Chester Creek Trail — Attraction in Middletown Township

This is a great trail with beautiful scenery and wildlife year-round; it's not uncommon to see deer or an occasional fox, even a bald eagle from time to time. There are even a few remaining vestiges of the trail's railroad heritage if you look carefully. The trail has sturdy benches along its length and trash cans with dog waste bag dispensers at all three road crossings and each end of the trail, but there are no public restroom facilities.

Several parking spots at various points of the trail. Benches are available if you need a break. Even has a bike repair station. Air pump not working during my visit, but still very thoughtful for trail...
