"Nice statue, worth the hike to visit."
"Awesome. Parking on Rex Ave as the trailhead can be done but is very narrow. The walk down and back Rex to and from the Tedyuscung trail isn’t too difficult but the road has deteriorated and is uneven. It’s definitely a 5 minute downhill walk and 10 minute climb up and back out. The leaves and stones are slippery even on a sunny day but it’s wide and shady and beautiful. Not ADA at all as is most of the park. The trail up to the statue from Rex Ave isn’t too difficult. It’s less than a 5 minute walk up and has three switchbacks. There’s a drop off as you climb but the trail is wide and safe enough. Two trees down right now but easy to get over. And easy to walk back down. Once on the trail above the statue it’s an easy 30 second walk to the stone steps down to the back of the statue. There’s a wide area to relax and enjoy lunch with the Chief. Wissahickon is a gem and this is a very very very cool piece of art and history."
"Its a very nice walk , this is one of the biggest parks In the state and this statue is one of the landmarks of the park worth getting there"
"This limestone statue was placed on Council Rock, its current location, in 1902. It depicts a Lenape warrior with his hand to his brow looking west. The name Tedyuscung is that of a Native American who was born around 1700, and eventually served as a negotiator between the French, Quakers and the Native Americans of the time located in the Philadelphia region."
"Beautiful scenery right outside of Philadelphia there are several trails ranging from easy well groomed bike trails to steeper inclines nothing you couldn't take your kids with so long as they aren't babies from what I was on I will absolutely be returning to this magical place"
