Today I'm going to write about one of my favorite new places, the Chester Creek Trail. As you know, I recently moved into a new apartment. It just so happens that the Chester Creek Trail is in walking distance from my new place. The trail is about 2.8 miles long. It runs from Lenni, PA to Upland, PA along Chester Creek. Although I've only lived here for two weeks, I've already walked the trail four times. This trail was a 6.5 million dollar project. I believe that this is a great addition to the community. People now have a safe place to walk, run, ride bikes, and so much more. Personally, I enjoy walking the trail at night. It's very peaceful and it's a good place to clear my head. At night there is rarely anyone else on the trail. All I can hear is the sound of the creek and occasionally sounds from different animals. One night I was walking and stumbled upon a herd of about 8 deer. I'm a huge nature lover so this is definitely the place for me. It's a great place to exercise without feeling like you actually did any work. I usually walk from the beginning of the trail to the end and then back, because that's where my apartment is. Round trip would be about 5.6 miles. I love bringing my friends on the trail and telling them the history of the town. I grew up in this area so I'm very familiar with the surroundings. My parents have also told me a lot of stories because they grew up in this area as well. Another benefit of this trail is getting a break from social media and just my phone in general. I rarely use my phone when I'm on the trail, which really helps me to relax and just enjoy the scenery. I definitely recommend this trail to anyone who loves the outdoors, loves to exercise, or even someone who just wants to get out of the house.
