This trail was constructed in 2010 and connects Homestead Park in Emmaus, PA with Boroline Park (which itself is a main entrance point for the South Mountain Preserve). The materials are crushed rock, cinders, and even some boardwalk sections. The trail runs parallel to a rail line, but is about 5-10 ft below the grade, separated by tangled woods. Families use this trail for short jaunts, as it is only about 0.7 miles long in total.
Parking is available at both ends.
