Schuylkill River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Schuylkill River Trail, a multi-use path extending from Frackville in Schuylkill County through Montgomery, Chester, and Berks counties to Philadelphia, traverses the historically rich southeastern Pennsylvania region. The trail winds through rural, agricultural, suburban, urban, and industrial areas. It is a rail trail with over 75 miles of the trail being paved or surfaced with crushed stone and open to the public. Managed and developed by the Schuylkill River Trail Partners, there are ongoing plans to extend the trail.

Ten Box

Highlight • Monument

This small building has an interesting story. I assumed it was simply a gatehouse between trails in the Wissahickon Gorge park (connecting Forbidden Drive and the Creek Trail). Actually it is one of a network of phone stations used in the old days to connect a phone line running through the park, for the park police. This building was the tenth phone box (aka Ten Box).

Kitchen's Lane bridge

During the 1800s, William Kitchen transformed a paper mill into a textile mill, utilizing this bridge. At this point, you'll catch breathtaking views of the Wissahickon Creek.

Wissahickon Creek Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Wissahickon Creek flows over an old man-made stone shelf to create a wide waterfall that you can walk out towards on slabs of stone that rise up from the riverbed.

Valley Green Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

This inn is the last roadhouse in all of Philadelphia, and a much-beloved part of Fairmount Park. Although you can't stay here overnight, they serve good food and the inn serves as a sort of communal gathering spot: You can cozy up to the fireplace in the winter, or chill out on the porches in the summer.
