Confirmed from Schuylkill River Trail - Mowere Road 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.
What runners say about Schuylkill River Trail - Mowere Road Trailhead
This is a great place to get on the trail, and this section is paved which is also awesome. There's an excellent adult sized body weight fitness station, so before or after your run / bike you can get a work out in.
Small parking area for trail head to walk the Phoenixville section of the Schuylkill River Trail. They recently added a water fountain which is nice. I like that there is a place for my dog to drink too. There is also a new workout station.
I really had fun with my electric bike. That’s great to see so many people out enjoying the trail in a safe open atmosphere with fresh air.
Safe place to park your car to use the trail. The location is about a one mile easy walk to downtown Phoenixville.
