The Chester Valley Trail runs through Chester and Montgomery Counties and is fully paved, which is great for a family bike ride. Sections of the trail run alongside or follow the routes taken by General Washington’s Continental Army and British General Cornwallis after the Battle of Brandywine in September 1777. This includes the site of the “Battle of the Clouds,” near Phoenixville Pike and Swedesford Road. In 2023, a 3.8-mile extension of the Chester Valley Trail opened in Montgomery County, connecting it to the Schuylkill River Trail in Norristown.
