Title: Latest Wissahickon Trail Improvements
Post by: Nick DiPatri on August 13, 2007, 12:11:36 PM
Hey, I live right next to the park and i've been off the MTB grid for a while.. I got a ride in on Sunday morning and I was completely blown away by the new trails and overall remarkable condition.  I want to say to everyone who has volunteered lately in the park: THANK YOU VERY MUCH! 

I've been biking in Wissahickon nearly my whole life and i've never seen it so well maintained.  I will most certainly be out there the next trail maintenance day..

Thanks again and GREAT job!

nick.

Rico, check out the map LINKED HERE  (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=&daddr=Livezey+St+%4040.046240,+-75.216520&sll=40.04624,-75.21652&sspn=0.097638,0.159645&ie=UTF8&ll=40.046524,-75.218904&spn=0.006102,0.009978&z=17&om=1).

The easiest way for you to get there is to park at VG and ride along the Forbidden trail toward Lincoln Drive. About 800yds along is a gravel path that sweeps uphill to the right. Take that to the top and ver left to the Parking Lot. It'll take you about 5 minutes from VG.

Or just come around the park either via Walnut Ln or Bells Mill and park in the lot up there.
