Description

From the Historic Rittenhouse Town Parking Lot, head southwest on the paved path. The path will take you along the beautiful Wissakickon Creek and down to Main St. at the far edge of Manayunk.

The path is well-maintained and has bikers, walkers, joggers, and people fishing. Turn around and hike back if want a fun, easy 3 mile hike or turn left, cross over Forbidden Drive and head up the dirt trail on the other side of the road to make this a nice, semi-difficult 5k.

Flora & Fauna

Squirrels, deer, birds, and the random dog.
