Wissahickon Valley Park, Philadelphia

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.
