More About Cynwyd Heritage Trail
The Cynwyd Heritage Trail is a pedestrian and bike path that runs along an abandoned rail line from roughly Bala Avenue and Montgomery Avenue to Belmont Avenue and Rock Hill Road. Lower Merion Township completed construction and opened the trail in fall 2011. There is limited parking at the south end of the trail and at the Barmouth Station trailhead located at Belmont Avenue and Levering Mill Road.
