Wissahickon Valley Park reviews
14We 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.
Great local park with tons of trails available! Not generally *too* busy, but parking can definitely be a pin later in the day.
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!
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.
Great natural riverbank space for walking, biking, relaxing, hanging out, or feeding ducks. Extensive network of trails along river and up on higher ground.
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.
Beautiful area to hike and explore.
Quite a few trails to go down.
Well maintained
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!
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.
This park is a breath of fresh air, literally! Where else in the city can you go for a jog, and hear ducks quacking?
Beautiful as always! Great for a romantic stroll, walking your dog, a jog, or even biking!
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!
Great urban park. You would never know you were in Philadelphia. We just took a short walk. The trails are easy. Beautiful!
A quite reprieve from cars and noise. A calming effect that reminds me who I am and why we must protect nature.
