I am looking forward to the completion! Some sections of CVRT are quite lovely; passing by parks and wooded areas. Love it if could connect to VF park trail, but overall a great trail whether biking, running or taking the dog for a walk. The trail is suppose to be 12 wide and it is in places but at most crossings it is a maze to get through especially when the traffic is heavy and a wide range of people from novices to experienced road bikers who are impatient with the rest of us. The Chester Valley Trail Extension project is a 3.8-mile expansion of the Chester Valley Trail completed in March 2023. The road noise, mostly from 202, and the several crossings (Rt 100 could really benefit from a bridge) stop me from giving it 5 stars. The trail is very enjoyable. It might get a little boring. Started at the North Gulf road. I think between the western park and County line Rd it runs about 12 miles and that is like 100 miles and novice seniors like myself. The Chester Valley Trail provides opportunities for recreation and alternative transportation in the congested commercial center at the northern edge of Greater Philadelphia. The Trestle Bridge may be renovated for . Bike shops in Exton also make for easy service. Weve ridden short distances on this trail toward King of Prussia ( ride to K of P Town Center and eat outside at one of the many restaurants) but last week was Our first excursion towards Exton. The CVTE study is partially funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (PA DCNR) Community Conservation Partnerships Program (C2P2). To get from Clover Mill Road to Boot Road, and then down 322 to where the existing trail begins, there is a massive hilly area. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I road this trail. I then headed out on my run going East (I think) for 3.1 miles. All Rights Reserved.

The Chester County Planning Commission is proud to release the final Chester Valley Trail Extension to Downingtown Feasibility Study and Master Plan. Yes, there are road crossings. Leaving Bridgeport, the route curves south and then west as it meanders through King of Prussia, a community named for a local Colonial-era inn built in 1719.
