Chester Valley Trail West

The Enola Low Grade is a big reason why Atglen is on the map. This feat of railroad engineering starts here in Atglen and runs west 26 miles to the Susquehanna River. Chester County Planning Commission is planning the Chester Valley Trail West to connect the Chester Valley Trail and Extension to the Enola Low Grade Trail in Lancaster County. Townships in Lancaster County are working on their own portions of the Enola Low Grade Trail. The Chester County Planning Commission has recently posted a web page that will have updates on progress on CVTW. Currently, the Atglen portion will enter the design phase shortly, with construction in 2026. For updates, click on the Chester County Planning Commission link below  

Visitors, please note that the trail has not yet been constructed in Atglen. There are no parking lots for, nor access to, the trail here. The only public facilities in Atglen are found in the Library: restrooms, a water fountain with bottle filler, and a vending machine. While we love to accommodate visitors, we have very limited weekend hours during the summer: Saturday from 9:00am to 1:00pm. To plan your trip, please visit these sites.
