East Coast Greenway (PA)

10.8 mi Out-and-back 85 ft gain

The East Coast Greenway is a 3,000-mile (4,800 km) pedestrian and bicycle route between Maine and Florida along the East Coast of the United States. The nonprofit East Coast Greenway Alliance was created in 1991 with the goal to use the entire route with off-road, shared-use paths; as of 2021, over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of the route (35%) meets these criteria. In 2020, the Greenway received over 50 million visits.

Thunderstorms in the forecast — lightning and cyclists are a bad combination.

  • Thunderstorms — lightning and cyclists do not mix — get off the road before they arrive.
  • 37 mph wind — gusty and hazardous on exposed bridges and overpasses.
  • Pavement: wet — wet during the likely ride window — reduced braking, road spray, limited visibility to drivers.
  • Exposed + wet + windy — mixed traffic in wet windy conditions — visibility and handling margin drop together.
  • Headwind on this route — 37 mph headwind outbound — expect a 37 mph headwind on the return.
