"Beautiful trailhead, unfortunately in the 25 minutes I was here my car was broken into and I had all my belongings stolen. I wouldn’t park here and think signs should be put up saying not to leave any belongings in your car so that at the very least visitors are warned. Cops said it is a common occurrence in the area."

"We enjoyed hiking around this little historic mill village near Wissahickon Valley Park. None of the buildings are open, but a mill house and other structures are intact from the outside. A picturesque creek runs along the trail, which leads uphill to a cozy cafe and longer trails. Parking onsite is limited but most visitors park along the road. The trail is dog friendly."

"The small historic town is located right by a creek next to Lincoln Drive. You can park at the limited visitor parking spots by the 1st house or by the Papertrail Bike Cafe on another side. Or, you can also park at Blue Bell Park and walk about 0.75 miles thru Orange Trail. There are only a handful of historic buildings with signs in this little “town”."

"This little area was beautiful. We saw Weeping Cherry Blossoms and even climbed some trees."
