Reviews of Wissahickon Valley Park
"Preserved when Philadelphia was but a fledgling town to protect the water source for this soon to be great town, the park has been the focus of Philadelphians for generations. Many of the trails and buildings throughout the park have lengthy histories not limited to, but including the Valley Green restaurant - one of the last examples of a restaurant for when the primary mode of transit was horses, it was a place to get some good catfish and waffles. The park also holds Philadelphia's last covered bridge. Much of the parks trails originate from Franklins WPA programs for infrastructure projects. There's a wide variety of trails and oddities to see a long the way. Though not one of Philadelphia's tourist hotspots, it certainly should be. Don't be surprised to see people with their dogs, on horses, or bikes. Today we even saw a dog sled at work. Spend lunch along the scenic trails, take a walk, photos, or hike one of the more hilly routes. Be prepared, there are frequently wet areas that are run off from the hills on either side of the valley. Mud is a constant, but the views are worth it. Parking can be a challenge so plan ahead."
"Absolutely love this park. I'm spoiled rotten because I live a block away and I get to explore any time I want. This park has been become a part of my everyday life and workout routine, and has helped me get into the best shape I've been in years. It has miles of trails for hiking, running, cycling, and horseback riding for all skill levels. Safe for children and dog friendly. A few spots for fishing and swimming. Unique and interesting historical monuments like Kelpius' cave and The Devil's Pool in addition to landmarks like The Historic Rittenhouse town. which hosts a delightful cafe and bike rent shop, A functioning paper mill that sometimes hosts school kids, and even a small holistic center. It shares land with The Walnut Lane Golf Club, and The Philadelphia Cricket Club, as well as the Kitchen Lane horse stables and Saul Agricultural High School. Last but not least, it has The Valley Park Inn, one of the best restaurants in the City! There is so much more i could mention but I've said enough. Please come by and visit if you were considering it. Not too many options with restrooms, or parking for that matter but that doesn't really effect me because I can just walk there. Overall this park is wonderful!!"
"This is a great park that I have enjoyed hiking immensely. It has miles of interesting trails punctuated by beautiful bridges that overlook Wissahickon Creek. There are unique places like the Devil's Pool, the Teedyuscung Statue and Rittenhouse Village. There is also mica and garnet throughout the stone which looks super cool on sunny days."
"Went for a solo walk (as a Brit) and felt safe, at peace and thoroughly enjoyed the views. Absolutely outstanding park. Well signposted for historical landmarks (plenty of them) and the route is well marked too. Beautiful birds weee spotted and the autumn colours thought enjoyed as well. Looking forward to looping the route next time!"
"Very minimal parking, but a few different logs so go early and plan ahead by checking out where all the lots are. Beautiful fall foliage at the moment. Easy trails, not many exciting views but it’s a pleasant walk. Four stars because of parking, dogs off leash, and quite a bit of trash."
