Saturday October 12, 2024 - Angelica Greenway Trail

Approx. 4 - 5 easy miles


This trail is paved with gravel for most of the trail. We will park and start at the Brentwood Trailhead of the Schuylkill River Trail. Just southeast of the Brentwood Trailhead, the Angelica Greenway Trail branches off at the western approach of the concrete arched trestle then makes a sharp right and passes under the old railroad bridge used by the Thun Trail and under an active railroad trestle. The trail then makes another hard right and follows the Angelica Creek in Angelica Park, past Alvernia University and neighborhoods until it ends at the Ken Grill Recreation Center. This will be an “in and out” hike going from Brentwood to Ken Grill and back to Brentwood. Afterwards, there will be an option to eat lunch at Mimmo’s Restaurant on route 10.

Meeting place: 9:00 am at the Brentwood Trailhead for the Thun Trail on route 10. 

GPS: 620 Morgantown Road, Reading
