About Secret Valley Excursions

Secret Valley Excursions offers railbike tours along a historic corridor near Manatawny Creek in Pottstown. Visitors ride four-passenger railbikes on a smooth, easy journey through scenic rock cuts and dense forests, traveling approximately four miles in roughly sixty minutes. The route follows hand-dug rock cuts from the 1860s that once supplied cannonballs and later drew industrial interest to the valley. Riders may spot white-tailed deer, great blue herons, and bald eagles along the way. Standard pedal railbikes provide a light leg workout, while new electric-assist bikes allow visitors to reduce or eliminate pedaling entirely. The low-friction steel wheels on steel rails make operation smooth and accessible. Railbikes accommodate all ages, though each vehicle requires at least one adult passenger, and a weight limit of 250 pounds per rider is enforced. Visitors should wear closed-toe shoes and bring sunscreen, sunglasses, bug spray, and any necessary allergy medications.
