Tinicum Trail is a short, flat mountain biking route inside John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge At Tinicum in Pennsylvania, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The trail is only about half a mile long, and it is an out-and-back with no real climb, so it works well as a quick ride to pair with other trails in the refuge. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Philadelphia put May highs around 74°F and October highs around 67°F, while July highs reach about 88°F and January highs sit near 41°F. The Wetland Loop Trail and Turkey Foot Trail both start within a third of a mile, and the Eastwick Trail is about 1.4 miles away. Paddlers can reach the Little Tinicum Island Circumnavigation, a canoe route about 2 miles off.
