Confirmed from Heritage Trail - Goshen'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.
Paved hiking trail with scenic views, suitable for walking, biking, and dogs.

Dedicated 12 mile trail perfect for a bike ride or run. Tarmac throughout with a very gentle gradient, suitable for road bikes. No motorized bikes allowed, which makes the trail perfect for relaxed riding or walking. Family and (leashed) pet friendly.
Amazing place to bike, run or get exercise in general! (Just remember they do not clear for snow so it will be bumpy if your biking)
I've lived in Milford, PA for 20 years and this was our first visit. My husband completed his 19 mile run out and back and I rode along on my bike. The path is lovely, with gorgeous, quiet scenery. Plenty of dog walkers and bike riders. Also, the are a few places to stop for Porta potty.
I love it. I started in Middletown and I went all the way to Goshen. Excellent road,in great condition, the pavement looks new, benches along the way,great views, also parking along the trail in few places.
