Miles of well maintained paved reclaimed railroad bed. Lots of shade for those hot afternoon walks
Gentle climb up Blue Mtn toward W Pen Argyle and Wind Gap. Paved or well packed gravel until last mile where it gets steeper and loose gravel. Center of Slate mining. see pics of house with slate shingles and piles of slate
Almost level Trail very well-maintained mostly asphalt. Good selection of porta potties along the Route just in case. It crosses many roads and you have to be careful because the brush blocks the traffic if you slow down and stop you'll be able to see just fine
Great out and back trail for walk, run or bike...or dog walk too. Flat, semi-paved but does have a lot of road crossings. Marked every .25 mile, total distance can be 7+mile from end to end.
