New Trail Section Opens Along the Poquessing Creek Today

Feasterville Trevose, PA · July 18, 2026

The humidity is holding off just long enough for the morning coffee run, and the new gravel on the creek trail is ready for its first real foot traffic. Plenty of folks will be out early today before the afternoon heat settles in.

📰 The Lead

After months of grading and bridge work, the newest extension of the Poquessing Creek Trail officially opens to the public this morning. This segment connects the existing paths near the township line to the quieter wooded areas further south, providing a continuous two-mile stretch for runners and cyclists. The project focused heavily on erosion control, using native stone and plantings to stabilize the banks that have historically struggled during heavy summer storms. For residents, it means a safer route away from the noise of the main roads and a better vantage point for spotting the blue herons that frequent the water. The township maintenance crew finished the final signage installation yesterday afternoon, clearing the way for the first weekend of full access.
