In addition, hiking is permitted in most open areas of the park. While hiking in the park please keep your pets on a leash at all times. BikingThere are 19 miles of authorized biking trails in the park. The paved, 6.6 mile Joseph Plumb Martin Trail on the south side of the park connects the key historic and interpretive sites. On the north side, two miles of the paved, regional Schuylkill River Trail run through the park, with connections to sites in Montgomery County and Philadelphia.
