushed stone, but paved in some spots.
