The Schuylkill East Trail is mainly a natural surface trail which connects Lock 60 to Upper Schuylkill Valley Park along the Schuylkill River. Parking can be found at Upper Schuylkill Valley Park and Lock 60. Access at Upper Schuylkill Valley Park is in the lower parking lot by the River. Access at Lock 60 is on the same path as the Locktender’s House. Please park and cross the small canal bridge by foot/bike. This trail, less than 2 miles, is a bird lover’s paradise.
