Wolfinger Walking Trail - Valley Forge, PA - Hiking and walking trailheads on Waymarking.com

This trail is named after Charles H. “Chud” Wolfinger, an avid supporter of local, state and federal parks around the Chester County area. After retiring from a career in the railroad industry, he worked to preserve the historical integrity of Valley Forge National Historical Park as the site of the winter encampment of Washington’s troops. In 2009 the National Park Service honored his work by dedicating the “Wolfinger Trail” in the Park. He died of congestive heart failure on January 17, 2012. He was 92. SOURCE

p align="justify">The Wolfinger Trail begins at the trail-head on Yellow Springs Rd, just across the covered bridge in Valley Forge Park. I found the trailhead on the Valley Creek Walking Trail. There is a sign post and a brown sign announcing the turn-off. The trail turns to the east, moving deep into the forest.

Valley Forge National Historical Park contains 28 miles of authorized trail that are popular for hiking, biking and horseback riding. The park contains 19.5 miles of designated, marked, hiking trails. The 6.6 mile Joseph Plumb Martin Trail connects the key historic and interpretive sites.
