Schuylkill River Trail

The Schuylkill River Trail between Philadelphia City Line and Phoenixville is owned and managed by Montgomery County who, apart from a short on-road section between Port Providence and Mont Clare, has provided users with an off-road trail with a wide, paved surface.  The trail runs beside the SEPTA stations at Spring Mill, Norristown and Conshohocken; and provides access to the west side of Valley Forge National Historic Park at Betzwood.  Here trail users can the Rt. 422 cantilevered walk-way to access the main park with its extensive trail system and historic sites.  From Port Providence to Mont Clare there is one of the last open sections of the Schuylkill Canal, and in Mont Clare a restored lockkeepers house and lock.  This section of trail can also be used to access other county trails such as the Perkiomen Trail, Audubon Loop at Oaks and the Cross County Trail at Conshohocken.
