Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Riders enjoy many miles of non-paved trails on both sides of Neshaminy Creek. Please stay on established, blazed trails. Horseback riding is prohibited in the picnic areas.

    Parking for horse trailers is available:

    • Near Number One Lane Trail in the large parking lot across from the arts center
    • In the Fisherman’s lot on PA 332 across from Spring Garden Mill
    • At the Schofield Ford Covered Bridge parking lot off of Swamp Road

    Hitching posts and a mounting platform are provided at the covered bridge access area.
