This reserve is a beautiful place to bird watch, walk your dog, forage for wild berries or just get some exercise for yourself.

Its natural space. Put your electronics on silent and go get some fresh air. Enjoy a stroll. Listen to sounds not created by man. Who knows? You may actually have real live fun.

A calm, pretty location to take a short walk. Theres no intense hiking involved, just a paved circle that curves around the fenced-off reservoir, but its always full of a beautiful variety of birds and other critters, and even occasionally a deer or two. My favorite feature is the picnic table about halfway through the loop, which offers an amazing view of the Philly skyline.

I spend a lot time here with my best friends. The reservoir is a nature spot right in the middle of Roxborough. It is kept by volunteers its a beautiful spot to walk the dogs take a run checkout the view of the Centre City Skyline. Early mornings are great but not to early if you are walking a pet. There are sometimes wildlife close by. I would not recommend going alone. Not that it is not safe but these days things happen everywhere. You are off the main road and you never know what kind of wildlife you might encounter.
