Meet at Cresheim Valley Pergola
Join Debbie and Jim as we explore an area of the park we don’t often visit. We’ll be hiking on part of the Cresheim Trail, starting from Germantown Avenue. We’ll visit the ruins of the barn of Buttercup Cottage and see where Lake Surprise once was. And we’ll take note of what some of our favorite and least favorite plants look like in the summer. These trails are narrower than most in the Wissahickon, so long pants are recommended. And be prepared to walk over some rocks on our 3.5-4 mile route.
Children 12 years of age and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult, but please, no dogs except for service animals.
Distance: 4 miles
Level: Difficult (many inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
Registration is required for all hikes so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations.
Unless otherwise specified, Trail Ambassador Walks may be on rocky, rugged trails that may be wet and slippery. Wear sturdy shoes or boots with socks. Walks are cancelled in heavy rain or icy conditions. Service animals are always welcome. For more information contact Marisa Miller at [email protected]. Visit www.fow.org for updates.
