Confirmed from Schuylkill River Jogging 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 Schuylkill River Jogging Trail
“Beautiful trail to walk along, great and calming river views”
“One of the best walking, jogging or biking trails in my opinion.”
One of the best walking, jogging or biking trails in my opinion. Free spots for parking. Lots of places to hang a hammock or put down blanket for picnic. Great views of river, city skyline and old bridges. Benches along the way and a water filling station. Connects to art museum
Beautiful trail, great for walking,biking and jogging. However, it is extremely crowded when it's nice out, even on the weekdays. I wish the trail was wider, because as a cyclist it is very difficult to dodge in and out of people and other cyclists.
Great place! Love the scenic trail! Easy for strollers ! Only problem… NO CHANGING TABLE IN THE BATHROOM!!! Ugh! I do love that little restaurant with sandwiches too!
The places I good for jogging, but it's much better going for a run in the evening as there's no cyclers.
