Tinicum Trail

Tinicum Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge At Tinicum in Pennsylvania, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is an out-and-back ride of about 0.9 miles, with no elevation gain. The start sits at around 12 feet, and the route stays nearly flat, rising to a high point of 17 feet before returning. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 74°F and September highs around 79°F, while July climbs to about 88°F and January highs sit near 41°F. Turkey Foot Trail and Wetland Loop Trail both lie within a mile. Paddlers can try the Little Tinicum Island Circumnavigation, about 1.8 miles away, and climbers will find Crum Woods about 4.6 miles off.
