Came here on Sat 10/25 to hike with a couple gf's and brought my doggo, Linc, since it's a dog…read morefriendly trail. I work out but I wasn't ready for this trail as a first time hiker lol! I wore sneakers but would have greatly benefited from hiking boots for more ankle support after slipping and tripping my way along the dense leaf covered dirt trail that continued to get more rocky on the ascent. Also, you will need to climb some legit large rocks/boulders to reach the Pulpit Rock overlook but the challenge was well worth it for the views! My gf's & I chose the easy way down which was to take the gravel road alongside the observatory that eventually transitions to pavement. Even the decline of this road was steep in itself. No easy way up or down haha! I saw people of all ages and fitness levels along my hike and plenty of cute dogs! Bring snacks and water to re-energize during a rest break. My one friend packed some TP and I thought it was a great idea cuz you just never know when you might have to go! Parking lot is a joke with ~20-25 spots but many ppl, including us, parked along Reservoir Rd so make sure to get here early in the morning or expect to walk a couple extra miles just to reach the start of the trail.

Great spot for a day hike, with beautiful views at the two main lookouts - Pulpit Rock and the…read morePinnacle. The hardest part of the hike is getting to Pulpit Rock, as it starts with a fairly steep road to get to the trail, and then some more elevation climb as you get up to the lookout. From there, it's probably another 2.5 miles or so to get to the Pinnacle, but the elevation gain is minimal. Both of these stops provide great views, with lots of raptors flying around if you're lucky! Bring snacks and water, especially on a hot day, and cameras to take pictures!

I headed over to Evansburg with friends after lunch In nearby Skippack Village. We all enjoy…read moretrails, and with some of us, ahem, older folks more level trails are kinder on our knees and backs. One of us had hiked most of this parks' trails, so they were familiar. Evansburg is tucked away in the world between farmland and new developments, not showy or grand, instead quietly welcoming you. There are large picnic shelters, a hysteric farm house, decent privy's for a park and ambling trails. The first trailed planned was closed due to bridge storm damage. While some of us wanted to climb down and cross the dry-appearing creek bed it spanned, others reminded us of those creaky knees and of hidden sucking mud. Ah yes. So we redirected to another trail, this one shared by horses and dog walkers, about a mile long, winding through trees, at times close enough to the parks' edge to see new development homes' carefully manicured back yards. The mostly flat trail was muddy in places, there having recently been rain, nothing un-navigable. Trail markings are "meh", typical of the less-famous state parks, keep an eye out and, we'll, follow the hoof prints. A pleasant couple hours walking off lunch in the woods.

No trail head markings except one with a bridge that is about to fall down with a sign to use…read moredetour. No indication of where the detour is located. We only found one trail intersection that was marked, but to be honest we wandered in a circle and got frustrated and left. In hindsight we should have checked reviews because our experience was not unique.

I completed all 20 miles of this trail by foot back in October, starting up in Green Lane and…read moreending in Oaks. The areas nearest to the trail heads are absolutely gorgeous! There are quite a few spots lacking in aesthetics near the Collegeville area. The trail is mostly paved and crushed rock, so it's not bad depending on what you're looking for! There is a 12% grade in the Spring Mount area. There are signs maybe 1/4 mile before you reach it. Every review I've read thus far never mentions where this is, so when I went I really had no idea where to expect it at. You will encounter many different people and lots of dogs along with trail. I also saw quite a few chipmunks! There are plenty of parks along the way, including Pennypacker Mills Park which is around the midway point, to stop for lunch or to use the restroom. The restrooms at Pennypacker Mills is the nicest of all the restrooms along the way. There are also restaurants, like the Collegeville Diner and Snoozy's Cafe in Schwenksville, and bike shops to stop at if you need to. One thing I don't see mentioned often is that Gratersford Prison backs up to this trail. You will see signs warning you to remain on the path at this point as you pass a few corn fields. I'm not sure I'll complete this trail again, but I do recommend it to anyone interested!

The trail runs through a few small towns along the Perkiomen Creek. There you can stop for quick lunch or get some drinks while using the trail. I have ridden the length of the trail in its entirety and it is gorgeous! The views from here are amazing and the creek is beautiful. The only 2 downsides to the trail is that it is paved with crushed stone and it is prone to flooding after very heavy rains (the trail is on the banks of the creek. This means that certain bikes cannot handle the trail and the trail can be closed in certain sections at times. Don't let theses minor problems deter you from using this magnificent trail. Before using, check out the website. The County Parks Department is great with updating the situations. ENJOY!
