NEW!: SRT Ride Guides
Plan Your Ride. Explore the Trail. Discover What’s Along the Way.
The Schuylkill River Trail is more than a path from one place to another. It connects communities, historic sites, parks, businesses, and destinations throughout the Schuylkill River corridor.
Schuylkill River Greenways is creating a series of five SRT Ride Guides that, together, will cover the entire Schuylkill River Trail.
Designed for first-time visitors and longtime trail users alike, each guide combines a detailed trail map with the information you need to plan your ride and explore beyond the trail itself. You’ll find trailheads and amenities, mileage and trail surfaces, points of interest, Trail-Friendly Businesses, food and lodging, connections to other trails, and detailed waypoints with latitude and longitude coordinates.
Whether you’re heading out for a few miles, spending a full day on the SRT, or planning a multi-day adventure, the Ride Guides can help you decide where to start, where to stop and what to discover along the way.
Two Sections Available Now
