Union Canal, Bicycle & Walking Trail

Only bike this path if you are looking for a leisurely ride with beautiful scenery. The path is very well maintained, but it's only 8-10 feet wide. It's full of blind corners, and even though it was an early weekday afternoon, plenty of people on the trail. It's relaxing, but you *really* need to be alert at all times and watch your speed. On the upside, this is one of the rare bike trails near water where you're REALLY near the water. Eight feet over and 8 feet down, and you're in the Tulpehocken Creek. There are several parks *right* on the path, a good number of benches that are smartly spaced, and a couple spots to put in a kayak or a small fishing boat.

Some great views while riding on the path. You always run into some hikers and runners. Your occasional family going out for a nature walk. Is super cold so only we were bracing the cold on bikes but very joyful ride.
