Confirmed from Wissahickon Trails' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. 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.
What runners say about Wissahickon Trails
“Beautiful nature trail accessible by those in the Ambler borough by foot.”
Great organization working to protect open space and our creek. Good hiking and running trails, miles and miles...
The Four Mills Nature Reserve is a secluded, aesthetic gem that will no doubt surprise you with its winding, wooded trails and pedestrian bridges that cross over the Wissahickon Creek. Definitely a nice place for nature photographers in addition to the nature loving outdoorsy crowd.
I volunteered at the Maple Sugar Festival--lots of fun for kids and adults. The WVWA organization is run excellently by dedicated staff and volunteers. I highly recommend it.
Great space to hike, its family friendly and you will see many people as you hike so it also makes you feel safe.
