Geocache Description:

    Exeter Scenic Trail follows the north shore of the Schuylkill River. The tree-lined route provides views of the river and runs to the Klapperthal Trail at the base of Neversink Mountain.


Exeter Scenic River Trail certainly lives up to its name! The trail, runs parallel to the northeastern shore of the Schuylkill River in the suburbs east of Reading, passing through lush, shady forests, giving one the feel of being much further from civilization than they actually are. The tall trees form a canopy that keeps the trail cool in summer, the melodic sounds of birds can clearly be heard, and mammals like squirrels, chipmunks and the occasional deer rustle through the thicket and sometimes cross the trail. 

The only man made sounds are the shifting of gears on bicycles, footsteps of hikers and, from time to time, boaters on the river and freight trains on the nearby Norfolk Southern rail line. The trail is  ideal for a family outing, with plenty of benches giving users the opportunity to stop and enjoy the serenity, relax or eat a snack. The trail is mostly level grade. It also compliments the Schuylkill River/Thun Trail on the south bank, and together with that trail and the Neversink Trail, forms an enjoyable loop route for area hikers and cyclists.

CARTRIDGE: This is a pretty simple beginner cartridge, it will run from either of three Parking areas and is available at above at the related web page link. This is a simple Multi-Cache with a coin discovery at the end. Klapperthal Parking is the shortest route & Gibraltar road is the longest.

HAPPY CACHING!
