Reviews of Wissahickon Valley Park

Paige Triola

Deducting a star just for the parking difficulties. If I didn't have my friend from the area with me, I would have a hard time figuring out where to park/get on the trail. Other than that, this is a wonderful place to hike and immerse yourself in nature. The woods are beautiful, the trail is fun and has some nice challenging uphill portions, and the wide sprawling meadow section is my favorite. Lovely area for much needed time outside.

Good place for hiking especially with small kids. Not a tough trail at all, especially with kids. It was very crowded during the weekend, we didn't get the allotted parking lots but instead had to find parking on the narrow hill road side. It didn't feel like the water is clean but a lot of people were enjoying in the water and grilling, family time on the river/stream shores. A little rugged but you can chose to stay on the not at all rugged paved roads, we did a combination of both it was worth it.

Juanita Harris

This is a beautiful park. I have visited many times and volunteered a couple. The park is really big with plenty of space to bike and walk. It's nice to sit down by the creek and also a beautiful place to take photos.

Corey Brill

Wonderful trails that are easy to navigate for the whole family. Gorgeous trees, clear trails, amazing fungi finds and rock hounding locations throughout the park. Great for all four seasons as you get to experience something new every time.

Jeffrey Hsu

Beautiful state park right on the border of the city. It’s only 20 minute from center city and easy to enter through multiple points. We’ve been putting the inn as a spot for GPS. if you go early enough you can park by the inn otherwise there’s a small lot outside across the bridge. Miles of trials to walk or bike. It does get muddy after rain but on a hot summer day lots of tree and leaves to make shade. If you are adventurous there are many off trails and bridges where you can branch off. And the park is big enough even though the lots are full you don’t feel like it’s crowded or loud.

Discovered this trail park which does not appear to have a main entrance. Instead there are many access points with small parking lot. There is a large map very helpful and signage post at the entrance of the trails. Theses were unpaved, trickey to navigate, full of rocks and fallen trees. Definitely comfortable shoes and outerwear a must. The sound of the stream was relaxing and the reflecting view of nature (tree branches,rocks) was beautiful. There are many trails going different directions. There was a crosswalk on the main road to access trail on the otherside. However, the main road includes a bridge with no sidewalk lots of traffic, and a very narrow shoulder. Best to cross facing the oncoming traffic. Arrive early as it does appear to fill up quickly. Worth exploring!

Swati Patel

Went here on Sunday morning around 9AM. It was hard to find parking so plan to go early. The park was beautiful. We hike on the orange trail and absolutely loved it. The park was very clean. Valley cafe was also very good right across the river and prices were very affordable. It’s must visit park if you are in philly area. Great way to get your cardio done while enjoying nature.

Jesse Staton

A really good place to go for a trail run and to take in some great views or go fishing. A large variety of trails that will take you on many challenging runs throughout the park. I would also recommend you bring your family alot for a nice picnic 🧺.

Kyle Goodman

Wow, wow, wow what a park to have so close to the city. We parked at the Blue Bell parking lot and started off on the orange trail. Right away we noticed that the trails were well labeled and maintained. AllTrails was accurate and a valuable resource when navigating the many interconnected trails. Hiking, running, bouldering, horseback riding and mountain biking are all on offer here and we saw people enjoying each of them. We wound our way down to the creek after passing under the Walnut bridge. We would go on to pass under the bridge two more times. One where the arches are decorated in stunning art. The point we wanted to reach was Hermit's Cave. While the cave itself wasn't much, the journey to get there was delightful. In all we hiked 3.6 miles with 450 ft of elevation gain. We are already excited to return here and explore more. Tentatively planning to try out trail running next weekend.

Sydney Matthews

Beautiful park. Great hiking trails for horses and dogs and even though swimming isn't allowed there are some nice spots to take a great dip.

Archana B

Would definitely have been more beautiful in fall or spring. Took forbidden drive loop. Easy hike with 8 & 6 year olds. Access to stream and covered park benches.

Mandy Ho

A beautiful park with many different hiking mini routes. It was pretty busy when my family got there at midday on Saturday afternoon. There aren't too many parking spots at Forbidden drive. But there are other parking lots surrounding other parts of the park.

MP 5

Biased bc this park is basically my backyard. It’s part of my daily run/hike routine with the dog. Miles worth of trails that are fun during all four seasons. The creek is accessible at multiple points. Just wish more people would keep their dogs on leash on the trails. Go to Rolling Hill park if you want your dog to explore leash-free.

Crystal Armand

Such a beautiful park with gorgeous trails. Biker friendly. We went during the Rittenhouse fair and were so impressed by the sheer beauty of this area. It truly felt as if it was a hidden gem. A sincere magical forest trail.

yashanda bennett

Beautiful and Peaceful pathways, definitely a place to get some alone time and take long walks to think! You should definitely go on Beautiful day!

Tracy Sung

Perfect place to stroll through the fall foliage! And it's so close to Philly. We went Monday morning and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. There were beautiful streams, creeks, pretty stone bridges and so much more! Very easy trails and plenty of space to bike, run or walk leisurely.

Rhonda Lane

Beautiful park with the most scenic bits of nature. A perfect place, winter, spring, summer or fall

Ajibola Rivers

People who live in and around Philadelphia are truly blessed. This entire landscape is so diversely beautiful, and the park is no exception. I prefer biking to walking and I like to go fast but even I have to stop and admire the scenery. The river, the winding hillside trails, the bridges, the horses (THE HORSES), all of it is wonderful. Note that while a mountain bike makes it much easier to get around it's not a mountain biking trail; there are speed limits, especially on the parts of the path that go up and away from the main trail. Take your time and enjoy the view. You're gonna love it.

Chris Ierley

Great place with in the city to get away from the traffic and hustle bustle of city life. Can get crowded at times during the summer around Devils Pool. But others than that other areas of the park are quiet.

Leanne Michele

This park is gorgeous! Great for running. Not great if you need a restroom. I Couldn’t find one the entire visit. Go before you go to the park.

Matt Reihl

If it wasn't for parking challenges it would be a five. Parking is always a fight so get there early. Creek is stuffed with green sun fish, trout (stocked in spring) and some massive grass carp in select locations. Such a great environment for the family.

Saberah Sayeed

The best trails near Mount Airy , you can go for a much needed walk or even have a lovely picnic, this park even has a restaurant which sells amazing food.

Infinite Soul Love Warrior

I love hiking these trails!!! Nature is necessary and we must show more appreciation. Awesome park and the Friends of the Wissahickon keep it clean and hikable for us!! Together we can help keep it clean by not littering and pickin up after our dogs. (There are many garbage cans along the way.) Thankful for Friends of the Wissahickon for keeping this park protected and beautiful. 🌺💜🌳🌞🌳💜🌺 P.S. FOR ONES WHO TAG TREES AND NATURE: Graffiti should not be done on trees, rocks or ANYTHING NATURAL!! Graf-writing has a real life history. Whoever tags trees and such must not be aware of this. You should research the history of the 4 elements of hip hop including the purpose of Graf/tagging and appropriate locations to do so at. Please stop vandalizing Mother Nature! 🤨🧐

Bonnie Massena

Been coming to feed the ducks since I was a baby. I'm now 42. I still love it. I recently had brunch at the valley green Inn. Delicious and the service was amazing. I highly recommend going there. It's beautiful. But....don't expect to Google anything as the trees block the signal. But people need a break from phones anyway. I mean you're amidst beauty.

usha patel

Love this beautiful valley park. Well maintained park. We had great time.

Ny Ny Nguyễn Phạm

A variety of things to see: statues, bridges and cover bridges, a creek. Space for picnic Good trail, well maintained, for all ages, different level of difficulties, good for mountain biking

R Chang

The park is absolutely beautiful and fun to explore in all seasons!

Mark Goodson

We did the goat hike with benny and Jerry today. Hike was fun to do. We saw it on TV and did it for my wife's birthday. 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 …

Dave Stutzbach

What a mind boggling beautiful hike! This was my first trip here but not my last. We (me and my family, featured in some of the photos for scale) hiked on a hot humid day but with racing waters and an abundance of shade from giant trees it was barely noticeable. While we didn't have time to traverse all the different trails the one we took was one I would consider a more intense hike. Lots of rocks of varying sizes, tree roots, up hill, some climbing depending on your skill level. Someone used to the terrain might not have to resort to using their hands to get past certain parts, but my daughter had moments of scrambling up certain sections. Some light water crossing (if you're careful you can stay dry! Otherwise bring water resistant shoes). There were people swimming in the water, though I believe there are signs saying not to. So swim at your risk! Though the water looked extremely inviting. Speaking of looking... The scenery is breath taking! Gorgeous views at every turn. If you live in or near the Philadelphia area don't skip out on this one!

Abhi Saxena

No issues with the park but my car broken u to there were in total 3 cars that were broken into. Plz beware of where your car is parked. Cops advised they have cars broken into everyday.

Sasha Gonzalez

Beautiful place to go with friends, family or even alone. Will be back to go biking. Is kayaking allowed? And if so, where?

Anassiri Valdez

I loveeee this place!! Challenging trails, fun little nooks and lots of exploration. And at the end of it a creek to refresh.

Angela Z-Frace

07/10/2022: Ever since my first hike here 3 years ago, it has become my and my hikibg group’s favorite place to hike, especially in warmer seasons. Shady wooded trails for hiking: I went there with a group last Sunday, 07/20/2019. Although the weather was hot, it was much cooler and nice in the park. Lots of people swimming in the river. And a lot of families with kids picnicked and even cooked at the river bed. Young people were having fun jumping from the bridge into the river, some jumping into the pond down another bridge in the valley. Looked fun but really dangerous. If you go hiking, better go earlier as when we left after noontime, lots of families were coming to the valley. Then we even got caught at the traffic when we were exiting the park.

jess frasher

Fantastic outdoor space to hike, mountain bike, and walk your dog. Better in the fall/winter when the park quiets down a bit. Dog approved!

