\n<\/a>Thank you to David Robertson for the following information:
\n<\/a>“The Pennypack Parkway (between Mason’s Mill Road and Pennypack Road) is very accessible for disabled visitors. \u00a0It was an old, flat, level road that is now abandoned and surfaced with crushed stone grit. \u00a0It may have a few minor erosion rills in places, but I recommend it to people in wheelchairs and families with children in strollers.”
\n“Montgomery County’s new Pennypack Trail, a rails-to-trails project created\u00a0<\/span>on the bed of the old Fox Chase-Newtown regional rail line, parallels the\u00a0<\/span>Creek Road Trail on the east side of the creek. \u00a0That trail is flat, even,\u00a0<\/span>and level–perfect for disabled users. \u00a0It is heavily used. \u00a0The Pennypack\u00a0<\/span>Trust does not maintain that trail; it is the responsibility of Montgomery\u00a0<\/span>County, and it extends southward to the county’s Lorimer Park for a total\u00a0<\/span>length of just over 5 miles.”
\n??\u00a0<\/strong>“<\/span>The Creek Road Trail, also an old abandoned road, is subject to flooding because it is located so close to the creek. \u00a0While the trail is mostly flat and level, the surface is very, very uneven. \u00a0In places, it is gravel, in other places it is paved, and in still other places it has washed out down to the ballast under the asphalt. I wouldn’t recommend it for a disabled person.”<\/p>\n
