This foot path is within the Maryfrancis Blue Bird Haven Park. It is a perimeter loop trail through meadows and woods. It has a grass or dirt surface, 2- to 4-feet wide. It makes a nice walk. Be sure not to disturb any of the Blue Birds. The last few springs there have been more than 10 young that have been raised each year. Please stay on the trail and do not cut into the middle of the meadow. You will very likely see the Blue Birds from the trail – if it is “in season” for them.
In the winter, this can be great, easy cross country skiing and snowshoeing country.
Blue Bird Trail Head
From the parking area off the Victor Egypt Rd, just south of Valentown Rd., and across the road from the entrance to the Monkey Run Trails, this trail can be followed either clockwise or counterclockwise. In either case, it begins in meadow, and on the east and northeast it is in woods.
