Great Places Healthy Communities Transportation 2021

The Cherry Creek Crossing Trail Network, located in Smithfield Township and Delaware Water Gap Borough, Monroe County, includes 3 miles of trails brought to fruition through a partnership between the municipalities and the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission. The planning process involved community involvement and resulted in a trail designed for shared use by pedestrians, bicyclists, and persons using other non-motorized modes of transportation. There was also a clear focus on preserving the environment by using innovative stepping stones to cross the stream and kiosks with interpretive materials to promote protection of the Delaware Watershed. With many access points and connections to downtown Delaware Water Gap, the Appalachian Trail, the PA Welcome Center, and regional transit, the trail attracts a diverse array of users. With a maintenance strategy in place and plans to expand environmental education features, the Cherry Creek Crossing Trail Network will continue to be a viable asset to the communities from both a recreation and economic standpoint.
