When the weather gets nice, it’s always fun to get outdoors and enjoy the natural surroundings. In the Hatfield, Pennsylvania area, there are plenty of hiking trails nearby that provide the perfect setting for your next outdoor adventure.
202 Parkway Trail
This paved trail spans nearly 8.5 miles in length and runs alongside a scenic byway. It connects with The Circuit, which is the trail network that runs through Greater Philadelphia, and this segment links three separate towns. The trail is about 12 feet in width and has grassy areas along with split-rail fences that keep it separate from the roadway.
58th Street Greenway
This shorter trail is perfect for a brief walk near southwestern Philadelphia. It is about 1.4 miles in length and connects with Bartram’s Garden on the east side and Cobbs Creek Trail on the west side. Some small sections of the asphalt trail also allow cars, so use caution when walking on these areas. The path is well-marked with clear indicators.
Angelica Creek Trail
The Angelica Creek Trail is paved in gravel and starts in the suburbs of Reading. At the start of the trail, you’ll have breathtaking views of the Schuylkill River, then as it winds northwest, you’ll be near to Alvernia University and Angelica Creek Park. Parking is available along Route 10 and within the KenGrill Recreation Center on the south side.
During the spring, summer, and even early fall months, you’ll see plenty of other hikers along these trails, taking advantage of the pleasant temperatures and breathtaking surroundings.
