The Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail was founded in 2008 by a group of dedicated volunteers committed to supporting the construction of the Trail. Currently, the Friends focus on supporting volunteer efforts in expansion, maintenance and beautification of the Trail. To learn more about the Friends, please see our Get Involved page.
Our Stewardship group has been very active on the Trail and fosters enhanced knowledge of our environment through educational and volunteer programs such as instructional Trail and birding walks that educate on native plantings and species. Check out information and pictures about these stewardship programs along with new ways to volunteer.
We invite you to join in the celebration of this unique and well-loved neighborhood pathway!

October 11 Heritage Walk
October 11 Heritage Walk
2-4 PM
Cynwyd Station Trailhead (321 Conshohocken State Road, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004)
Join local historian and trail expert Jim Mundy and explore the history woven into every corner of the trail on this fall Heritage Walk. A 60-year Bala Cynwyd resident and past president of the Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail, Jim will bring the Trail’s past to life with stories of the trains, people, and places that shaped our community.
This event will be at a walking pace along the trail for about 1.5 miles, with flat and lightly elevated areas. Light refreshments will be provided at the midpoint of the walk. Please leave furry friends and young children at home so we can keep our group focused and moving at a steady pace.
Parking is available at the Cynwyd Station Trailhead, but note that the walk ends at the Manayunk Bridge and participants will be responsible for their journey from there.
Space is limited for this free event—click here to register today.