Pablo Rodriguez

Beautiful place for hiking and enjoying nature with the family.

Will Laohoo

One of our favorite areas to hike - Forbidden Drive, Andorra Meadow, and we haven't even checked out the other trails off of the Forbidden Drive! It does get fairly crowded, which is one of the drawbacks, but it's very scenic and a fun way to spend some time on a nice day. I've also run along the trail with some friends, which was a fun experience.

Anna Greenwald

Amazing. You just can't get better than this in a city. For hikers, use All trails to find a trail off the main Forbidden Drive path. There are a ton of offshoots with unique scenery. Families with young kinds and strollers will want to stick to Forbidden Drive. Do be aware that on a few trails (especially the Yellow Trail) there are mountain bikers. Keep your ears out and be ready to move to the side cause they come by very fast!

Alex Parmit

Really good park, in Philadelphia and such a beautiful place. Nice trails with an unexpected challenge. Surrounded with million dollar homes that almost makes you forget that this park is in philly. Different trails that offer hiking, biking and calm walks thru nature. I would highly recommend this park for anyone!

KC

The park was really nice. There are a lot trail challenges going up and down at different elevations. In some parts, you can walk to the creek and walk into the water. You can see people even having their own BBQ by the creek. There were a lot of people swimming at the Devil's pool .. you too can swing from a rope.

Wanyu Huang

My beloved place to embrace the nature - a great place for hiking and photographing, during all the 4 seasons!

Maribel Garcia

Beautiful walking trails, miles both ways. Plenty of stops with picnic tables and bathroom stations. Bike path as well. Dogs get to play in the water....no swimming for us humans but plenty of fly fishing as well being done.

Arun Vangapalli

This is a very big park with history near Philadelphia. Good trials , water creeks, good place for hiking biking, and physical workout. It has red indian statue.

Leanne M

Love this park. There are so very many walking trails and the park is miles long. The maps are pretty easy to read and the park is so big that it is not hard to socially distance. It is so calming and beautiful. Be careful on the trails as there can be a lot of horse sh** though.

Esther Cha

Always love this trail. However, be warned, the trail parallel to the main gravel trail in the woods near the covered bridge, there's a wasp/hornet/yellow jacket nest (we couldn't tell cause we hightailed it out of there). My husband and a kid behind us got stung multiple times. Be careful!

Joshua Perry

Great trails although the parking can be a bit hard to find sometimes.

Rebecca DiBartolomeo

We usually walk the yellow trail offshoot on summit. There is a bench if you walk up to the Henry apartments and a cute little bridge if you walk toward Wise's Mill Road. It's a narrow trail so be ready to herd dogs and children to the edge for joggers and mountain bikes. If you visit both places it's a nice 2 mileish hike. There is limited parking on summit and a little more parking at the trail head. Just remember you are parking in a city and keep your car empty looking. If you go to the yellow trailhead up further on summit you can meander to forbidden drive.

Creative Mind Productions

On a beautiful fall day its the best place to clear your head!

Toby Forstater

Fantastic trails. Great place for a meal! Cat named Tommy :) no trash can so bring what you brought home please and thanks for keeping pa beautiful

Bryan Nichols

Accessed off of forbidden drive where there's parking access. Narrow bridge to get across to the wider walking path is unsafe with minimal room but able to manage due to stop signs and cross walks. Relies on people following traffic laws as most things do when it comes to safety. Stone tables can be found along with benches and access to the stream that runs through the park. My child enjoyed throwing rocks in the water and it wasn't too busy on a weekday morning. It definitely gets busy in the afternoon and on the weekends so if you want a quiet flat woods walk going at a less busy time would be important. I've been many times and although I find other parks better for the convenience and a quick walk or stop off WVP is a mediocre to good option.

Ashley B

It's an absolutely stunning park to visit. My husband and I took a trip there for my birthday back on Sept 5th. The reason for my 3 star review is due to the fact the park needed a lot more guidance and supervision during that holiday weekend. There was a young male driver in a pickup truck that came speeding in way too fast and he almost hit a child in the process. He was driving to the parking lot after crossing the bridge and had to be going 35 or 40 mph. That was very disappointing and scary to witness. Other than that the park is very clean and the staff was friendly.

Wanderlust Isle

I love love love this space. I typically enter at Kitchen Lane. There is parking and easy access to the countless trails. This is a great way to become one with nature. And as someone points out to us, you are worth it!

Angela Lamborn

Beautiful park. Along the walking path is a restaurant. Very unique to have that there. Next time I'll see what the hiking trails have to offer.

Tim G

An incredible gem of a park space just minutes from the city!

Sherin Joy

Awesome park for hiking, jogging and cycling. This park is scenic and beautiful in all seasons. The trails are amazing 😉. If you want to get lost in nature, this is the right place, there are trails in all directions. It’s really pleasant cool forest area, trails are marked, but sometimes you will get lost. It’s a mix of river, wetlands and forest. Some parts of the trails are a bit sunny but most parts have shades. We had a great weekend😘 *There is no FEE, there are several parking lots. It is hard to get parking in the main parking lots, the one near to the valley green inn and the upper parking lot, but there are several other parking lots. MUST HAVE: * Use hiking shoes 👟. * Carry water bottle. Enjoy your day!.

Beautiful walking/hike park with river creek

Anwar Hossain

Wissahickon Valley Park contains 2,042 acres of parkland in Northwest Philadelphia, including the Wissahickon Creek from its confluence with the Schuylkill River to the northwestern boundary of the city with eastern Montgomery County. Visitors travel by foot, bicycle and horse along Forbidden Drive where motor vehicles are not allowed. Side trails off Forbidden Drive lead up into the wooded gorge above the creek along a total of 50 mi (80 km) of trails. Philadelphia Parks & Recreation manages the park as the second largest part of the city's parkland areas, after the slightly larger Fairmount Park. The Wissahickon Valley was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1964, including 1,250 acres of the parkland.

Lolo Nel

Today, was my first time visiting this park for an annual photography hike. Our group of 10 hiked a med-level range trail. This was an interesting experience.

Anchine Liu

This is a nice place to take a hike, great views and surroundings! Also, the restaurant there-Valley Green inn- is a good restaurant place after hiking, just make sure not to order the salmon!

James Yarrow

The best trail system in the Philadelphia area! Legendary 🙌🏻 …

Owen R

A scenic park with a great history, tons of hiking trains, a beautiful river, a few master price bridges, lots of old trees and a herds of deers, groups of squirrels and birds. Park has up hill trails, down hill trails, and flat one which enable almost everybody with any level of physical fitness use it. There is an old brick circular shape sewerage system under some part of the trails built long time ago.

EJ Smith

Well taken care of by volunteers. I appreciate having somewhere relatively close by to enjoy nature. Everyone on the trails are friendly and their are dogs too🙂 …

LuzSelenia Loeb

Really enjoyed the trails! Super pretty place near Philadelphia that have never been to before. Need more parking. Many cars ticketed for parking on street when lots were full. Trails kept up pretty well. Should crack down on activities along the trails and final destinations. Not family or environmentally friendly.

jamie sonday

One of my favorite places to explore. Make sure to bring a mask because the trails are crowded this time of year. Great place to photograph or just enjoy our beautiful Mother Earth

Joseph Steinheiser

The mountain bike trails are good. There are may technical trails. Not so much flow. Great for hiking especially considering this is right in the middle of the city

Stephen Vetter

Beautiful paved and dirt trail park within a few miles of downtown Philadelphia. A wonderful escape from the businesses of downtown. They dirt trail truly place you into the rugged woods while seemingly taking you into unknown foliage while still provides wonderful overlooks and the occasional creaks. The paved trail ran mostly along the river which proved wonderful sounds and smells, albeit the trail was much busier than the dirt trails. Only explored 5-6 miles, but I will be back!

Luxin Zhong

Beautiful place to visit in autumn!

Alex Kearns

Great park for mountain biking and hiking. The yellow trail has some great MTB sections with some flow, berms, lots of technical rock drops, and a fun jump line. Hiking on the white trail is very scenic and has a lot of variety including a big native American sculpture, the devil's pool, dams, and a covered bridge. Parking can be tough and the park is quite crowded on nice days. The upper forbidden parking lot worst case has a lot of on street parking right nearby.

Elizabeth Ann Rose

I love this park!!!! I've been going here since I first moved to Manayunk in 2018. Even now that I'm in the city I'll take trips to this park just to experience true nature without having to travel too far. There are multiple pathways all of varying difficulty with rivers, bridges, and many many trails. Highly recommend visiting if you're in the area or if you want to escape the city for a bit and get back to your roots ❤️

Kingston Ko

Great park in the suburbs with lots of scenic options. There are many trails and entry points to the park with great photo opportunities! I will say some of the trails are not marked all that clearly so if you get too far in try to remember some landmarks getting back. The trails are on google maps as well though. We will be back for many more visits!

Dev Rajhansa

Great nature get-a-way right here in Philly. Nice hiking , biking, running, and even horse back riding trails with access to the creek and some interesting hidden gems! One of my most favorite places in Philly! Trails range from very easy to somewhat challenging. Great introduction to nature. Almost every trip I see many people walking their dogs.

