Come enjoy a serene section of the Wissahickon watershed on this 3 mile hike. The Fox Loop will begin and end at the historic Evans-Mumbower Mill, traveling along the Green Ribbon Trail, through Natural Lands' Gwynedd Preserve, across stream crossings, and back on the Green Ribbon Trail to the Mill.
We are happy to offer our programs at no cost to participants. If you are able, a suggested donation of $15 is greatly appreciated and helps make programs like this possible. Wissahickon Trails is a local, community-supported nonprofit funded by the generosity of individuals, foundations, and businesses.
