Plan to Link Wissahickon, Schuylkill Trails Falls in Place

A tiny stretch of land may go a long way in linking a massive trail network.
Earlier in November, Philadelphia Parks and Recreation officials and contractors detailed a plan to close one of the remaining gaps along the Schuylkill River Trail. Bikers and runners alike may soon find a complete path between the river, Manayunk Canal Towpath and Forbidden Drive along Wissahickon Creek.

Located between Kelly Drive near the Wissahickon Transportation Center and the Pencoyd Bridge behind the movie theater, the 2,100 feet of proposed path could fill one gap in the 120-mile Schuylkill River Trail network, according to Chris Dougherty from Parks and Recreation.