Heidy Murillo

The scenery is beautiful! Very serene and engaging trails. Lots of benches scattered here and there to rest. Easy to navigate with children and other hidden path ways for a more challenging climb.

Maria Andrianos

Offers lots of great trails for all ages and activity levels. We walked along the Forbidden Drive, saw the Statue, and hung out by the waterfalls. Highly recommend!

Claire

In my experience, this is a safe area to exercise in. Many cyclists and walkers go here. The trail is usually quiet although, at some points, traffic noise can be heard due to the highway being parallel to the trail (separated by a river).

Megan Wilcox

Nice park for an easy hike or stroll along the road. Lots of trees here, and it doesn't get just tons of sun - great for people who try to protect themselves from the sun. I did just go hiking here, and with the virus, it was packed and a little uncomfortable at places because fellow hikers wouldn't step out of the way to let us pass (we moved over, they didn't). I essentially could have touched three or four people if I hadn't been super careful. If you're in the Philly area and concerned about the virus, then definitely drive further out to a different area to hike.

Breanne Coll

Something for everyone. Harder rocky hikes for those who want a physical challenge and paved trails and benches for those who just want to relax with nature. Clean & lovely. Great to bring the dog!

Theresa Perry

Great place for social distance and taking in nature's beauty. Early mornings are best and not too busy plus it's cooler. The sun rays are perfect.

Nik Stamps

Beautiful, amazing, incredible, it's one of the greatest parks in the world! It's actually the largest park in a city in the United States, I have spent a lifetime hiking this park and even filmed a documentary about it that is on YouTube. If you live in Philadelphia you really should discover this park. Each visit you have will not be the same as before and you will discover new things every time!

Emmie T

Love the Wissahickon - Babbling brooks with easy and challenging trails, it's a site to behold and experience. I've led a walk and have attended hikes of varying difficulty. Look for hidden gems line the Tedyuscung statue. It's a breathtaking statue of a Native American man looking out into the distance. Run, walk, hike, but take some time to drink in the surroundings.

JL E

Love to walk in this park as it is relaxing as well as a good exercise. Has many thing to see while you walk, jog, hick or bike

Erin Lightheart

A Philadelphia gem! Our family loves hiking/meandering here. Lots of trails, something for any level hiker.

aditi singhai

Oh. What a beautiful place right in the middle of a busy hustling bustling city. Went on a cool, breezy day. Was amazing. It's so Serene and quiet. I could walk here and explore nature all day long. People come to fish, dogs have fun in the water as well. There are two options you can choose. One route takes you in the jungle with no proper trail board to walk on and the other one is mainly paved road, but the view is pretty anyway.

Jonathan Batista

Gorgeous place. First time here during the snow and it was stunning. Make sure you have proper shoes/boots as a lot of the trails are steep.

JT Kim

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city into WVP. Great park for its proximity without view of tall buildings like Grand Central Park. I come here to hike, meditate, forage, and sometimes dip my feet in the creeks and Devil's Pool. Wade at your own risk! I've seen other parkgoers come here with their mountain bikes, horses, and dogs of course. If you're a treasure hunter like me, you will notice all sorts of easter eggs.

Brian Valentine

I have been to the park many times and every trip is a new adventure. Miles of trails of varying degrees of difficulty, all well marked and formed into loops with criss crossing interconnected trails that stradle both sides of the Wissahickon river. There is a main thoroughfare walkway with a gravel surface and little elevation change. For the more adventerous all the trails that branch off of it are a typical mountain trail with varying degrees of incline and elevation change and composed of dirt and rock. There are caves, wildlife, flora, waterfalls, swimming spots, places to climb, picnic, bridges, and a path on top of a historic aquaduct that brought water into Philadelphia. Parking is easy and in most areas free, and pet friendly. If hiking isnt you speed bring the mountain bike! Want horsepower? There is no better experience than taking in the fresh air and scenery while in the saddle. The park is well maintained and very clean. It is the largest city park in the nation and minutes from center city. I definitely recommend a visit.

Edgar Ortiz

🌳 Great place to walk and connect with nature. & also to do great cardio and leg exercises the view inside the Forrest is breath taking i went with my bro raul & sis in law maria and we walked all araund 1st the settle straight path and we went in the other side thats rocky mountain paths we had a great time, i took a lot of pictures and will be comming back. 5 stars to the park path cuz the restaurant its expensive we went in and ask how much for a burger we just wanted a quick bite and the girl told us they we're $ 18.00. Bucks Really? 😣lol and we was out and end up in margaritas👐 and had a great meal for less lol but besides that i love the park and we will be back. 🌄

Juli Bobman

I've been running in this park for 25 years. It is so beautiful and a perfect place to run, walk, ride bikes and hike. There are many challenging hiking trails and a many beautiful features like the red covered bridge, the Valley Green (restaurant) and Cedars House. Very family friendly, and furry friend friendly.

Muhanned Alsaif

So beautiful and big. Perfect for hiking (not high altitude hike), cycling & running. The place is pretty long and there are so many entrances, so you can easily get lost. I recommend checking their website before going.

Karem Espinosa

This place is huge. It has several entrances and It can be confusing when you come back twice, or several times.. We marked the valley green Rd as favorite way to get there. As you park here, you have access to restrooms, a restaurant, horse ride, you can bring dogs, bikes, strollers, cayaks, the whole family, go for a run, hike. It's a place to feel free. As a mother I wouldnt come here alone on week days, for safety reasons.. Since It's too lonely. But, weekends it's fine. But, it tends to feel safe in general. There are parts where the dogs can get in the water, and the walks are infinite for the family. We love it. ➡️Use your precautions for ticks on your dogs, and mosquito bites it's a wild park! ✅Get Cámaras ready it has amazing panoramas ✅Bring your water ✅Snacks ✅Baby stuff (if needed) 😎 Enjoy your walk 🚵🚶🚶

Jack Cairborne

honestly one of my favorite places in all of Philly love taking a hike here always feel better afterwards definitely definitely recommend

Loretta Lisowski

Beautiful with trails on both sides of the creek. Historical markers and bridges. Dog, bike, runner friendly.

Matthew Harris

This is a beautiful place for the family. It has walking trails and bike trails. It has a playground.

BR izm

Great hike for beginners as well as the advanced trails for everyone. If you start at the valley green inn on forbidden drive it's a central point on the trail. Great starting point. Normally the inn has a little stand to buy drinks and food. Great place for a small picnic as well.

Charles Ánima

I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery — air, mountain, trees, people. I thought, "this is what it's meant to be happy". I've been recently diving into my newest hobby of mountain biking, but more so my absolute obsession with nature itself. If you're interested in taking a stroll through life, look no further. They say to walk in nature is to witness a thousand miracles and this places will show you why. This place has bike trails, walking trails, recreational parks, rivers, fishing, cliff jumping, barbecues, ponds... you name it, you'll be finding yourself involved with something or someone one way or another. Wissahickon Park is definitely for all ages and all walks of life. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Especially to those who go out in nature to be soothed, healed and to have their senses put in order. Hope I catch you out here!

V Mengelle

Beautiful park, walked the devil’s pool and found the most wonderful view! I will come back soon! 😍Pics taken 10-06-2020 …

Ben Flexner

One of the best things in Philadelphia! I have spent hundreds of hours in this park. The trails are amazing and very well maintained and marked. It's easy to learn them and hard to get lost. Based on the season, the park takes on a completely different vibe so you can come hear year round and it's almost like being in a different place, even if you're running or hiking trails that you've been on before. The only drawback is that there are lots of dog owners who let their dogs go off leash, even though it's illegal anywhere in the park, and I've had a couple of encounters with dogs where they went for me. I've never been bitten, but I know people who have, so just be wary of strange dogs you may meet in the park.

Sue Spolan

Excellent place for a hike within city limits. Many cool things to explore. Literally cool. Temperatures inside the park are way lower than the surrounding concrete jungle of the urban landscape. You could probably explore the park for months and not see the same thing twice. Google maps has been great with showing the trails, so bring your phone and you’ll never get lost. Lots of terrain options, from completely flat to steep climbs. Enjoy!

Wanda Feazel

Acres and acres of trails and sites. It's pretty popular. You will always have plenty of variety of trails to walk....it's a winner. ..... I wanted to add that you will see many dog walkers come to the park with just about every breed of dog you will ever find. Bicycles are not permitted on every trail and there are signs to guide you. I don't think there are many you can't cycle on. Horses are permitted, I guess, most places. I don't know that there is any rules for horses except for your own good judgment.

Michael Harris

Great urban park. You would never know you were in Philadelphia. We just took a short walk. The trails are easy. Beautiful!

Yuli Marcela V.

Wissahickon Valley has a several entries this part is at Forbidden Dr Lower Lot, this trail is so magic, there is desconnection with your Wi-Fi and there is connection with nature all the time, also you can go with your pet if you prefer it. I love to go this place with my family and we'll doscover other entries soon. Be careful when you are in the forest with the snakes, insects, poison ivy, and ticks; your dog always need to go with leash. So, if you have an adventure soul, this place is absolutely for you. Enjoy it but care about it too, take your garbage all the time with you and put it in the near trash can.

An absolute beautiful hike. The trails are great and fall walks are not to be missed.

Donna Holland

Always my happy place! Beautiful, rustic, friendly smiles along the trail, diverse... You can walk/ride a bike on the paved path or take a hillside hike... In either case my dogs and I love it!

