Registration information is on our
Registration page.
The Green Ribbon Trail is a patchwork of
over 45 separate parcels and conservation easements that run the length
of the Wissahickon Creek. It begins at the end of Parkside Drive in the
Upper Gwynedd Township Park. The trail ends at the Erdenheim Farm in
Flourtown, and then connects with Fairmount Park’s Forbidden Drive.
WVWA’s new signs along the trail make it easier to access the trail at
almost any road crossing. For more information and additional WVWA
preserves, see our Preserves
page.
 All
