Its so peaceful and happy. You can read a good book, go hiking, running, jogging the whole shebang. Best part is theres a luncheon and dinner service at the beginning of the trail. Im definitely planning on going back.

Nice old mill house. Glen Fern is the former property of wealthy and influential miller Thomas Livezey that dates back to 1747. In its day, the sprawling farmstead at the edge of the Wissahickon Creek featured one of the largest mills in the colonies. Unfortunately, the mill itself was torn down after being purchased by the city of Philadelphia in 1868.Looks like the house is a private residence. I would have loved to have seen the inside.

Always lovely to admire mid-hike, Glen Fern is a beautiful historic site in the Wissahickon. The residents here are very kind, and always willing to help direct, advise, or offer trail recommendations to hikers.

Since I am a nature lover, this place is so beautiful. There is an amazing setup of trails, from stone, to grass, to rock and even dirt throughout. Along the trails there is a restaurant and multiple lookouts. A must do!