Richard Miller

Cute and convenient area to soak in some nature just off the Forbidden Drive Trail. Seating and tables if you want to have a little picnic, or just relax for a bit. You're still going to hear the traffic as it's right next to the road, but you'll also hear the wind and the stream going by. Wouldn't plan a vacation here, but definitely a great place to take a break.

tyrone dennis

It was awesome first time didn't take those bumps and curves serious exited with a flat. ILL BE BACK

chandler slaton

This is a great park for many different trail walkers. There is a crushed rock trail with stops for food and drinks. That trail is wide and well traveled. There are more wooded trails with small creeks and bridges along the way. Then there are the rockier trails for more experienced walkers. When I went along one of the wooded paths I found that Google maps was helpful to pick the destination I wanted to travel. There are signs on the trails to indicate how far to the next location. Worth the exploration.

Sushant kumar

Very nice place for hiking and picnic. Fall season is the best.

Luat Pham

Great place to take a walk, hike, or run. No entrance fee, parking right inside by the trail

Michelle Francavilla

Gorgeous place to take a walk or a hike, especially in the fall when the leaves are changing colors.

SC

Expansive park with plenty of trails It's in an urban area but it feels secluded and peaceful

Paul Hudspith

Amazing place & after 10yrs of visiting from the UK it’s still the best place I’ve found in Philly. You just feel so immersed amongst the natural beauty & every summer I take a dip in the bubbling waters of the creek. Love it here!

Emily Davis

It was beautiful, just be careful as there are rocks and roots and trees in the trail that make it hard to walk. This time of the year, the water is nice and cold and gives you a great chance to just walk in the water to cool off for a little bit

Jennie Wilber

Fabulous views (even saw horseback riders!) And there's something here for everyone - on one side of the river is a paved trail and on the other a slightly rocky one for the hiking adventurist. Be aware of paths where mountain bikers might wiz by and you'll have a great time.

Christopher Murphy

Beautiful Oasis in Northwest Philly. You can walk, bike, jog on one side of Wissahickon and hike on the other.

Jd

Awesome place! Nice creek running through the middle of a "paved" trail and a rough one, your pick! Biking, running, benches and well marked trail! A must visit!

Thomas McGovern

Loved the trails. The geese & ducks were great as usual. Pleased to see restaurant open for lunch as well as snack stand open. Wonderful park to walk in, run in, learn history etc. Indian stone is worth the longer difficult trail. Great place to catch up with significant other, friend, family , business associate if they are active. The lunch is where you can close the deal

Kathy Curry

In the city but easy to imagine you're in the foothills of the Rockies. Great hiking, biking, running, walking, fishing etc. Get off the main trail (forbidden drive) and the people disappear. Main trail is 5.3 miles of loose gravel, some small hills. Another 1.3 mile paved trail gets you to entrance to Manayunk or beginning of Kelly Drive. We love it all seasons!

Molly Waldeck

This is a nice place to hike, nestled <45 min drive from center city Philadelphia. However, there's inevitablly limited parking every time you arrive. While there are a nice mix of trails available for different levels of challenge and ability, they are almost always busy. A few too many visitors leave trash scattered through the foliage. Definitely give this park a visit, but understand you won't be getting peaceful solitude in this slice of nature.

Winnie Gomez

We're in love with this park , the trails are great the river is beautiful

Ariel Russell

I’m absolutely obsessed with this park. Excellent schist outcrops, for any rock/geology fans out there!

Grant Byrne

Definitely a huge surprise if you've never been here before. The Wisshickon is an area that is so lush and green it doesn't feel like it could belong in Philadelphia. I use this place for the miles and miles of trails for running.

Iurii Novak

Unforgettable! I never mind about so huge park in Phila. I am living in North East. And every weekend have been jogging at Pennypack Park. I am so excited Wissahicon and old historical victory in Germantown, where the park is beginning. Take kids or girlfriend, pets, or bike and go ahead. Nice waterstream, fishing, climbing and just hiking.

Rishabh Ranjan

Awesome place for long walks with family and friends. Ample parking space. Beautiful view in Fall.

ahsan Pervez

True Gem of Philadelphia city. Lots of walking trails ranging from mild to moderate difficulty levels. This place can get very crowded. Parking can be challenging. Come early to find a good parking spot and enjoy the day

rakma mehra

4 stars because it wasn’t that clean. A great hike experience with beautiful views of lakes and old trees, the pathways are good, little more directions along the way will be good for new comers, but there is a map outside the entrance which helps.

cherrsaw1

Beautiful area to hike and explore. Quite a few trails to go down. Well maintained

Shannon Stanish Wynne

Walking in Wissahickon Park is peaceful and relaxing. The park is a Great place to hike, see some wildlife, shoot some photos, and just enjoy the splendor of nature.

Aracelis Torres

We absolutely love this park! Awesome views, great parking, and always people walking and exercising. The park feels so alive and is so clean.

Frank Sorbello

Great place to bring family, friends and pets of the barking variety. Well-maintained trails and scenic views. Lots to discover and you'll want to discover it all!

DOCTOR GIL

The whole park is beautiful and has great hiking trails and a wide walking path. Parking is really tough to find. Get there early.

Ryne Rivell

Great place for a good hike, fishing, or taking a run. Beautiful scenery and mostly clean... Some people can't find the trash cans 10 feet away, so we collected the debris. Please go and enjoy this gem of Philadelphia, but clean up after yourselves.

David Senoff

Great place to take pictures of fall foliage, right now. Ample free parking on West Chestnut Hill Ave or Seminole street, with easy access to the park.

Rachel DiGregorio

Fantastic hiking spot! We spent 3 hours here and only saw a fraction of it. Took the meadow hike to do some bird watching and stopped along the way to enjoy all the views. Definitely coming back on my next trip to Philly!

Evelyn Wells

Fantastic interesting hike. The Devils Hole area is filthy with too much trash for me to pick up. The people that left it there should be ashamed of themselves.

Phil Walton

Went for a hike today on the Wissahickon Creek Gorge Trail with some friends. It amazes me that there's this beautiful oasis of nature surrounded by Philadelphia on all sides. 😊 …

Christopher Ross

Nice neighborhood park. Unfortunately there are some neighbors in the area that were vocal about the amount of traffic this park brings to them. (There were three other cars besides mine). Oh well.

Andrea Kellner

I love this place. It is one of my favorite trails in the city limits of Philly. My dog even gets excited when we are riding the train to this place.

Sydia Skinner

I always love walking through this area, it's peaceful and serene.

Mark

A great place to hike or just sit and take in the beautiful scenery. A wonder of nature right in the city.

Jordan Moghanaki

A great park with a nice trail system and a beautiful creek. I have enjoyed my time walking/biking around the Wiss!

Justin Stillwell

Great place for a mild to moderate hike with multiple trail options. Also has a tow path along the canal for running/walking/biking

Keydy Mendez

Super peaceful, very easy hike. Love that it’s dog friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

Fran Devinney

Scenic trail along the Wissahickon Creek in Philadelphia offers hikers a comfortable and generally easy walk in beautiful Fairmont Park. Historic Rittenhouse Village is along the path with homes predating the American Revolution.

Kate Powers

A beautiful park for philly locals and visitors alike! We hiked to Devil’s Pool and then ventured to the other side of the river to walk along the gravel trail. Definitely planning on coming back to explore some more!

Paul DeLuca

The Wissahickon is a place of both great beauty and history. There is the natural flora and fauna that's experienced a resurgence in past years. There are also historic relics that show areas evolution through the Industrial Revolution. The Livezy Mill, Thomas Mill Covered Bridge, Tedeyescung Monument, Valley Green Inn, and Rittenhouse are just a few landmarks that showcase the areas rich history. I grew up on Henry Avenue and the Wissahickon was my backyard. While I have not one bad thing to say about the Wissahickon itself, I am saddened to see the way new "residents" of the area are treating the area in regard to litter and vandalism.

Luis Ruiz

Nice, dangerous for small kids, not recommended for under 10. Weed smoking, drinking, sometimes a bit hood. Over all good to hang out with friends..

Kelly Hinton

Tons of trails to explore. Just make sure you pick a trail ahead of time because there are multiple parking areas depending on what trail you're talking.

Naveed Pervez

This place is amazing, a park having a restaurant built in 1800s and still in business, its a highly recommended park for all sorts of activities, even a place where you can plan your wedding ceremony. Views are heart touching, neat and clean place, best for locals and must see for tourists.

Serge Small

We had a nice hike on the easy trail, as I have some back problems. The trail, Forbidden Trail, follows Wissahickon Creek all the way. It is very lovely to walk by the water, but there is one spot where two families of geese with goslings were congregated; naturally, the parents were hissing at everyone that walked by, but that is instinctive. The trail is concrete and asphalt, and everyone on it is very polite. There are other, more difficult trails, with grades ranging from around 8% - 10%. One day, when I am healthier, I'lll try those.

Samantha Winterburn

So many trails to hike. Dog friendly. Parking is slim in some spots but you can find street parking. Crowded on nice days but you can find some trails pretty empty still.

Angel Hartwell

Alot of different types of sections to hang and see, very large. Hartwell lane does not loop around and I ended up cutting threw at the end to get to my car because it was getting dark 🤣 I loved it!! Beautiful river, water fountains to drink water outside, dinning area to eat food, many picnic tables. THIS PLACE HAS EVERYTHING. just be prepared for a BIG adventure. ❤️🪬💯

Chris Meade

Great dual paths one for hiking and a flat for more basic exercise the scenery is amazing

Natalie Fraize

The best hidden treasure I’ve found in this area! Great trails for anyone looking to get outside and see some beautiful nature!

