Walking Trail Information

Spring Oak offers scenic hiking trails throughout the community; however, if you wish to take in all the beauty our region has to offer, there are numerous hiking trails that offer hours of enjoyment.

• Horse Shoe Trail - - Runs from Valley Forge National Historical Park to the Appalachian Trail west of Harrisburg. The Spring Oak Pedestrian Trail will eventually connect with the Horse Shoe Trail along Rees Road but in the interim, you can access the trail via Quigley Drive. Once in Valley Forge, you can indirectly connect with the Schuylkill River Trail. Visit www.hstrail.org for maps and info.
