From the USA Today post:
“Called the best bike path in Philly by Philadelphia Weekly, the 23-mile Schuylkill River Trail is a boon to commuters entering the city from Montgomery County, residents looking for a scenic shortcut through parts of downtown, and recreational cyclists making a weekend escape. The path winds unbroken, except for two short segments, all the way to Valley Forge National Historical Park.”
The 23-mile Schuylkill River Trail runs from Center City to Kelly Drive, linking to Valley Forge National Historical Park. It will have a projected length of almost 130 miles when totally complete, which gives bikers a wide variety of trails and scenery.
Kay Sykora, Director of the Schuylkill River Project, explains why the Schuylkill Trail is one of the best:
“It takes you through a wide range of landscapes and provides a connection from the suburbs into the City via recreational trail. It is the spine and connector that allows continuous long or short bike rides. It feeds into a wide range of communities.”
Oh USA Today, you told us something we already know. Thanks for giving us the Street cred! 🙂
