Butler-Freeport Community Trail Dittmer Road Trailhead

"The trail is most beautiful if you start at the trailhead at Jones Road or by the Sheetz on Route 356, where you would turn left and drive down into the trailhead. This part of the trail has the beautiful Bear Creek Running along the lside of it. There is an old Trestle that you can go under, but you can actually paddle around and in the summer. This winter the trail was absolutely beautiful with icicles hanging off The Rocks."

"The little nic nacs sitting around the landscaping are really cool and neat to look at. Super smooth, flat, easy trail. Perfect for walks."

"The Derailleur Bike Shop Cafe is located here. This is a hidden jem. It's a wonderful place to get a healthy drink or snacks when hiking/biking on the trail,"

"A very rewarding bike trail. Mostly very rural, the trail follows a creek bed to limit the grade. Being in the creek valley limits your long view but the creek has great natural beauty and lots of birds (and bird song). There may not be enough parking. There's lots of signs that say "no parking" in likely spots close to the trailheads. People on the trail were friendly. Bring plenty of water and snacks at least. The towns would like your business but have not interpreted that well with in-town signage. The extensive shade and very good trail surfaces make for a great ride. We did the 42 mile round trip."

"A beautiful trail surfaced with pea gravel. Perfect for running, walking or biking. This trail head has a pavilion and a store at it. The store has a food, drinks and snacks. A perfect location for a mid walk picnic."
