The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education is a 365-acre park with over three miles of trails. The space is known for its environmentally-focused art installations and ecological restoration efforts.

The Schuylkill River Trail, a multi-use path extending from Frackville in Schuylkill County through Montgomery, Chester, and Berks counties to Philadelphia, traverses the historically rich southeastern Pennsylvania region. The trail winds through rural, agricultural, suburban, urban, and industrial areas. It is a rail trail with over 75 miles of the trail being paved or surfaced with crushed stone and open to the public. Managed and developed by the Schuylkill River Trail Partners, there are ongoing plans to extend the trail.

The Knox Covered Bridge is a beautiful bridge over Valley Creek. It was originally built in 1851 and was recently refurbished.

General Von Steuben is referred to as the "Father of Military Instruction" and played a vital role in the war. At one time, he served in a high rank within the Prussian army. The insights he gained in that position helped establish him as a key player in the establishment of America's army.

Chapel Trail is a multi-use trail that spans 2 miles one way. It is a relatively popular green single track trail that can be ridden both ways. There is a 275-foot blue climb as the trail follows the Schuylkill River from Gravel Lane in the east to Washington‘s Headquarters at Valley Forge National Park in the west.

This is the eastern entry to Washington‘s Headquarters at Valley Forge National Park. If you would like to visit, bikes must be locked up, and you can walk around and see the historic buildings that were General George Washington's Headquarters during the Revolutionary War. If you don't want to go inside, this area also has a great view of the Schuylkill River and the surrounding the surrounding woods. It is also the end of the Chapel Trail.

Varnum's Quarters is a two-story stone house on the property. The Stephens family owned the house, but General Varnum and six of his staff quartered in the house during part of the war.