LoveStruck Pictures

Love the Wissahickon!! I’ve been coming here almost everyday for 4 years and there’s always something new in nature to enjoy ✨

Annemarie Mahoney

Great walking along Forbidden Drive Trail. Beautiful fall day with all the leaf colors

Brooke Hardy

Gorgeous. Well-maintained. Most people are not following mask protocols, so I had to wear two masks in order to mitigate the those who were selfish, and didn't wear one.

Lizzie Mueller

Great place for a hike. There's lots of different trails for different terrain abilities and scenes. Lots of little waterfalls and a few cool bridges to see. A good spot to take kids. I'd say the difficulty of most trails are minimal, just watch for spots that have lots of rocks and roots where the trail becomes a little thin. Also a good spot for fishing.

Jonathan Richardson

One of the best city parks I have had the opportunity to thoroughly explore. You can hike here all days if you go up on the trails up in the hills and away from the main traffic of the creek. So much wildlife to spot, just a short trip from Philly. Every time i need a refresher i take the drive up here and clear my mind. A true life saver!

Michael Ramirez

Literally one of my favorite places in the world. The trails are beautiful so many different options. Plenty of great photo opportunities. Highly suggested.

Dung Nguyen

Please excuse my dog in the pictures but this place really is great! It's dog friendly and even though the signs say to leash your dogs, I didn't see anyone who did. There are a LOT of trails that branch off from each other and it's very easy to end up on a pretty empty trail. The space is really great and there's even a cafe along the trail. I come here twice a week!

Alden

This is where Saul High School is and it is an agricultural school. It was cold now but I was able to get some pictures of cows in a barn.

Sunjay Sharma

Great spot with restaurants, rivers and epic trails. Only beef is it isn't big enough!!!

Christopher Reichert

Even though this was a center of industry in the 19th Century, you would never know it. The waterfalls and crumbling moss covered stone walls give you some hint. This is a gem along the lines of Boston's Emerald Necklace.

Melissa Michaluk

Gorgeous park, great escape from the city. Clearly marked trails. Beautiful views and scenery. Water was clear, fall foliage was breathtaking.

Nunna Business

This is one of my favorite Philly trails BUT Philly...PLEASE remove this eyesore. This Porta potti has been here for several weeks. It's time to remove it. Let's keep our parks clean and clutter free.

Sarah Kirsch

Beautiful as always! Great for a romantic stroll, walking your dog, a jog, or even biking!

Leah Golubchick

Beautiful family friendly park with more intense options for hikers!

EJ Rossetti

A gorgeous park with plenty of views, historical secrets, and trails for all skill levels.

G Becerra

My favorite place in Philly.. You won't be disappointed!!! You can walk, hike, run, bike and much much more!💓 …

A K

Great place for hiking,jogging and fishing. Caught three trout this past weekend. And checked out the Indian statue in the woods during my hike that's been there since 1902.

Jeng-Ru Wu

Perfect place for a walk in the nature! Calm and refreshing.

John Krick

Great Place to hike and explore. Could use some additional bathrooms

Steven Kearns

Beautiful park with great trails for mtb and hiking. Lots of cool features. Just watch out because horses are allowed on the trail and the riders frequently don’t pick up after them.

Linda Statham

I liked the wide walkway and the treelined forest. I also liked the long distance. It would be extra nice if they had more signs of where you are along with Port-a-potties.

Andrew Ryan

Beautiful park and super long trail. Great for biking, hiking, walking your dog and kids or even riding on your horse (not a joke). When you're walking this trail, you'll forget that you're anywhere near Philadelphia. You'll always be next to a creek, so you'll always feel cool.

Emmanuel Gonzalez

It's a beautiful park but the people who visit it leave trash everywhere. There is no regard for the environment. There are no signs for fines nor trash cans anywhere. Really such a shame people don't know how to take care of their surroundings and pick up after themselves.

Sarah Grace Wood

Great hiking and biking a short drive from Philly. Forbidden Drive is a wide, gravel road that runs along the Wissahikon Creek, perfect for jogging or walking with strollers. A variety of trails criss-crossing the creek and the drive offer more-challenging hiking and biking with pretty overlooks. There are multiple trail entrance areas, but I prefer Valley Green Inn because of free restrooms and a snack bar available during the summers.

B Sln

Awesome scenic relaxing clean place

Alison Levy

An oasis of nature, great for getting away from the aggression and stress of the city and surrounding area. Wide mostly gravel paths allow for easy trail use by walkers, runners, cyclists, dogs, strollers... Sometimes it can be a little busy, but because of it's size, it never feels like it.

Dan

It's such a beautiful little escape from the hectic city life. You can find yourself immersed in nature and can really admire the beauty of this trail.

Lorraine Schneider

Great place to hike and see beautiful views, with wide trails that are groomed. Lots of benches if you want to stop and enjoy the scenery.

Jennifer Siropaides

Love the nature walks and animals I see. Outsiders of the area ruin it by being gross in the summer. Places to avoid is Devils Pond.

Elgin Brewster

Great for any type of outdoor entertainment. My dog absolutely loves running around the trails.

Steve Karamitopoulos

Nice mix of rough terrain and easy-going trails. Hike, bike, ride horses, you or stroll. There's even a restaurant. Feed the ducks or watch the water go by. It is peaceful even though you're right in the middle of the city. There are reminders, the traffic, the bridges, etc. but it's easy to disregard them. I've been going there for years and I never get tired of it. I am frequently finding something new or gaining a new perspective. On this trip I discovered a new trailhead I didn't even know was there.

Walta Ownzu

I love this park, it's absolutely beautiful to walk through and take in the sights. Some of the trails are pretty steep though, so be ready for a hike in some areas.

Sandeep Pinjerla

Beautiful park with long and well maintained trails. Some trails can be very steep and caution is advised. Bonus - It’s close to Philadelphia downtown. Love it in every visit. Got some park benches along the stream. Parking is available in multiple areas. Great place to spend evenings. Do not feed the birds though.

Fay Johnston

Best place to experience the outdoors, in Philadelphia. There are 67 miles of trails for you to walk, hike, bike, of run. You can fish or swim in the waters. You can bird watch, or forage. There are many access lots for parking. There is a restaurant and a cafe along the main trail that you can take a break at. There is a public restroom. The park is well taken care of -- there are many volunteer opportunities!

Ginevra Czech

My favorite place to explore. Lots of great hiking trails.

Marie Gonzalez

This is such a beautiful place anytime through out the year. I have went summer, fall & winter. To me it looks like from a movie. Great place to escape the city life & to get in contact with nature.

Katharine Johnson

Miles of beautiful trails for hiking and biking. Decent elevation. Beautiful waterscapes. Bridges. Flat running trail on one side.

Tina Postell

Great place and views of the water,grass and trees. Was lovely ride around the park. Nice!

Jay Friedman

A beautiful place to go to be with nature. Choice of trails at different levels of difficulty.

Kevin Mogee

Great place for a not too difficult hike and a great place for dogs to swim!

Delia Sanchez

I was surprised with how many people were at the park. It was definitely overcrowded but the trails were great. I will visit again, just not on the weekends.

Sai Ravali

This place is so close to the city and also accessible by public transportation. My favourite place to hike. The trails vary in intensity and the fall foliage is excellent here. It has scenic spots and I also did a pre wedding shoot for my friends here. If you're looking to connect with nature, this is an excellent spot. I'd recommend going to Wissahickon transportation center and hiking all the way up to Chestnut Hill west, where you can catch 23 and enter the city. My go-to place for hiking, photoshoots and fall colors!

Rob Evans

Great trails for adults and kids up for a small challenge. Great views and small falls along the way.

Christine DeVose-Cowans

Great park in the middle of a big city! Miles of trails!

Harikailash Gopalakrishnan

One of the best place around to go on for a hike. U can just feel the pure nature sounds. Don't miss The Devils Pool... it's full of fun😎👌🏻 …

LarisaNichole C.

Very nice, scenic and calm place to visit. Extra gorgeous during the fall season. Even found a little garter snake 🐍🐍🐍 …

Chenoa Manley

Walked along side the creek which lead us to a beautiful rocky lowlevel area of the creek where you can go out into the middle of the creek and sit there. Amazing beauty. Good place to read a book and chill.

Carleen Silva

The water was very low but it's peaceful. Some bikers pass you so quickly without giving a warning, it's nerve wracking

Saqib Shakil

Great place to walk and bike, see, smell and watch nature.

Elise Kight

The Wiss is a beauty of a spot to explore! The flowing river , horseback riders, old stone fountains and interesting history makes for a great day of adventuring!

M Smith

Great natural riverbank space for walking, biking, relaxing, hanging out, or feeding ducks. Extensive network of trails along river and up on higher ground.

Terry Lundy

Breathtaking paradise. These woods offer a truly astonishing outdoor experience. So close and convenient. All paths there lead to something beautiful.

Karen Hartline

We take our dog for walks here all the time. What's cool about it is Trooper is off the leach along with all the other dogs that walk there. The dog feels freedom when he's off the leach. It's a very clean park except for near the stream that runs through. I believe homeless people camp out down there. Evidence of that are tarps and blankets strewn about.

Yolanda Fley

Great place for history buffs and nature lovers! Small cafe. Awesome picnicking.

Johnnie Keegan

Went rock climbing in the park- there were plenty of anchor bolts and the trails were clear and well-kept. Beautiful park

Karena Garcia

This place was beautiful, and I'd definitely want to go back to check out the other trails!

4FreeRun

Philadelphia's best trail park!! Just a simple and amazing park with lots of history and adventure.

Leeon Robinson

Great place to walk and see some beautiful scenery

Nicholas Banton

Wissahickon Valley Park is a beautiful escape into nature nestled in the midst of one of the most populous cities in America. Each season brings out a different characteristic of the park so you'll discover new vistas throughout the year. Moreover, the trails are easy to moderate and suitable for anyone motivated to go for a walk.

