It’s been about 10 years since I’ve been to Valley Green, which is part of the Wissahican Valley Park system so I didn’t know what to expect but not much has changed. I parked near the valley green restaurant which is iconic. I’ve never been to it, but I will visit this in the future. I decided to do a mix of trail walking using the main trail, which is extremely wide people bike, jog, walk, etc. on this trail with the trail also offers hiking and horseback riding and all the trails are clearly marked halfway down the trail. I decided to take a turn up a hill to the forbidden path or trail as it’s called which is about a mile long or so This is fairly steep incline on the way up. I’m gonna say probably about 25 to 30° it was a little difficult because they had just packed the trail with fresh stone and dirt so it was kind of soft when I made it to the forbidden trail which was also clearly marked my little journey began, and further up I went to the cliffside, and eventually I was able to look down to the riverside which seemed to be about 1000 feet or so down not exactly exactly sure but that’s what it felt like about a half a mile and I was unsure of what was going on as far as where I was going every now and then a jogger or biker would come by and I did manage to stop when and ask if I was on the right direction in the jogger told me to take the next right at Valley Green. I thanked him and went on higher and higher. This trail has lots of rocks and roots running through it so you have to be very mindful and very careful. I recommend walking sticks as a knucklehead. I forgot mine, and eventually grab two sticks on the side of the trail, which helped out greatly after walking for about another 15 minutes and not seeing the turn. The jogger told me about I was a little worried, but eventually I came up on it. The trail started to descend through a very windy, picturesque, beautiful part of the valley. Eventually, I started to see a turn downwards towards the valley, and that was a little relieving. I did come across a bridge that was kind of Ricky T. I do have photos the grading going down was had to be about 35° again with rocks and roots and sticks going through the paths very challenging for me but when I finished, it was a heck of a sense of accomplishment. This is such a beautiful place. It’s about 2000 acres. I can’t wait for the springtime and summer. I’ll be visiting this again.
