Wissahickon Creek Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

It’s worth the effort to ride or hike down tough trails. Even though it’s in Philly, the Wissahickon Park has some really beautiful, peaceful spots, like this rock jutting out into the rapids.

Tip by

1.60 km

The Wissahickon Park really is an amazing wilderness, tucked within the Philadelphia city limits! My latest find is the Houston Meadow, located atop the hills over Forbidden Drive. Reaching this meadow by bike is a little difficult (easier on foot... I had to hike-a-bike). But it’s worth it.

Even at Wissahickon’s busiest times, the Houston Meadow is remarkably peaceful and quiet. Beautiful wildflowers. And I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a good place to watch birds and butterflies.

Teedyuscung Statue

Highlight • Monument

The sculpture Tedyuscung – a tribute to the Lenape who were forced out of their homeland – is high up on Council Rock. By the way, the name of the park Wissahickon comes from two Lenape names "wissauchsickan" and "wisamickan" meaning yellow colored stream and catfish stream.

Thomas Mill Covered Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

They constructed this bridge in 1855, and it underwent renovations in 1939 and 2000. It stands as the solitary remaining covered bridge within a major U.S. city, and is one of five surviving Howe-truss bridges in Pennsylvania. The Howe-truss design, characterized by a series of triangles that enhance bridge strength and stability, is a defining feature.
