Thompson Trail

Darrah Ribble

The Thompson Trail is the Township’s newest trail. It circles the fields of the Thompson Family’s farm between Union Hill Road, Tinker Hill Lane and Tinker Hill Road. This gorgeous trail is wonderful for hikers and horses. The trail’s blazes are white. It connects with the Horse Shoe Trail at Union Hill Road, at the power lines / pipeline just up the hill from the overpass.

Access

  • Park at the end of Tinker Hill Lane in the cul de sac. Or park at the Great Valley Nature Center, and follow the Horse Shoe Trail blazes to the left along Hollow Road, across Rte 29 and up Aldham Road. The Horse Shoe Trail will turn right off of Aldham.
  • At the old railroad tracks where the Horse Shoe Trail turns right again, follow the signs and white blaze to the left onto the Thompson Trail.
  • Horses and hikers should continue down the powerline to cross Union Hill. Turn right and follow the shoulder up the hill and turn left onto the trail beside the stone wall.
