Wissahickon Park Orange Trail to White Trail is a 3.6 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that features a great forest setting and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, running, and nature trips. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

Really lovely, scenic hike with some nice rock formations, mossy spots, great river views, and interesting bridges/stairs. Orange trail section is a lot more scenic (down by the river) than the white trail section (higher up in the woods). I was glad I was wearing hiking boots as some areas were lightly muddy or had slick rocks. A couple downed trees to crouch under and little streams to cross made it even more fun. What a treat on a 65 degree January day last weekend.

nice mid-length trail w lots of diverse scenery. first part is quite busy. warm Jan day- counted about 20+ dogs :)
Awesome trail overall! Lots of really cool things to see, especially along the river. I would rate this moderate though, there are a lot of obstacles (downed trees, crossing small streams, etc) but definitely worth it
great interesting hike. lots of good things to see. dogs everywhere. bridges. recommended. would also recommend higher areas for mountain biking.
