Meeting at North Mt. Pleasant Place Trailhead (see map here)
Join Debbie, Jim, and Katherine and Dave Bonar as we hike the Wissahickon in May. We will again be visiting the Frog Pond to see what the little amphibians are getting up to at the end of spring! The site of one of the largest mills in colonial North America is on our route, as is the Fingerspan bridge by Jody Pinto. And we’re sure to see some interesting plants and rocks!
We’ll be climbing over more rocks than we usually do on our ~4 mile hike, and the trails may be wet in places, so come prepared in sturdy, close-toed shoes and bring your trekking poles if you have them.
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 miller@fow.org. Visit www.fow.org for updates.
