Landingville Marsh Trail

The Landingville Marsh Trail is a flat loop trail alongside the Schuylkill River that includes part of the John Bartram Trail and the foundation for the oldest transportation tunnel in the country. The Marsh is located south of Landingville off Tunnel Road. The John Bartram Trail is more developed in this area and features a trailhead next to Tunnel Road that includes a nicely landscaped parking lot with interpretive kiosks. There are no restrooms along the trail. The Landingville Marsh is one of Schuylkill County's best birding locations, currently with a species list of 211 birds, of which 77 have been found breeding in recent years. The trail circumvents the entire marsh area, enabling birders to get excellent views of herons, egrets, and occasional rails. It is not uncommon to see Bald Eagles and Ospreys fishing at the dam and marsh. Approximately 22 species of ducks have been recorded.
