  Contribute to a distinctive community!
Recreational trails provide unique exercise opportunities and transportation routes, preserve critical open space, create natural corridors for wildlife, and enhance the communities through which they pass. As highly desirable destinations for an increasing number of residents and tourists, regional trails also contribute to the local economy. Trail users need food, lodging, shoes, special clothes, and gear for running, hiking, biking, skating, or skiing. Many even buy souvenirs and other items during their trip.

By preserving the Brodhead and McMichael Greenway through the development of regional trails, the Stroud Region presents an extraordinary park system for generations to enjoy. No matter what the season, everyone can find a special place here. Whether drinking in the beauty of the summer wildflowers, marveling at nature's awesome beauty in the fall, hearing the new-fallen snow crunching underfoot in the winter or listening to the chirping of delighted birds in the spring... our regional trails are a cherished community asset!

Levee Loop Trail
( Map ) Constructed in the deadly aftermath of deadly floods in the 1950s, the levee separating the residents of Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg from the torrential tendencies of the Brodhead Creek now foster a more unifying function - the Levee Loop Trail!

From the Levee Loop Trail, encircling a picturesque portion of the Brodhead Creek, one can easily and safely touch fourteen public parks, three playgrounds, two skate parks, several ball fields, two swimming pools, two fishing ponds, one disc golf course, a regular golf course, nine schools, a university, a Community Center, and the historic downtown districts of Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg. When its southern end is completed, the trail will connect with a route to neighboring Delaware Water Gap NRA, the Appalachian Trail, and unlimited destinations north and south.
