A little less than a mile long, the Barrel Run Trail is part of Milford Township's growing system of multi-use trails. The paved, asphalt trail begins at Woodview Drive, immediately west of Trumbauersville Elementary School, and follows a stream west, behind adjacent developments, to Creamery Road. Most of this land is wooded, and the trail is a great place to enjoy nature.
The township eventually plans to extend the trail further west to connect to the Unami Creek Trail, and there are also ongoing efforts to join it to a longer network of trails that will span the Pennsylvania Highlands Region from the Delaware River west to South Mountain.
The trail can be best accessed from the Trumbauersville Elementary School Parking Lot.
Not far (by car) from the north end of the Perkiomen Trail or the south end of the Saucon Valley Trail are four short trails just outside of Quakertown. The Barrel Run, the Unami Creek and the Braton Garden/Hunters Crossing trails. The Barrel Run is a ride in the park, well maintained and scenic with a short hill to make it fun. If you don't mind riding on roads you could ride to the other short trails.
