Currently, the Trail Head section of the Bartram Trail in Auburn, PA is closed due to the new bridge being installed on Rt. 895. However, you can still access the trail where it currently ends on River Road.
River Road is located off of Fort Lebanon Road, going past the Auburn Fish and Game. Here is a map showing the location where you can access the trail from the south.

Some people are still able to put kayaks in the Schuylkill from the north of the bridge over Rt. 895.

Bartram Trail Stony Creek Trail Access Open
The Stony Creek Trail Head which is located by PA State Game Lands 110. The trail can be accessed by following Bear Creek Street in Auburn, which then turns into Bear Creek Road as you travel south.
Once you reach the gate, the road is gravel and care should be taken as some washing out is to be expected. Still, the road can currently be traveled by car at low speeds.
As you reach the bottom of the hill, just before the parking lot, you will cross a small wooden bridge and then park in the parking lot.
From there, you now have access to the 7 mile stretch of the Bartram Trail that currently runs between Auburn and Hamburg.
