Landingville in the Winter

With the past few weeks being brutally cold, yesterday was a nice break with the temperature being in the 30s. It was a great day for a stroll over on the Bartram Trail in Landingville, PA. I also took some pictures of the snow covered trail. Friday may be a major snowstorm for this area so I was glad to get out of the house for at least one day.

Therman Madeira Switchback Trail Hamburg

Yesterday, I took a hike on the Therman Madeira Switchback Trail in Hamburg, PA. This trail is one mile long and starts directly in front of the parking lot for the Kernsville Dam - Bartram Trail Parking Lot.

While there are many curves in the trail, the trail is flat and easy to navigate. The trail meanders to the Schuylkill River and travels along it for the most part until it ends at Old 22 in Hamburg. Right before you reach the end you can cross a real nice wooden bridge that goes over a creek.

Look below and you will see fish swimming. Here is where the trail also connects to the section of the Bartram Trail that runs through Hamburg and ends currently near the Dollar General store.

Most of the Therman Madeira Switchback Trail is through a wooded area with a lot of shade.This day was great with a constant breeze going the whole time. At one point the trail goes underneath Interstate 78.

Photos of the Bartram Trail

Here are some photos of the Bartram Trail from the Hamburg section.

This section starts near the Kernsville Dam. A new 1 mile section has been added that goes directly into Hamburg, PA. I will get some photos of that in the near future.
