Valley Forge National Historical Park Trail Map (click to enlarge)

There are 15 trails at Valley Forge National Historical Park. Depending on the trail, hikers, bikers, and horseback riders are welcome. Skating is not allowed on any of the trails except for the paved Schuylkill River Trail.

E-bikes are allowed on any trail that standard bikes are allowed on, but the motor can only be used to assist in peddling. You cannot ride around on an e-bike like a motorcycle.

The trail map available at the park and any maps posted on the actual trails are not accurate. I have made all corrections to the map that you can download here on National Park Planner.

There is also a bridle trail that runs along the park’s southern border. It is not identified with a name on the trail map. I did not hike it, so I cannot report on it other than to say that hikers are also welcome on the trail.
