Power Line Trail
The Power Line Trail is one of the best paved running trails in Montgomery County, offering over 5 miles of smooth multi-use path through Horsham Township with easy opportunities for longer out-and-back runs. Built along a PECO utility corridor, the trail combines wide open stretches, gentle rolling hills, and neighborhood green spaces that make it ideal for tempo runs, marathon training, bike workouts, and everyday mileage. Unlike wooded trails, the route is mostly exposed to the sun, giving runners long sightlines and a safe, open feel year-round. The paved surface and gradual elevation changes make it beginner-friendly while still offering enough variation for solid workout efforts. Along the way, the trail connects parks, schools, and community spaces throughout Horsham, with access to places like Everybody's Playground and nearby township parks.
