Fun Fact: The Perkiomen Creek has its source in Berks County. Perhaps that’s why there’s a Perkiomen Ave in Reading, Mt Penn, and Exeter, even though the Perky doesn’t merge with Schuylkill for many more miles.
After leaving Berks, the Perkiomen winds its way through MontCo to the luscious Green Lane Reservoir.
We, too, will leave Berks this January and make our way to the “Rue de Vert,” where we will run loops (or at least one loop) around the Perky waters.
Interested? Note the (im)pertinent information below:
Meet at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 18 at the Green Lane Red Trail Parking on Knight Rd (Green Lane, PA).

We will also go out for lunch after the run–location TBD.
Fun Fact: Perkiomen comes from the Lenni Lenape term Pakihm Unk, meaning “cranberry place.”
