We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Andorra Meadow yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Nature preserve offering kid-friendly hikes and bird watching opportunities, plus a cafe.
What runners say about Andorra Meadow
“It feels like a well-kept secret, as forbidden drive is both crowded and boring.”
“Its quite the beautiful, serene and therapeutic place to take a stroll on a sunny afternoon.”

Underestimated. Such a beautiful, tranquil place, with subtle yet stunning scenery in all seasons. Highly recommend visiting this oasis in the city.... and stop for a while on your walk to look around and notice the perfect little things.
Gorgeous. Trails were well-maintained and clean. There is a cafe in an adorable building, bathrooms, and an adorable resident orange cat named Tommy.
This is my favorite part of Wissahickon. It feels like a well-kept secret, as forbidden drive is both crowded and boring. The Andorra meadow parking lot reliably has room. The loop has great variety from wooded forest to open meadow, and it is appealing in all seasons.
Just beautiful in every single season. This is the best spot to hike to on a chilly day, to enjoy being closer to the warmth of the sun (on a sunny day). Great, easy trails, with a bit of elevation... Awesome foundation ruins to check out as well. Always worth the hike!
