Schuylkill River Trail - MTB
Does anyone know if there are any (legal) singletrack trails that link off of the SRT. If so, please describe where? I'll be starting from oaks and heading towards philly over the weekend and it would be nice to get off the pavement for a while. Thankx in advance.

belmont plateau. cross at the falls bridge and ride down west river drive (aka MLK). turn right at montgomery and the park is on your right. take the paved road at the bottom of the hill to the end (look for yellow steel barrier). Enter at a gravel service road. there's plenty of singletrack off the service roads.

I'm not a mountain biker, but I see a lot of them in Wissahickon Valley Park, which is just past the Falls Bridge. Basically, take the Schuylkill River Trail out of the city and follow it to the end on Ridge Ave. Look across the street, and you'll see the entrance to the park.
