New Trail Connection Opens at Poquessing Creek Today

Feasterville Trevose, PA · June 27, 2026

The humidity is holding off just long enough for the early joggers on Philmont Avenue to get their miles in before the midday heat. If you’re heading out for a walk, the new connector path near the creek is finally clear of orange cones and ready for foot traffic.

📰 The Lead

After months of grading and paving, the final segment of the neighborhood connector trail linking the Willow Wood development to the Poquessing Creek Trail system officially opens this morning. This small but vital stretch of asphalt means residents no longer have to navigate the narrow shoulder of the main road to reach the primary trail loop.

Township officials finished the final safety inspections late yesterday afternoon, removing the temporary fencing that has frustrated local cyclists since the spring. The project, funded in part by a regional greenway grant, includes a new timber-rail bridge over a small tributary that had previously been impassable during the summer rainy season. Whether you’re pushing a stroller or training for a 5K, the path offers a much-needed shaded escape from the suburban pavement. The official ribbon-cutting isn't until next month, but the gates are open for your Saturday morning stroll starting right now.

☀️ Today's Outlook

Expect a classic late-June Saturday with plenty of sunshine and a high reaching 89 degrees. The morning will be pleasant for outdoor chores, but humidity will climb by mid-afternoon. There is a 20% chance of a stray "pop-up" thunderstorm after 4:00 PM, so keep an eye on the clouds if you’re firing up the grill. Temperatures will dip to a comfortable 67 degrees overnight.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • Arnie’s Gourmet Meat & Seafood For over three decades, this local butcher shop has been the unofficial headquarters for Saturday afternoon barbecue planning. While the glass cases are famous for custom-cut steaks and fresh catches, the real local secret is their house-made marinade recipe, which hasn't changed since the doors first opened. It is the kind of place where the staff remembers your usual order before you even reach the counter.