Elizabeth Kollars

Still love riding this trail, challengimg mountain with all sorts of trails to bike or hike or take your horse. Swim in the river or chill at valley green for a beverage.

Mechelle Kelly

I absolutely love this place. It is serene and I felt at peace.

Beth

Beautiful trails for solo walks along the creek bed and through park. Good place to bring the kids & dogs, but note it can get muddy! Watch out for some bikers, who may not slow down around curves.

Matt Parker

I love it here all year round walk, hike, bike and run

Daniel Neuner

Possibly the nicest hiking and mountain biking location within half an hour of Philadelphia (less if you're in Manayunk / Roxborough / the Main Line). Always good for quick adventures, unique explorations, or full day hikes. Nicest in the Fall and very dog friendly (though not a lot of places to throw out their 'deposits' so keep this in mind.) Parking seems always available regardless of how busy.

Barbara A. Preston

This park is lovely. There are many hiking trails, beautiful old trees, ferns, stone bridges, and a crystal clear creek.

Allen Barkus

The Wissihickon Valley Park is one of my favorite places in the historic village of Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia. When one enters the park you get the feeling of entering another era with a feeling that you are nowhere near a major city. The park is 2,000 acres with 50 miles of hiking trails that I try to use as much as possible. There is also an historic Inn, the Valley Green Inn, that is a great spot for brunch and romantic dining. The Inn is also a popular spot for wedding receptions, with weddings also performed in front of the Inn.

WORK HARDER PRODUCTIONS

Very beautiful trails, I love it!!!

Natalie Cooper

Very fun great hike my children had a great time to.

Nisey W

This place is the best. It's a great place to run, walk, jog, bike, swim and some people even go fishing. They have a lot of hiking trails and if you're lucky you'll get to see some animals. Everyone brings their dogs but sometimes you'll see horses. We were more than surprised last weekend when we saw 2 people walking their donkeys. It was so awesome. The people are super friendly.

Erica Burgess

Beautiful place to go.. with the kids n with out so quiet n peaceful please to go

A Z

Great place to hike and enjoy the views.

Kevin Rice

Parking is very abundant the stores are easily accessible convenient with fast-moving cashiers while your in line. There's always a sale going on from the Kohl's to the Acme Supermarket and the Free Library is also in the shopping center to get the small tech things accomplished.

Sophia Wilson

Beautiful Views on Kelly Drive along the Schuylkill River!!! I love the Bridges and Mountains. I run this Trail Everyday!! Best views of Downtown Philadelphia!!

E Savaria Jr

Sure, NYC has Central Park, but we have Wissahickon Valley Park in Philadelphia. Specifically, Forbidden Drive. Absolutely beautiful place in all seasons. Walk, bike or horse ride the well maintained paths and trails. Stop at the Valley Green Inn for a delicious lunch or dinner or bring your own picnic. There's a quaint cafe at one location. Say hi to the ducks and squirrels.

Susan Javaly

I love taking the dogs to walk here. They love all the smells. It is beautiful.

Just Rohan

Amazing area for hiking and jist plain old enjoying the nature. If you are careful on where you walk you will have an amazing experiance with nature.

Heidi G

Beautiful park. Some dog owners need to learn to keep their dogs on a leash. Whether well behaved or not, some people have been bit by dogs and don't appreciate it. Some people have dog reactive dogs properly leashed and don't need the additional stress. Leash laws need to be enforced here so everyone (including dogs) can enjoy the beautiful park.

Dean Chia

Beautiful trails, both paved and unpaved. The river is a gem.

Jose Luis Baez

A fun park to spin pedals, walk and run.

Olga Malycheva

Massive green space, biggest park in Philadelphia. Variety of trails available, from the flat Forbidden Drive to the challenging trail runs.

Mahmoud Yag

Beautiful trails with various difficulties. There are trails for biking and horseback riding as well. Look for the statue of Tedyuscung! Its a fun little adventure and the view is incredible.

cory spychalski

Always a excellent walk in the woods for any level. Such a fun place to hike with plenty of good views.

Kevin Lyons

We were there as it was getting dark so it was hard to see. The surface of the trail is more level and soft than a typical hiking trail. The trail is 10 feet or more wide. It was designed as a bridle path and is still used by horse riders. So if you are on foot be careful where you step. Thus it's best to use in daylight.

Maureen Haislett

Great spot to hike, relax and breathe. Full of history and nature. Highly recommend...

Barbara Zanelli

A beautiful place to go for a relaxing walk in the woods and recharge

Michael Caiola

We love this park. Its great for kids and pets. Whether you want a brisk walk or a challenging hike this is the place to make your escape too. We always find new trails to explore. It's beautiful all year long. A true gem to escape the city life. We love to do a few miles then end our journey at the Valley Green for an early dinner.

Brenna O'Boyle

My boyfriend and I love hiking here! It is usually very clean and I am never running into people even on crowded day.

Joshua Gregoire

Offers everything from hiking and biking to bird watching and swimming. There is even a restaurant with separate ice cream shop, accessible by car.

Eddie Carroll

A great place for a run, a hike, horse riding, biking, etc...

Natalia Spinelli

Wonderful & Educational Maple Sugar Class! Went with our family (two teenagers, dad & mom) We learned so much!!!!! Maple Tree Tapping demonstration! Maple Syrup Tasting! Highly recommend!!!

Thomas Kalinoski

If you’re visiting Philadelphia and want a short commute to a beautiful miles long state Park with varying degrees of hills, streams, trails, bridges, and historic landmarks go here! Plenty of forests and waterfalls for short or long hikes. Take the dog, but Rufus needs to on a leash at all times. Only drawback; don’t be afraid to use leaves because you won’t find any bathrooms or pot a potty!😲

Nelson Funk

Great place to get reacquainted with nature. Many tails to walk or hike, also beautiful creek to sit by and relax the mind!

Hiliary Leneweaver

Lovely park to hike in, even with your dog! Awesome that it is right in Philly. Paved paths available, lots of cyclists and hikers

Ms. Fleming

My fav place to walk along the creek and hike!

Tim Mccouch

I love this part of the park from the open trails the covered bridges and devil's hole

Martia AugustSky

I really miss this park, and now that the weather is nice well getting there, you can really enjoy the Wisahickon Valley park. However I wish there was a way to treat the water, so it didn't smell bad, when the wind blows..you might want to hold ur breath..lol. other than that. The cute little Valley Green restaurant has the best spot to soak up the the outside ambiance.

Chrissy S

Love trailing running and hiking in the Wiss. Can take it easy on Forbidden Drive or go up and down to the upper trails for a heck of a hilly workout. Not-so-hidden gem just 15 min from downtown.

Pito Gonzalez

Beautiful place for a walk jog hike they have parking & somewhat bathrooms bring your own toilet paper

Glen Vosgerichian (TheGlenerd2)

Wissahickon is my go-to hiking spot near me. It's incredible to believe sich a beautiful landscape is right near the city. I encourage everyone to check it out. The trails are very clean and well maintained. I thank all the volunteers for their hard work.

Zachary

Beautiful park with plenty of great hiking trails.

Jim Smith

Enriches your spirit, walking Forbidden Drive and the many hiking trails of the Wissahickon Valley in Philadelphia.

Sabrina Free

I walked the trail many times, but this weekend was my first time biking it. While Sunday it was crowded, it was still a beautiful and fun ride. It was a work out going up, not too bad coming back down but I enjoyed every minute.

Mark Simmons

It was my first time there and it was gorgeous. The pathways were very wide and well kept up. The scenery was amazing.

Abdur Rahiym 1 Mack

I've been fishing here for years. Excellent place, good family fun!

Van Nguyen

I love this park! My first time here today and I will be coming back. I love the beautiful creek and the reflection of the trees in the water, some people are fishing out there, a few dogs, some horse poop, a bit rocky so be sure to wear comfortable shoes that you don’t mind getting a bit muddy if you plan to walk towards the water, so many beautiful trees, not to mention the sounds of the the wonderful birds there.

Parlay Papi

Perfect place to get a away from the city within the city. Great place for walks, running, and biking

Kari A

Very peaceful and amazing trail

Michael Mangini

I love this park. It's 10 mins from my house and I go all the time. Great for hiking and mountain biking. My only complaint is that it definitely gets crowded but that's expected.

Mara S

Beautiful place, nice trails to hike and spend some time with nature.

May Chan

Great gem for an in city park. So large and so many small trails to explore. Lots of different parking lots at different sections of the park. Great for walking, trail hiking and running, some small boulders for climbing and picnicking. Some parking lots will get full especially on the weekends.

K D

Very pretty. Serene. Just DO NOT TAKE A STROLLER. IDK who suggested this is a trail for a stroller but do not listen. It is no joke lol

Aaron Ellis

One of the most beautiful places on this earth. What a place to walk, run, bike, hike. I'm in love with this place. A real place to clear your mind.

Rachel K

One of my favorite areas to hike in the Philadelphia area. Just a short drive north from city center will lead you to the Wissahickon valley park, where you will find a handful of different trails to hike. The orange trail is my go to trail for an easy hike.

Mirtha Courtney

It's a beautiful and peaceful place to take a walk.

Anthony Galzarano

Great to have 2000 acres of woods right behind my house. Hard to believe that you are in a big city.

Renaaa

nice place for dogs to run and swim!!

Komlan Avoulete

Beautiful place. I truly fall in love with it and I will go every month.

