Confirmed from Pennypack Creek 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.
Shady, short, gravel path for walking and cycling by a creek or preserve that’s kid-friendly.

Really nice outdoor trails right in the middle of everything - there are a ton of different paths and locations you can park all the way around the trail network. Very comfortable walking and wide trails - very well maintained and several sitting areas around the trails.
