Confirmed from Lower Perkiomen Valley Park'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.
Playground and a basketball court among the amenities at this park featuring a barbecue grill, picnic tables and fields.

Very pretty paved walking/biking trails near Egypt Rd, Audubon. A part of the Perkiomen trail system running along the River. This trail connects with the Valley Forge extension. There are restrooms, park ranger office, covered and not covered picnic areas and outdoor bbq grills. Great for bikers, walkers, families.
This park has easy access to the Perkiomen Trail which connects to the Schuylkill River trail nearby. The park has lots of parking, bathrooms, barbecues, picnic tables, a basketball court, Volleyball court, playground and a bike fixing station. There is a short dam on the Creek.
Open fields are great to run the dog. Asphalt trail is also quite nice for both walking, running and biking..Restrooms always clean. A good amount of picnic areas and pavilions for gatherings..Pavilions do have rental fees for large groups amd private parties. Otherwise, have a seat and enjoy. Small playground as well.