Richard Berends

The mountain bike trails are awesome, I went recently and had a great time. It was a good challenge with some fun, technical and rocky up and downhill sections, doing a ten mile loop we accessed from the licoln drive parking lot.

Norm Castor

Great place to visit! The creek is nice and stocked w trout for fishing or for the little one to look for crayfish and tadpoles Wide walking path the size of a street for a shaded walk where you will likely see people riding horses. Nice walk from Chestnut Hill entrance to Valley Green where can grab a bite to eat or some cold drinks before the walk back

David Gravagno (Shady Monk / Shay.)

I never get tired of this place. Beautiful scenery, wildlife, and an all around great way to recharge, reconnect with nature, and stimulate the senses. There's always a new trail to find. Great place to bring your dog or to go if you just enjoy dog watching!

Veronica Fleetwood

Peaceful gorgeous lots to explore. Motivation for mind body and spirit

Robert C Outterbridge Sr

Beautiful. All year long. Love seeing the seasonal contrasts!

MajinLou

I adore this park. It is so easy to get lost in it for hours and always find something you've never seen before.

Tomo Takebe

Best day hike from Philadelphia, free and accessible by bus. Choose your own difficulty among the the parallel trails and their offshoots.

shannon hall

I went here to fish with my son in law. It's so many different things that you can do. I didn't catch any fish. It was so peaceful just watching the water.

Jose Osorio

I love it but I found out u can't swing in there other people has trash the place n if your going to a special land market of history don't distroy it have coming since

Walter Graham

As most people said, it's a wonderful place for a walk, a hike, a run, or a bike ride. And bring along the pup! Great parking, reasonable choice of well maintained trails and a great historic restaurant located right in the middle.

Cassandra Krill

Beautiful scenery with plenty of trails that you can make the trip to the park whatever you'd like!

E Mint

Gorgeous park with tons of trails and lovely views. I can't wait to come back.

Dan G

Nice trails, well kept...can stay on the gravel parts, or venture on to some of the more interesting terrain on the east side. Public bathroom right by valley green inn

Lila Lawson

This park is great for walking, running, jogging, biking, and swimming. There's a restaurant there, ice cream shop, and public restrooms. It's fun for the whole family.

Katy Miller

Hands down my favorite place to hike. I will drive 45 minutes out of my way to come here

Sonte T

Beautiful trail for every experience. Walking, running, biking, horseback riding and birds watching.

Roberto Burgos

Nice place to go hiking.

Eric Griffin

Great spot to bring the doggos, especially if they love to swim!

Philli Mayne (TLGStuff)

Came out to get few pictures and videos using my iPhone 11 Pro and a 3-Axis Stabilizer Gimbal

Dan

Great park with great trails, and most everyone you pass is friendly. Hopefully you're not afraid of dogs though, as there are tons of dog owners that let their dogs run around off leash. Also, sad to see some parts of the trails with graffiti and ridiculous amounts of litter.

eric Vann

Wissahickon Valley Park is a nice place to visit if you want a nice relaxing day, you forget your are in Philadelphia.

Shannon Sims

This park is a great way to escape the city without even leaving. Fun trails and always something new to find/see. Would love to see more people pack out their own trash rather than liter.

Michelle Neckien

Nice place to walk and run. Not a great place for a road bike. Would be great for mountain bike.

Margaret Gossett

Wonderful hike along the creek! Waterfalls, bird noises, beautiful trees. Everything that makes Pennsylvania exceptionally lovely.

Mike Mokris

Gigantic amazing park with tons of trails and streams. The perfect place to spend an afternoon. Parking can be difficult depending where you access the park.

Genevieve Chambers

Great walking, running, biking trail. See lots of wildlife right in the heart of the city.

J A Y Newson

Beautiful trail on a nice autumn day 😍👉🏿🍁 …

Angel Galindo

Large parking lot. Beautiful place to get away for a few hours.

Linya Mason

Great place to walk among nature with your favorite doggie!

Bill Craelius

River covered bridges rocks to sit on and observe wildlife.

Hungus the Third

Very scenic, even in the winter. Also very clean, don't recall seeing any trash whatsoever.

Maureen Fleming

Such a beautiful place to hike! There are so many trails so you can choose which ever one is best for you!

Marty Bockhorn

Beautiful park to walk,run,bicycle or walk your dog.

Joseph Alfonsi

Literally a million adventures await you here. So many trails and paths and you can also make your own. Wether winter or summer the beauty is spectacular. Was there again today and found yet another new area.

Mo

Great trails for hiking, running, and biking.

Gilgamesh Endo tensei

Lovely scenery and people, allmost got hit by a tree. 10/10 would go again

Katie A

Such a lovely environment! A lot of different trails at different difficulties for the experienced hiker versus the average walker.

Sarah Katein

Very well maintained trails in a beautiful area. The main trail is very wide, so there's for for everyone.

Anargha Biswas

Trails are easy... Direction boards from parking lot will be helpful.. Devils pool and the dams are not to miss

Amrou Ibrahim

Very pleasant hike and great scenery

Dwight Johnson

Loved it! Have a Great Time on the trails with my son!

Oluwafemi Mora

Liked this place a lot, today I finally stopped here to walk 🚶‍♀️ with my child we had fun. …

Omar Munoz

Great MTB trails if you are looking for some milage and climbing. On the downside there are too many horses and hikers around.

Isaac Schein

Clean and trails well preserved. Great place to hike!

Sheila and Wesley Cummings

So many trails, I didn't know where to start! The orange trail was challenging, beautiful and interesting. My son and my dog loved it yoo!

Jeremy Nace

Always clean and well maintained. Great trails and fun little things for the whole family to enjoy.

Ross Sharkey (Ross Da Boss)

Our golden doodle loves it here and so do we!

McKenzie Law Firm, P.C.

Great hiking with my family on a moderate trail!

OnelovePhotography

Awesome experience finding this gem of a river...

Brian Ly (BRuticIAN)

Very nice park. A little difficult to get to, but the trail and river running througb is a sight to see. If you love being in nature then this is a must see spot. Be prepared for hiking as this was one of my challenges.

Howard Henderson

This park is a breath of fresh air, literally! Where else in the city can you go for a jog, and hear ducks 🦆 quacking? …

lake feet

Very fun. Rockier than I'm used to, but it was nice when I got the hang of planning each step as I walked. Lots of variation in trail width and length. Would go again !

Cody Kleppertknoop

Absolutely beautiful place for outdoor recreation in the city. The Orange and Yellow trails are quieter than Forbidden Drive (the main gravel path that runs through it). The trails that diverge from the creek get steep and rocky; hiking shoes are helpful. There are also many "spurs" from the main trails that connect to other city streets which is very convenient if you want to visit nearby neighborhoods. Google Maps for the most part has all of the trails marked.

Crystal Harrison

This park has loads of walking trails and several parking lots. A large covered bridge came in handy for those dodging the rain showers on Sunday. I always enjoy looking at the rapid rolling lakes. Enjoyable for nature walks or to get your daily exercise in. I also discovered an eatery in the park with plenty of outdoor seating!

Maggie Razzi

Nature in Philly 🙌 .. amazing River and wildlife .. take a breathe and relax and breathe …

David Lee

Really nice varity of trails for hiking n biking. Great place to bring your dog n enjoy the outdoors

Moshe T

A variety of excellent biking and hiking trails with excellent views to boot.

Caitlin Thompson

The park is a gem in Philadelphia. The trails are well maintained and the signage and maps are pretty clear. It is such a beautiful resource and a great contrast to have both the single track trails up on the hillsides as well as the Forbidden Drive trail along the creek. The only downsides are that some folks don't take care of it using a Leave No Trace philosophy and others don't leash their dogs, even though that is the law.

Sarah Giangiobbe

We entered the park at forbidden drive, where we parked along the road. We visited on a Saturday so it was busy but we were still able to hike without too many people around us. The trail was wet and just challenging enough to make it fun. We loved the view of the waterfall and our pup also hiked with us and enjoyed it! We will definitely be back!

Matt Stone

Beautiful park. Easily one of my favorite features of Philly.

Thomas “Tommy” Martorana

20 minutes from downtown Philly. You would never know the city is so close. Great for biking, walking and jogging. Awesome crick/brook and some nice little waterfalls. Main road through park closed to vehicle traffic. A little light on facilities for restrooms so be aware. Many people do, but you SHOULD NOT SWIM THERE due to irrigation run off etc. No cell service down there either. Enjoy!

A P

Great place to take trails and enjoy nature.

Jed Shambeda

This is an amazing park, tons of trails and truly beautiful. Forbidden drive is a super easy walk along the creek and there are many trails up and down the hills on either side. My only complaint would be that parking and accessing the park can be difficult, especially when it gets very busy. Dog and kid friendly, you might even see someone on horseback occasionally.

4ristid3

Very beautiful, awesome walking ways, and for free

Jileesa

If you love hiking or just want to try out some beginner trails then you'll absolutely love this place....get there early it's gets a little crowded after 12 especially on a nice day. It's usually pretty clean, but recently with the nice weather and the 4th of July ppl having been leaving soooo much trash 🤢. A few friends and I went out there and actually ended up picking up a good portion of the trash..but still so much....So yeah it's a great place but please please TAKE YOUR TRASH WITH YOU 🙏🏾🥺💚🌎💫💕

tito cruz

The trails here are perfect ..tons of fun

Robert Shepherd

It was pretty busy on a Saturday. It's a very nice place so it's understandable.

Jared Haverdink

Hard to believe this exists within reach of Philadelphia. Countless miles of great hiking and biking in untouched old growth forest, and plenty of options for accessibility. Generally trash free, and most you meet are friendly on the trail. A must-see if you're visiting. Check out the Valley Green Inn for a midhike snack.

