Ridley Creek State Park encompasses more than 2,600 acres of Delaware County woodlands and meadows which are bisected by beautiful Ridley Creek. Join the park’s naturalist for a 2-3 mile guided nature hike through the gently rolling terrain of this expansive park, which is an oasis of open space only 16 miles from center city Philadelphia.

The hike will last about 2 hours and will take place on natural surface trails, so wear good walking shoes and bring water and snacks. You may want to bring binoculars if you have them to get a better look at the birds we encounter. We will also note the variety of trees, wildflowers, and other plants and animals that we pass, and we will learn about the history of the park as well.

Registration is not required for this family-friendly program. Meet at the Hunting Hill Mansion (Park Office) in the upper parking lot.

Restrooms are available on site.
