A cute trail for a short walk. My mom and I didn't choose to go across the water and there was a family there that looked like it was struggling to get back across. (Mom is 73 and we didn't want to wind up in water at the beginning of our day out) The trail was nice and tree covered. It was a little rocky. We got there around 10am on a Saturday and there was parking available. It is a small parking lot.
As this trip was just to locate the head trail of this preserve I don't have a whole lot to review about it for now. It was easy enough to find by Septa transportation means. I took the Media/Wawa train to Wawa station and walked up the hilly pavement along Baltimore Pike to Valley Road. Crossed at the light down the hill and just pass the overpass bridge is the head trail Rocky Run. If you take the 111 bus out of 69th Street it will drop you off at the intersection and you can avoid the uphill walk.
Nice, peaceful, well marked hiking trail. The trail is mostly shaded forest and some open meadows as well. The trail path is a bit rocky at times and provides some nice elevation changes. My only issue is that it appears to be a hangout spot for teens as there is broken glass on some side trails that lead to the creek.
