Schuylkill River Trail - Hamburg to Auburn


Yesterday, we traveled to the Kernsville Dam, just north of Hamburg. Here, there is a section of the Schuylkill River Trail referred to as the John B. Bartram Section. It's 6 miles long and ends abruptly at the banks of the Schuylkill River where a rail bridge is in a state of decay. This is a great trail to ride on a hot day because the entire trail is shaded (except for a very short section near Auburn). Early on, there are benches, picnic tables, and educational stations. The Appalachian Trail, crosses the trail at Port Clinton. The surface of the trail is crushed stone and the ride is generally flat. The trail is wide enough to ride side by side. All in all, a very enjoyable ride.

Keep on Trekkin'
