Tinicum Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route on the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge At Tinicum in Pennsylvania, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is a flat, low-lying ride, about 2.3 miles long in an out-and-back layout, with a total climb and descent of about 25 feet each. The trail runs entirely within the refuge, and its name ties it to the Tinicum area of the refuge. The most comfortable months for riding are typically late spring and early fall. At a nearby weather station in Philadelphia, typical averages run from highs around 74°F in May to about 79°F in September, while July peaks near 88°F. Several other routes lie close by. Turkey Foot Trail and Wetland Loop Trail are both about 1.6 to 1.7 miles away, and Little Tinicum Island Circumnavigation offers a canoeing option about 1.6 miles off. Climbers can find Crum Woods about 3.7 miles away.
