Confirmed from Berks Leisure Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

★★★★★ — Mike , Jun 2025

Nice trail and places to sit. There is a pavilion with two charcoal grills nearby. The parking lot isn't as big as the Grings Mill location but this is a little off the beaten path.

★★★★★ — Texaspoontappa , May 2018

Very tranquil and beautiful park. Pavilion and water fountain at the beginning of the trail from parking lot. Paved pathways, dog on leash friendly, cool wooden bridge with a pretty view and plenty of shaded or sunny spots to sit and enjoy the river and nature.

★★★★★ — Erica , Jul 2019

Beautiful trail system for hiking and biking. Shaded in most areas along the waterway.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
