We don’t really have an Adventure Tourism guide for Haverford Township. We have found some remote, quirky places tucked away in off-the-beaten track trails and roads, though. Do you recognize this?
Ever find this hidden spot in H-Town?
No?
It’s part of the CREC trails. The plaque commemorates an old railroad that went through that spot. It’s a bit grown over at the moment, but that adds to the adventure part of it!
P.S. If you want some help finding this spot, there’s a hike this Saturday!
HIKE: Saturday, August 20 – Reserve North / Under the Blue Route Hike
9 – 11 am
Meet in the first parking lot on the right after you enter the Reserve from Darby Road (~1000 Parkview Drive for GPS/Maps). Hike all north and west trails from the PECO trail to the Blue Route trail. Moderate difficulty 3 mile hike with a few short but steep climbs. Stream views, mostly shaded. Passing under one of the busiest Interstates (I476) into a quiet wetland preserve, traverse an old rail right of way with great views, and then return using the Backwoods and Athertyn trails. Good walking shoes, long pants/sleeves or repellent suggested.
