Hiking

The more than 50 miles of often-rugged trails that criss-cross Wissahickon Valley Park attract hikers from all over the Delaware Valley. 

Hiking on Forbidden Drive in the snow

FOW publishes a detailed Map illustrating the hiking trails within the Park. Several hiking clubs, including the Appalachian Mountain Club, the Sierra Club, the Batona Hiking Club, the Philadelphia Trail Club and others offer guided hikes throughout the Park. You can read about specific hikes in the Calendar.

Communication is key to smooth interactions between hikers and equestrians. For guidelines from the Pennsylvania Equine Council, click here.
