I wore sneakers but would have greatly benefited from hiking boots for more ankle support after slipping and tripping my way along the dense leaf covered dirt trail that continued to get more rocky on the ascent. Also, you will need to climb some legit large rocks/boulders to reach the Pulpit Rock overlook but the challenge was well worth it for the views! My gf's & I chose the easy way down which was to take the gravel road alongside the observatory that eventually transitions to pavement. Even the decline of this road was steep in itself. No easy way up or down haha! I saw people of all ages and fitness levels along my hike and plenty of cute dogs! Bring snacks and water to re-energize during a rest break. My one friend packed some TP and I thought it was a great idea cuz you just never know when you might have to go! Parking lot is a joke with ~20-25 spots but many ppl, including us, parked along Reservoir Rd so make sure to get here early in the morning or expect to walk a couple extra miles just to reach the start of the trail.

Great spot for a day hike, with beautiful views at the two main lookouts - Pulpit Rock and the…read morePinnacle. The hardest part of the hike is getting to Pulpit Rock, as it starts with a fairly steep road to get to the trail, and then some more elevation climb as you get up to the lookout. From there, it's probably another 2.5 miles or so to get to the Pinnacle, but the elevation gain is minimal. Both of these stops provide great views, with lots of raptors flying around if you're lucky! Bring snacks and water, especially on a hot day, and cameras to take pictures!

You grow up in an area, you think "I know all the great places to go". Then, thanks to a friend,…read moreyou discover McKaig Nature Center, which happens to be right down the actual road from a place you used to work at. You are happily humbled. Lion and I were looking for a different place to go 'stretch our legs', and were recommended McKaig. So, we plugged the address in the GPS, because, like I said, I've worked on Croton Road and never ever saw this place. Once we got there, I understand why - the 'entrance' on Croton is a small frontage, basically wedged between some houses, a creek and an elementary school. There is a visitor board, a monument and such but if you're not looking carefully it's easy to miss. It's also the entrance where there is one trail, as the trails are laid out kind of like lungs - the "north entrance" is your windpipe, which goes south and splits into two 'lobes". What's different from anatomy is that each lobe has an entrance 'southeast' and 'southwest' on Brower Road. We didn't realize more of the trailheads were in the southeast and southwest entrance, and unfortunately the day we were there the trail map bin was empty. We pulled up a map on our phone and figured it out. The trails are themselves well marked, well maintained and have a number of trail markers, along with some educational plaques. There are different degrees of difficulty, some are relatively flat trails and others have medium to steep grading so there's a variety of hiking experiences. We took a trail that is somewhat challenging, looping around to the west, along the back of the elementary school and some houses, then meeting up with a junction of several trails and a bridge. We took some time sitting at a bench, watching the groups of people on their hikes - families, people walking their dogs, etc. It's a lovely place and one we'll be visiting again. Next time we'll see about accessing from one of the Brewer Road entrances, though our friend tells us parking by those is a little more haphazard as there's no lot. For the Croton Road entrance the elementary school parking lot is directly adjacent and on a weekend day very easy to use.

Good spot, easy to forget it's still in the city…read more I've been here a handful of times, usually after work or on weekends when I need to get outside for a bit. Once you're on the trails it gets surprisingly quiet. Like, noticeably quieter than you'd expect from somewhere still technically inside Philadelphia. The paths are mostly flat gravel so it's not a hard walk at all. I tend to stop on the boardwalks and just look out over the marsh for a few minutes. Last time there were a few turtles lined up on a log, and I'm pretty sure I spotted a couple of herons near the water too. You do hear planes since the airport's close by, but it doesn't really bother me. Kind of adds to the strangeness of the place in a way I actually like. One thing worth knowing: the mosquitoes are no joke. I skipped bug spray once and regretted it pretty quickly. If you're going in summer, just bring some, especially if you're planning to hang around near the water.
