Where is Trexler Nature Preserve (Trex)?

It was brought to my attention that some people might not know where or what Trex is. Trex is short for Trexler Nature Preserve and is located in beautiful Schnecksville, PA. It is the area of land next to the Lehigh Valley Zoo (formerly the Trexler Game Preserve) Schnecksville is just north of Allentown on Route 309, approximately 5-6 miles north of Route 22. The vegetation is dense but the terrain underneath is gonna be awesome for riding.

If you wanted to help with trail building and thought it was in the middle of nowhere, your only half right. It's next to the middle of nowhere. Here are directions from 22:

  • 22
  • 309 N
  • Turn left on Game Preserve Rd.
  • Turn right on Mill Creek Rd.
  • After you pass Winchester Rd. (on left) there will be a right turn onto a dirt road that ends at a parking lot. That is the main parking lot for our trails.
