Wissahickon Valley Park

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.

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.

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 🧺.

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.
