Master Trail & Bicycle Facilities Plan

The Northampton Township Master Trail and Bicycle Plan (The Plan) is available for public review.  The Plan outlines a vision for improving the quality of life in the Township; providing a wide range of outdoor experiences; and supporting economic development through the development of a comprehensive township-wide trail and bicycle facilities network. 

The process of developing this Master Trail and Bicycle Facilities Plan was a multi-step process designed to identify opportunities for providing non-motorized transportation options in all areas of the township. Please find below a link to “The Plan” as well as each of its individual components.

Newtown Rail Trail Phase II

This project will construct a 1.8 mile extension of the Newtown Rail Trail into Northampton Township. Phase I of the Newtown Rail Trail in Upper Southampton Township was completed in fall of 2021. This segment ends at Bristol Road, the municipal boundary between Northampton and Upper Southampton townships. The trail extension would begin at Bristol Road and continue into Northampton Township along the former Fox Chase-Newtown SEPTA rail line corridor and will terminate at the County-owned Churchville Nature Center.
