Put on your hiking shoes or pump up your bicycle tires and hit the trail – the Perkiomen Trail, that is. The ‘Perky’, as it’s called by aficionados, provides a great way to immerse yourself in the glory of the natural world while working off excess calories and getting a great workout. It covers 20 miles along Perkiomen Creek, beginning in Oak and ending in Green Lane Borough. The majority of the trail occupies a former Reading Railroad bed and intersects the Schuylkill River Trail and the Audubon Loop. Hiking or biking along the trail gives you access to a variety of parks and historic sites, including Perkiomen Valley Park, the John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove, Pennypacker Mills, and Evansburg State Park. If you traverse the entire trail, you’ll pass through the towns of Arcola, Collegeville, Schwenksville, Spring Mount, and Green Lane.
