Come experience the natural beauty and heritage of our community!
The
Haverford Heritage Trail is a 13.5 mile loop trail under development
around and through Haverford Township linking key historical sites. To date most of the trail has been mapped using existing roads, streets, parkland and trails already in use. The
Haverford Heritage Trail Committee was designated an Action Priority by
the Haverford Township Civic Council in April 2009. A
project is underway to make and install route direction signs to define
the trail and numbered location signs to indicate the historic site
locations.
Major
portions of the Heritage Trail coincide with existing trails (e.g., at
Haverford Reserve) and potential future multi-use trails (e.g., Darby
Creek Trail). These and other future walkability and bikeability
improvements will provide a unique blend of access to Haverford's rich
history, exercise and access to beautiful natural areas within
Haverford.
Look for the planned installation of Trail signs and the publication of a trail map.
The
Friends of Haverford Trails will be a contributing steward of the
Haverford Heritage Trail. This includes maintaining signage and
off-road trail portions of the Heritage Trail. A significant portion of
the Heritage Trail is located off-road along Darby Creek, where
volunteer maintenance and improvement work will be undertaken.
