I really wanted to go hiking and in the area this mountain is not bad! I came on a Sunday in the…read morelate morning (~11am) and there was ample parking. We hiked about 6 miles and when we finished there were more cars in the parking lot but not super crowded or anything. In the fall the trees are pretty and there is cell signal everywhere. Overall the trails are pretty easy to follow and shaded. You can get a decent workout since there is some elevation (our elevation map looks up and down and up and down, etc). Come Again? Yes! This satisfied my hiking cravings. In the area there aren't that many places to get a decent hike but this one is good.

Nice, pleasant hike. Paths were maintained and clear. Only comment would be that the markings for…read morewhich trail you're on weren't always the clearest.

It's well maintained, mostly gravel though so if you have a road bike you'll have a little more resistance but it was such a beautiful ride--- Delaware river on our left and the canal on our right. It's also reasonably used so every 15 min or so we came across others on bike or walking so never felt isolated. It makes for the perfect leisure ride with stops on the way. The towpath runs parallel to the Delaware and Raritan in NJ but we stayed on the Pennsylvania side to be wedged between water on both sides. Stops worth mentioning along the way-- The Narrows, Golden Pheasant Inn and off the trail walking the bridge (must dismount) to the NJ side in Stockton, Starving Artists Cafe.

Very easy to park as there are multiple parking lots along the trail. The trail offers glimpses of the river & has a lot of beautiful wildflowers & different kinds of tree's along the trail.

Peace Valley Park was quite busy when we stopped by for a quick walk. Being one of the first nice…read morespring days in PA, the path was quite active with dogs, walkers, runners, and even a bike passed during our brief visit. Six miles of asphalt trail surround Lake Galena. It is handicapped friendly. Plenty of benches along the path to sit and watch the water activities. We will be back later in the season to check out the wooded trails. We took a short walk then drove around to the other side where there were pavilions and a nature center whcih I will discuss in a separate review. From our brief visit, this Doylestown park has a lot to offer. Fishing, boating, picnicking, birdwatching and more. We will be back for sure to explore more.

X-posting a review from the Wissahickon Park page. This park is so good it deserves two 5-star…read moreratings. Hard to rate an entire park this massive, but all things considered, after 5 years of traversing the trails here, this is an awesome park. Note that I live in U-City, so the fact that such a massive trail system exists in only a ~20 minute drive, depending on which part of the park I start in, is a blessing and keeps my sanity. Friends of Wissahickon does a great job maintaining trails and even expanding the system over the past few years. I don't think I've ever observed an unseemly part of the park. Definitely unseemly times of year like the snow thaw or the time between the trees dying and the snow falling, but otherwise, this park is beautiful all times of year. I've never had a hard time parking, never even had trouble with crowds even around the most popular trails (ex. Forbidden Drive). Even the bikers are friendly and patient here! Would strongly recommend not only visiting but coming back to keep exploring! I'm still finding new gems in this massive trail system.

Today I decided to switch things up and take a trip to Valley Green in Wissahickon Park, Philly…read more I've always heard about Devil's Pool but had never been, so when I saw the trailhead, I figured--why not check it out? What I've known about Devil's Pool is that it's been a popular hangout spot, especially for teens and young adults--swimming, drinking, smoking, etc. But I wasn't prepared for how disappointing the trail would be. At nearly every turn, there was trash--plastic bottles, wrappers, and even entire black garbage bags just left behind. The closer I got to Devil's Pool, the worse it got. There are clear signs asking visitors to take their trash with them, yet so many clearly don't. It's really disheartening to see such a beautiful natural space disrespected like that. Instead of feeling peaceful or connected to nature, it honestly felt a bit unsanitary and neglected. Wissahickon Park deserves better. If you visit, please respect the space and take out everything you bring in.

It's easy to moderate (there are stairs) and well shaded by trees. There's also a historic ruin of what was once a wool mill. There was ample parking, and it was not crowded during a summer week day. I highly recommend. Having visited most of the falls in the area this is in my top few favorites.

You can walk, run or bicycle along the canal in either direction. Head south and Stockton is right there or head a little further into Lambertville.

For the hard core cyclist you can go all the way to Frenchtown. Just remember, wherever you bike or walk to, you have to turn around and go all the way back!
