Pennypack's Trails

General Information
The
Pennypack Trust has eight miles of woodland, meadow and creekside
trails for hikers of all levels. You can enjoy the rolling hills
and spectacular views of the 160-acre Raytharn Farm on the Raytharn
Trail, walk through the old-growth forest on the Peak Trail or
enjoy the calming sounds and sights of Pennypack Creek on the
Creek Road Trail. Our trails offer excellent opportunities for
bird watching, photography, tree and wildflower identification
or simply enjoying the fresh air and solitude.
We welcome you to enjoy our trails, but ask that you follow trail rules and designated uses at each trail. The important guidelines are crucial to the protection of the natural beauty and diversity of the Pennypack Preserve, and will enhance the visiting experience of all hikers.
Trail use signs posted at each trailhead will assist you in
using the trails properly, but please follow these general rules:
 |
Pets musts be leashed at all times. |
|
Bicycle use is restricted to the three multiple-use trails: Creek Road Trail, Pennypack Creek Trail and Pennypack Parkway. |
|
No pets are permitted on the Raytharn Trail. |
During the last few years the Trust's stewardship crew has been constructing information kiosks at key trailheads, increasing trail maintenance, installing trail signage, and improving the surfaces of our heavily-used trails. So, proper use of the trails will help us continue to improve all visitors' experiences and keep the Pennypack Preserve an "oasis" of natural beauty.
Our trails are open to the public 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to dusk. Feel free to drop by the office Monday - Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or the Visitors' Center on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday afternoons to find out more about our trails.
