Want to take a hike near Radwyn Apartments? One of your best destinations might just be the Wissahickon Valley Trail. The Wissahickon might also be one of Philly's gems, an enormous park along the creek that was made pedestrian-friendly back in the 1920s when Forbidden Drive was closed to motorized traffic — hence the name! Now Forbidden Drive offers seven miles of space for hiking, jogging, cycling, and strolling, where visitors can see flora and fauna, stop for lunch or ice cream at The Cedars House, see historic statues and more, and enjoy nature not far from the city's hustle and bustle. Hiking trails offering varying challenges extend from the main trail; interested prospective hikers can order a map from the Trail's website. Visit the site to learn much more about this lovely park!
