The Schuylkill River TrailFrom the past to the present. From the historic river

towns of Conshohocken, Norristown, and Pottstown to therolling hills of Valley Forge National Historical Park. TheSchuylkill River Trail in Montgomery County takes visitorsthrough a rich blend of natural, cultural, and historicalresources. The trail runs through a variety of urban,

suburban, and rural landscapes, offering nearly 20 miles tohikers, joggers, bicyclists, equestrians, and in-line skaters.The Schuylkill River Trail (SRT) is the spine of the

Schuylkill River National and State Heritage Corridor. Whencompleted, the trail will run over 100 miles from the coal regionof Schuylkill County to the Delaware River in Philadelphia.

Evidence of several centuries of industrial use remainswhere river and canal navigation, quarrying of limestone andiron ore, and production of iron and steel have succeeded eachother as mainstays of this regions economy. Today, theseindustries are giving way to urban renewal, including high-risedevelopment and riverfront restoration.

The trail provides direct connections to several otherMontgomery County regional trails, including the PerkiomenTrail, the Cross County Trail, and the future Chester Valley Trail

Extension. For those seeking public transportation to the trail,SEPTA offers excellent access via regional rail service and buslines in Miquon, Spring Mill, Conshohocken, and Norristown.
