Thursday June 18, 2026 - AUBURN SECTION OF SCHUYLKILL RIVER TRAIL

We will trek an easy in and out hike on the Auburn section of the Schuylkill river AKA Bartram Trail.  If we hike to the Berks County Line, the hike should be 5 to 6 miles.  Since this is an in and out, there's the opportunity to turn around at any time.  PLEASE LET THE LEADER KNOW.  There are very slight hills but not many of them.  The new bridge is beautiful, the river can be seen at times; but it's a rail to trail so some may find it boring.  (I don't).

2nd leader will be leading a shortened version of this hike.

MEET & TIME: 9:30 A.M. at The Auburn trailhead.  2033 Market St, Auburn.   No facilities

DIRECTIONS:  Rt 61 North at first traffic light in Deer Lake, turn right then left on Route 895.  Look for Dollar General on your right at 2 miles.  Driveway to trail head is on the right before the bridge..

HIKE LEADER: Call 610-603-6876 with questions or further directions
