Description

The Crossbow Trail is the only flow trail in Philadelphia. Built through a partnership between the Philly Pumptrack, Friends of the Wissahickon, and countless volunteers, this trail is the fruition of a local labor of love. It connects the pumptrack itself to over 15 miles of slick singletrack. Enjoy!
