Trailhead
The official trail head for the Blueberry hill trail starts at milepost 0.6 on the United States Ave trail but since there is no adjacent parking, its worth the 0.5 mile walk from Memorial Park.
Blazes
There are no actual markers on the Blueberry hill section of the trail and there are railroad milepost markers on the United States Ave trail.
Points Along the way
- 0.7 Miles from the Memorial Park Parking lot, the Blueberry hill trail branches off to the right crossing over United States Ave.
- 1 Miles from the parking lot, there is a loop trail that climbs up to the top of the hill, this is a crossroad between the trail that continues over to Haddonfield-Berlin Road, up to the hill, and back down to United States Avenue via an alternate path. (we followed the loop trail up the hill to the right)
- 1.2 Miles from the parking lot is the crest of Blueberry hill with a view of the Philadelphia skyline. There are approximately 20 - 30 stairs to get to the summit via this path.
- 1.5 Miles from the parking lot, the loop trail circles back around to the same crossroad down a sloped path (we continued right on the path toward Haddonfield-Berlin Rd)
- 1.7 Miles from the start, the trail crosses the Haney Run Branch, a small brook
- 1.75 Miles, the trail ends by a driveway to a nearby house.
- 2.8 Miles from the start, following the inverse of the loop trail, the trail rejoins the United States Ave trail.
The total distance from start to finish is 3.4 Miles.
