Schuylkill Valley Heritage Trail
Best Time of Year: Oct 07 - Oct 07
The Schuylkill Valley Heritage Trail runs parallel to State Route 209 between Tamaqua and Middleport on land originally cleared to make Route 209 a four-lane highway. Scenic mountains, company patch towns, and anthracite mining along the trail highlight the valley’s anthracite heritage. This trail was developed in 2002 through the cooperation of numerous community partners including: Schuylkill & Walker Townships, the Borough of Tamaqua, and the Eastern Schuylkill Recreation Commission.
