On the other side of Cobb's Creek, the earthen Powder Mill Trail (dark orange) runs from the back edge of the Powder Mill Park playground along the creek bank. The extension provides a safer route to reach the Karakung Swim Club and the Little League ballfield. It crosses the creek on the road bridge, then heads into the Karakung Swim Club parking lot and follows alongside and below the guard rail until it ends at the top of the curves. The Karakung Trail Extension (woodchip and grass, shown in orange) heads further north from the sidewalk by the station across Mill Road and generally alongside the west side of Karakung Drive. At the Nitre Hall driveway, it re-enters the woods until ramping down to the roadside just short of the Beechwood-Brookline railway station.

It eventually passes the historic Lawrence Cabin and Nitre Hall, once the home of the Powder Master who oversaw the operation of the gunpowder mill. (Another short leg provides access from the east.) It then crosses Karakung Drive, running through the field along Cobb's Creek until it recrosses Karakung Drive and heads into the trees. It starts near the Norristown High Speed Line overpass over Manoa Road, where a macadam path goes past the Powder Mill Valley historic monument. The earthen Karakung Trail (shown in yellow), was begun in 2007 and is the most popular trail in the Powder Mill Valley.
