Moderate Hiking in Tamaqua

For a long hike, check out the Schuylkill Valley Heritage Trail. Stretching 7.3 miles, from Tamaqua to Middleport, the Heritage Trail runs through what was once a highway widening project. It is the perfect path for walking, mountain biking, even cross-country skiing during the winter months. It is considered a moderately challenging hike, as the path meanders through rolling hills. You’ll come across beautiful natural scenery and historic mining locations. Two trailheads, located in Tamaqua and Middleport, make the trail easily accessible.
