Explore the beautiful trails of the Wissahickon this weekend! Check out some of their events or go for a hike and take a dip. Just a short drive from the Reserve at Creekside.

Wissahickon Gorge There are 57 miles of trails in this lush, 1,800-acre gorge, crossing forest and meadow before plunging down to the sun-dappled waters of the Wissahickon Creek. You’ll find yourself lost in a feeling of wilderness as you walk, bike or ride your horse through this undisputed gem of Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park system.
