Description

A moderate hike in the forest

French Creek State Park offers a web of trails for hiking and mountain biking with two lakes, picnic areas, and more. Hike the Lenape and Boone Trail Loop, a moderate 4.5 mile hike that winds through the forest and offers views of both of the park's lakes - Scott's Run Lake and Hopewell Lake. Dogs are allowed on trails but must be leashed.

You can access the Boone Trail off of Hopewell Lake near the Park Office (parking nearby). There are picnic areas, restrooms, and a boat launch on this lake as well - lots of activities for families and groups!

Climb at Birdsboro Quarry

To get there follow back roads to the parking lot that is tagged in the description. From here, follow the trail/road paralleling Hay Creek until you reach a few large buildings. There is an obvious sign here on the regulations of the area. Do not go through the fence to the right and instead keep close to the walls on the left side. There is an easier to get there by parking at Rustic Par...

Misery Trail starts there, heads up through the trees about 0.75 miles and meets up with Horse-shoe Trail. Take the Horse-shoe Trail to the right for 0.6 miles until it meets Valley Cree...

Skippack Creek Loop

The Skippack Creek Trail in Evansburg State Park was one of my favorites on this most recent trip. Any chance I can hike a trail alongside a river, I take advantage of it. The trail starts on the south side of Skippack Creek at a parking area on Kratz Road. It was early in the morning and the weather could not be more perfect. Cool temperatures and not a single cloud in the sky all day. There ...

Hike the White Trail in Ridley Creek State Park

The white trail is the only true loop hike in the park. Strangely enough, it has no official trailhead. You can gain access to the trail from either Pavilion/picnic are #9 or Pavilion/picnic area #16. I chose picnic area #9 and hiked in a clockwise direction. This section starts very close to and follows Ridley Creek. You do have access to Ridley Creek for a short distance where there is a side...

Hike the Pinnacles and Pulpit Rock

Park in the lot near the Hamburg Reservoir and hike around the barrier and up the gravel road. Shortly on your right the Appalachian Trail branches off the road. Follow the white blazes of the AT for around 2 miles to the Pulpit Rocks, just before the trail passes the Lehigh Valley Astronomical Society road.From the Pulpit Rocks you will get a glimpse of the sweeping grandeur the Pinnacles will...
