Nice easy bike path through a wide variety of landscapes and scenery. Good for a leisurely pace with many road crossings. NOT a place for fast riding as there are often many walkers and other riders on the path. Some port a pots along the trail is a nice addition.

Great trail. Lots of interesting things to see. Well maintained. There are still people that need to learn trail etiquette. Let people know that your going to pass them on the left either by saying it or using a bell.

A beautiful place to walk run bike or skate. Mostly shaded but there are parts that are in direct sunlight. Multiple entrances into the Linear Park make parking a breeze.

Very nice rail 7.5 mile trail that meanders through farm fields, past residences, and through wooded areas. What isnt flat is just a light grade. One or two Porta Potties along the way. There is an air pump at the Clay Rd. trailhead. Mostly paved with some crushed stone sections. On the weekends get out early to avoid the crowds.

Great paved path that flows between behind buildings, parks and along roads. A few road crossings. Plenty of parking on both ends. Everyone was friendly who I passed. Great for biking and running. There a a few paths that divert off for a park or hiking.

Great place and trail. Parking where I was, was limited and I ended up parking in a no parking zone (for authorized vehicles only) since Im not from the area and the other spots were full, I parked and did my 4 mile run. No ticket thankfully but definitely recommend researching the area for more parking when you go. It was VERY busy on a Sunday afternoon. Lots of dog walkers, bicyclists and kiddos but everyone was pleasant. I definitely recommend and while I may not go back for a run Id definitely bring the family. There are safe road crossings, bathrooms and play areas for little ones.

We drove from Spring Gulch camp grounds for a paved bike ride with our son. The trails were not only great and well kept, but the people were nice too. Great time and would highly recommend.

Review №25

I go there often. It’s beautiful and calming, that’s if you go when there isn’t a lot of people. I love that they finished the connection to the Warwick Lititz side; that’s my favorite section to ride bike.

A very nice rail trail. Eight mile between two small towns. Many people end their ride in Ephrata and go to one of many delightful eateries. Pressed Plate, Scratch Bakery or Griddle &Grind.

The bike trail here is really nice! You can ride from Ephrata to Lititz and its mostly level; a few places theres a slight grade but its still nice. If its a nice Sunday afternoon, be prepared to share the trail with alot of other folks

Still only 2 years old. Traffic at intersections are on the most part respectful. Will be nicer when Ephrata section is completed as well as the section towards Lititz.

Review №51

Love the trail! It’s smooth, and perfect for walking, jogging, biking, skating. There is lots of shade, a few Porta-Johns, a small park, and even a neat gnome display along the trail. There are also clearly marked crossings, with flashing lights, for added safety. It’s a great trail for taking kids along, as it’s pretty flat.

Review №52

This is a pleasant place to cycle, walk, or run. Looking forward to completion of the segment connecting to Warwick. Nice for families. I like to visit midweek. Its a fallback for me when weather is too chancy to ride on the road.

Review №54

I enjoy the trail for walking, jogging, and cycling. The majority of people are courteous and respectful of others. The trail is totally paved, has trash receptacles, lights, and benches. Most of it is shaded, and the municipalities do a good job of keeping it clear of debris and snow.