Angiangell GORDON

Went for 3D Archery course for the 2nd time, course was good a little bit of hiking not too bad.

Vincent “License Guy” DiAngelus

Well maintained and great shade for a warm day.

Philippe Ciaramella

This park is stunning and very well maintained. The only issue I feel, was the maps are not very clear as they use similar colors on a similar background to call out the trails. The trails are also not well marked so you don't really know where you are on each trail regarding it's completion or if it is cojoining another trail. I find this more of an issue for non locals like us.

NJ Riff-Guitarist

Great natural area that's still in Philly!

kevin thompson

The kids love this park

Alyssa Ramos

Love this park. Over 50 acres to hike in. Perfect date and picnic location. Catch up with your loved ones while getting exercise. The river is peaceful. I enjoy hiking here but also meditating near the water. This is a great place to bring your dog 🐕. Also tons of walking and biking trails to take so every time you go you can do something different. Easy to get to by public transportation; I took the 26 bus. Of course you can drive there and there is ample parking.

Jackie Tarantella

Always relaxing and fun. Alot of great people to meet

Patricia J

An escape from city life. From just relaxing to a vigorous workout, Wisshickon Valley Park has been my go to since I was a child.

Nada El-Hillal

I absolutely love hiking here. There are so many entrances and you get a different experience depending on which one you go to. Some are rocky, some aren’t as rocky, some have streams, there’s a horse stable near one, there’s a meadow, beautiful trees, one of them is good for going to watch ducks... I can go on and on... something worth experiencing and exploring for yourself... but the scenery is beautiful, and you get really immersed in nature. you can stay for a short walk or a long walk, up to you. I hope this park is preserved for a long time.

A J Myers

I love taking walks through all the different trails.

Maddi

Such a nice park! The trails were wide enough that everyone could stay 6 feet apart. There were also a lot of trails that branched off from the main one. Would definitely recommend for all ages!

Zion Zero

Awesome for hikes or just relaxing away from the city and it's stress.

Heidi Lynne Kurter

My puppy and I LOVED it! We met so many friendly people and dogs!

Sujan Dahal

Nice Bike trail, quiet and peaceful

Joon Im

Great outdoorsy area away from the city. Several trails to find. The gravel main path is stroller friendly. Park itself is also dog friendly. The trail markers are a bit hard to find when off the main road but still able to navigate. The valley green inn, you can drive to, and has a small snack shop on the side. Restrooms are maintained well.

V & V

Very nice park. Forbidden drive is very good for walk. Nice trails for hiking.

Nel M

NICE HIKE AND BEAUTIFUL GREENERY

Andrew Luettgen

Loads of trails. You quickly forget your in a city. Lots of historical markers. Plenty of room for sharing trails.

Taslim M Reza

Nice place to visit, to see the nature, for biking, hiking and family time also.

Richard Levi Cruz

This nature park is great! The main path is an old road so it is wide and smooth. It runs the length of a creek which usually has a good flow, which makes for some great scenery. Lots of trails off the main, several areas to park along, and there is even a neat little café right on the main trail. Great nature walks for the whole family, including biking.

Hanley Rice

Lots of different trails with different scenery so they don't all feel the same. Forbidden drive is mostly paved or gravel next to the creek, so it's good for an easy walk. The other trails are good for hiking and biking. It's large enough that you can keep going back without getting bored. There are enough people that it feels safe, but it's not usually crowded except for summer weekends. There are quite a few free parking areas, and you can easily find street parking nearby. And it's free!

IT Services and Repairs

Our favorite place to visit on the weekends from now on, nature, nature, and more beautiful nature. Well taken care of, great for relaxing.

Dawne

As always, I enjoyed a wonderful hike with a friend and their dog. We explored some of the newer trails in Cresheim Woods on a brisk but sunny day!

LeRoy Decker

Had a beautiful long walk through the Wissahickon Valley Park.

Ellen Perry

So beautiful...enjoy the trails and the peacefulness....

Jiss Jacob Sebastian

Such a wonderful place it is! Its amazing to be there. The calm and quiet atmosphere and the lush green surroundings. Walking by the river and the ducks is an amazing view. Its cool and refreshing. Perfect for a walk with family. Good option for kids as well. Also, the place is perfect for cycling. If you are lucky enough, will get to see some bunnies near by.

Dustin Webster

My wife and I really enjoyed hiking here. We visited pretty early on a Saturday, and even though the weather was beautiful, it was not as crowded as we thought. Some of the main trails, like Forbidden Drive were pretty busy, but the side trails in the southern end of the park were very quiet. At times it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. There is a surprising amount of trails to hike here, but at the same time because it's not actually that big, you can cover a lot of ground. My only complaint is that some of the nicer trails are mixed use for hiking and mountain biking. I understand why they do this, but there were a lot of bikers. Everyone was cool, but it takes some of the enjoyment out of hiking when you're constantly looking over your shoulder, waiting the get run over by a bike. Next time, we will avoid the mixed use trails, but otherwise can't wait to be back!

Vidamar

Clean, wide trails, kids were entertained feeding the geese, most people on the trail are friendly.

Amber Culp

Lots of fun! Def bring some snacks and plenty of water. If you plan to bring kids i recommend staying on the paved trail. The dirt trails can get really steep and slippery.

Ryan Chisholm

Many hidden gems in this park. Plenty photo opportunities.

Hani White

Beautiful peaceful place. Ideal for kids relaxing and riding bikes

Diana Ford

Very beautiful and good for walking/hiking at multiple levels. I love taking the rougher terrain paths (still pretty gentle) but with an old dog you can still stroll along paved trails. I come in all weather and it's always lovely.

Sandy Hartkorn

This was a beautiful walk for my husband and I. We really enjoyed our time. There were downed trees across the main trail which made it tough for cyclists but every person there was so nice that everyone helped each other with their bikes, which was heartening to see. Great scenery and great people made the day special.

Amy Cornell

A very beautiful PA state park with nice flat walking/biking paths. Lots of trees and a pretty stream and a pond with ducks. There is a more difficult path which we haven't tried yet as we always take our grandson who is a toddler. Unfortunately, bathrooms unavailable now due to Covid and parking is very difficult on weekends. We go week days and have no trouble with parking.

Avital Swisa

Beautiful park, very close to center City, and even accessible by public transportation. Perfect for hiking, biking and running. Different kinds of trails, suitable for all activities and levels. Great for picnic by the creek and dipping in the water in nice days.

Kelsey Black

Love love love this place. Always a new adventure, whether you like biking, running, or walking. Nice gravel trails as well as hiking trails following the Wissahickon river. I come here almost every weekend for some fresh air. It’s such a beautiful escape so close to the city.

Ray Rodriguez (ThoughtProvoke)

We had a great walk it is plenty of shade

Massiel Pereira

Beautiful park, perfect for a low risk hike

Kate DeForest

This park never gets old . . . Gorgeous hiking trails

Pete Rhein

The best wilderness inside Philadelphia. A few hundred feet from the entrance and the city will disappear. There will be other Philadelphians enjoying it, but if you try a little you can get lost and alone. (That's meant to be positive.) Please don't litter, and if ya see someone else's litter, try and carry it to the next rubbish can. It's our park. Want to help more? The Friends of Wissahickon do a great job planting and rebuilding and maintaining, all on their own time and dime!

Joseph Singer

Miles and miles of trail to trek and premium views!

Rosely Doms

Such a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Wissahickon Valley Park

Erin Wolff

Great trail for running or riding bikes. Tons of people here though and parking and driving in and out can get a bit dicey. Be warned, this isn't a totally flat path either. No, it isn't a "hike" but it will affect your running for sure!

Brittney Lee

Crazy to think that this is just a short 15-20 mins outside the city. Beautiful scenery with such rich history!

Justin Marinucci

We have been going for years and still find new trails.

Daniel Buck

I explore this area for a long time. There is always something to learn about.

Jakeer Hussain

Multiple different trails and beautiful hikes to choose from. Some routes are shaded from the sun making hot day more easily bearable. River is nice

Hoa Duong

Beautiful and a lot to explore

Tyler Lewis

It was a nice park, with enjoyable trails. My girlfriend and I hiked the yellow trail, however the trail markers are very confusing and, frankly, just poorly designed. The confusion ended up adding .6 miles to an already 6.9 mile trail. Plan to use an electronic map/gps at every trail crossing to keep on the right path!

James Pinola

Great place to hike, walk a dog, have a picnic, etc. You'll even see some people cool off in the water during the summer. On nice days it might be tough to find parking.

Michael Lynch

An excellent, well maintained system of wooded trails along the river. Great for hiking and mountain biking, dog friendly too! Its less than 30 min from down town Philly making it an excellent morning or afternoon excursion.

Johnny Lopez

Amazing scenery. It feels as if you're walking inside of a painting. At the height of spring, a canopy of trees provides refreshing shade. During fall, you'll be able to see some of the most beautiful and picturesque scenes nature has to offer, so taking pictures here is definitely worth it. It's a fantastic place to bike, walk you dog, run, jog, etc.

Keisha Sonpon

Hiking trail that also has a lake for swimming found on the Devil's Trail.

Walter Price

Had a great walk in a beautiful park.

Steven Trachtenberg

Went biking on this main trail. Signage well displayed along the route. Two guide-gals offered insight and directions which was different and nice. Trail is well taken care of. A good area near the middle. And a bike service “station” at the south end (?). Can’t remember the length but I think it was about 14 miles round trip. Parking is a bit dicey but you’ll find some if you take your time.
