Philadelphia makes it easy to live an active lifestyle, whether your version of fitness is running, biking, or just walking along the river and enjoying the views. There’s the Delaware River Waterfront and the Schuylkill River Banks right in the city, but the best trails and paths for biking, running, hiking and walking in Philly are right here in the Roxborough Manayunk area.
The houses are beautiful distractions to marvel at while exercising, there are plenty of post-activity eats to enjoy, and there are a wide variety of paths and trails, whether your preference is packed gravel, paved path, or the dirt trails in the Wissahickon.
The good and/or bad news (depending on who you are): you’re likely going to have to make your way up a hill to get home from these trails, but there’s no better place to live an active lifestyle than Roxborough Manayunk, and the views from the top are always worth it!
