Green Ribbon Trail

Well, I only got to walk about about .75 miles of this trail, and I will definitely be coming back. Went there with two of my kids, but we got there a bit too late, so I had to turn around after about 20 minutes.

The little that I did makes me want to come back. You can see the beauty in the pictures. Flowers everywhere, nice walking trail which tempts you to bring a bike (there is a no biking sign), a little creek, and the sounds of birds in the air. I will update you when I return...

Fyi..Upper Gwynedd park is at the beginning so you have playground, bathroom, courts etc to enjoy.

Very pretty rustic, packed dirt trail that meanders along Wissahickon creek through meadows and woodlands. Starts at Parkside Place Park in North Wales and continues 12 miles, point to point to Wissahickon Park. I walked from Parkside Place to Swedesford Rd and back for about a 6 mile round trip. The trail continues across Swedesford Rd (trail markers visible) to Wissahickon Park.
Since the trail follows Wissahickon Creek and is a dirt trail, rain, snow, ice will impact trail conditions. There are some elevated wooden walkways that may help flooded paths. Overall, this is a beautiful trail and worth exploring.

This is a great and lengthy trail because it gives you a variety of nature and surfaces.
The North third of the trail is more hike oriented, the middle third of the trail is a combination of hiking and paved, and the bottom portion is mostly wide and paved.
If you're looking to take in nature, this provides a great opportunity for 21 mi from North Wales down to Philadelphia

A little hard to find but worth it. Crossing the river on the rocks and so much deer. Beautiful trail

We parked at the Green Ribbon Trail office center. This was a pleasant, mostly flat, walk with just a touch of adventure. There was a stepping stone water crossing and a ladder climb to the other side of the creek. The trail wasn’t crowded but there was a bit of a traffic jam at the water crossing as we had to wait for people to get across before we could move on. Overall, the trail was a very nice walk.

I walked this trail beginning at Skippack Pike all the way to the Germantown Academy. I would like to go a little further the next time. I am not quite sure where the trail ends but the Academy is very impressive and the children here are blessed to get to go to school here.....update: I do know that this trail is much further down past Germantown Academy, so you had better be prepared for a long walk if you want to reach the end. There are trail maps on the internet to show you the way.

Nice trail but a pain to cross the road. Is it Walnut St or is it North Wales Rd?

Good place to recharge after a busy day.

Peaceful trail that winds through a few neighborhoods.

Very clear trail markings and great directional signage. The trails integrate well with the towns they pass through, and most of the trailheads are accessible from SEPTA rail.

Many places interconnect w this trail. Flourtown commons borders the trail along w Philadelphia Crocket Club (parking across from/ next to them for park access). Trail goes back to Stenton Ave where it dead ends, then the other way goes to Mill road day use area all found in Fort Washington Park.

Gwynedd has so many nice trails! During the lockdowns, I called Lower Gwynedd Township, and they were so helpful in pointing me towards their many many beautiful and FREE walking trails for enjoyment and exercise! Gwynedd is a wonderful community to live in - great police, trails, and parks and many many services...super safe! Lived here since 1992. :)

Great trail, just be aware that the 202 crossing is currently closed, so at present, it is not possible to hike the entirety of the trail from end-to-end

Great place to hike. Very quiet in an otherwise hectic area.

Great trails

Beautiful nature trail.
