Wissahickon Valley Park

Northwest Philadelphia

Wissahickon Valley Park is a 1,800-acre urban wilderness threaded with 50 miles of trails along a wild, rocky creek. The Forbidden Drive, a wide gravel path that winds through dense forest, is the park's spine: popular with runners, cyclists, and anyone needing a breath of green air just minutes from Center City.
