Wissahickon Hills and Meadows

The Wissahickon Park has 2000 acres of woods and meadows as well as a creek, all within the City of Philadelphia. We will be hiking about 5 miles, with significant uphill climbs at times, sometimes on rocky trails in the woods, and sometimes out in the hot sun. Dress accordingly, bring bug spray, sun protection and plenty of water. There is a bailout point about halfway. Portapotties near the start. We will adjust our pace depending on the heat, but expect to be walking continuously with only brief stops for water.

Park in the Northwestern lot and meet at the trailhead for Forbidden Drive. The park will be busy on a Sunday so allow plenty of time for finding a parking space. Please do not leave any valuables in your car, and read the scary notice below!
