"Wonderful very hidden gem in the middle of the Swarthmore college campus. It’s a beautiful space with lots of scenic and nature overlooks."
"Pleasant and peaceful to walk here, especially along Crum Creek. Not at all crowded at any time of day."
"I really loved it here. It's on the campus for Swarthmore college but it's easily accessible and a beautiful little hike. I came with my little brother and we collected rocks and had the best day! Highly recommend for a nice versatile hike!"
"Lovely trail with different height & difficulty levels. Dog friendly park as long as their on leash. Loved the amphitheater and alligator rock! We went on Sunday afternoon and it wasn't crowded, so it's a plus!"
"Want to enjoy nature? Like to hike? Then crumb woods is the place. I went out to clear my head, decided to go for a walk. The crumb wood is accessed within the Swarthmore College campus. I parked in the back lot (sorry to whoever the faculty member was who lost their spot) entered right across from my spot and started my adventure. The trails there are marked, the college keeps up on them, I wore boots for added traction,, but you could do it with sneakers. The best part of the trails are that some are along Crumb Creek. This led me to several potential fishing spots I plan to hit this spring. All in all it was a good time, the people on the trail were friendly, and found so artwork along the way. Definately worth the trip if you are looking for a day out!"
