Confirmed from Manayunk Bridge Trail'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.

What runners say about Manayunk Bridge Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (25 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice trail with a beautiful view of Manayunk and the city. It's so nice to come up here during the sunset and look at the scenery while going for a walk. It's also a good trail to run if you're into that

★★★★★ — Leanne , Oct 2021

Nice trial! The bridge has great views and I am glad it wasn’t destroyed and turned into a trail. I really enjoy that Philadelphia has so many trials. There are some many things to do besides being in city center.

★★★★★ — Nick , Oct 2021

SO happy this is a pedestrian path and not a train line. Great spot to watch a sunset. Has so much more potential too! I would love to see it get made into some green space.. maybe add some benches too

Posted hours for the park or trailhead. Gates and parking lots often close earlier than the trail itself, and seasonal hours change — worth a check before a pre-dawn or after-dark run.
