Schuylkill River Greenways, NHA
The Schuylkill River Greenways National Heritage Area celebrates the Schuylkill River watershed as one of America’s most significant cultural, historical and industrial regions. The boundaries of SRG cover the Schuylkill River watershed in Schuylkill, Berks, Chester, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties. This region is nationally significant for the role that its people, places, and events played in the American, Industrial, and Environmental Revolutions.Schuylkill River Greenways is working to bring the economic and health benefits of this “hidden river” to communities throughout the watershed through recreational use and the development of businesses along its route. At Schuylkill River Greenways, we work closely with all our trail partners to keep every mile of trail, from Philadelphia to Schuylkill County, safe and accessible.SRG works to promote connections to the river, with the Schuylkill River Trail as our most important tool and project. We support all the communities and activities along the 120 mile trail, and we are working to complete the final sections. There are currently about 75 completed miles of the Schuylkill River Trail in sections, including 30-plus miles between Philadelphia and Parker Ford. The trail breaks off in Parker Ford and picks up again in Pottstown where it continues for about 20 miles to Reading. From there, cyclists can follow a 20-mile signed on-road route just shy of Hamburg. In Hamburg, trail users can access a scenic seven-mile stretch to Auburn in Schuylkill County. The trail is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, exercise or commute. All of this work is made possible through the generosity of our members, donors, and corporate sponsors. We also receive major funding for trail construction from government and private grants.
