Confirmed from Schuylkill River Trail - Main Street Trailhead'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.

Heading west of Main St. on the Schuylkill River Trail is a shorter trail, good for running, walking and biking. This area is used for Farmers markets on Saturdays. Police station at the end. Not as pretty as the East side of Main St. Also the Gay Street Bridge history & landmark info is located in this trail.
