Wissahickon Valley Park

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.

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.

Wissahickon Valley Park is probably one of the biggest Treasures in Philadelphia. There are 55 miles of trails in this park and it caters to all outdoor activities, horseback riders bikers, hikers, fishers and explorers. The park is surrounded by an area that was developed in the early 1700 so there are lots of historical Treasures to fine. The park is also very loved by dog walkers which is exciting and fun (please be responsible). There are water holes all over the park that people take their dogs too.

This hike is awesome. Beautiful scenery all along the trail. Was pretty crowded when I went but that shouldn’t stop you from going there. A lot of markers and signs so you don’t get lost. Overall a wonderful experience.

Best place in Philly for walking, hiking, trail running and mountain biking. Great trails, beautiful scenery. Forbidden Drive is perfect if you like level ground. Warning: The parking lot is not secure. Lock your valuables in the trunk and take your keys with you! There have been many reports of credit card thefts, where they'll open an unlocked car, search it for a purse or wallet, and steal nothing but a credit card. Then you find out later from your credit card company. I know from experience, unfortunately.
