Wetland Loop Trail

Wetland Loop Trail is an easy, flat ride of about 1.3 miles in the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge At Tinicum in Pennsylvania, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The route starts and ends at nearly the same elevation, with a high point of about 8 feet and a total climb of only 31 feet, making it a straightforward out-and-back. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Philadelphia airport weather station show May highs around 74°F and September highs around 79°F. July runs the warmest, with highs near 88°F, while winter brings highs in the low 40s and a few snowy days each month from December through February. The trail sits among a cluster of mountain biking routes. Turkey Foot Trail is about 0.4 miles away, and Tinicum Trail and Eastwick Trail are each about 0.7 miles off. Paddlers can reach the Little Tinicum Island Circumnavigation, roughly 2.6 miles away.
