Schuylkill River Trail

About Schuylkill River Trail

The Schuylkill River Trail is a multi-use trail under construction along the banks of the Schuylkill River in southeastern Pennsylvania. Large stretches of the trail are rail trails.

When complete, the trail is planned to run from the river's headwaters in Schuylkill County to Fort Mifflin in Philadelphia, a distance of about 140 miles (230 km); as of 2007, several complete portions of trail exist, including a section from Auburn to Hamburg, a 19.5-mile (31.4 km) portion from Reading to Pottstown and a 23.2-mile (37.3 km) portion from Oaks to Locust Street in Center City, Philadelphia.

On many maps and street atlases, and on some of the trail's signage, the segment between Philadelphia and Valley Forge is still identified by the older name Philadelphia–Valley Forge Trail.
