Highlands Park

Highlight • Trail

Highlands Park is a really popular spot for hiking and jogging without having to leave the city. To get to the grassy and dirt trails, you have to walk along a paved path for a little bit, but there are a number of unpaved trails you can branch out on. The trails are lined with plants and trees, and the deer in the area are so used to humans that they don't usually run away.

Wyomissing Creek Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Wyomissing Creek Trail is a great trail for a relaxed ride along a tree lined path. It is totally paved and mostly flat, so it is not a difficult trail.

It can be used as a connector trail to the Schuylkill River Trail that travels from Reading to Pottstown.
