Take a guided trail ride on horseback. Or go fly fishing in Ridley Creek, which is always well-stocked with trout. The wooded trails and rolling hills make biking and hiking popular. Meanwhile, cyclists and cross country skiers both like the paved, five-mile trail along Sycamore Mills and Forge roads.

Take your pick from hundreds of picnic tables in 14 different areas at Ridley Creek State Park. Located in Delaware County Park, it's just 16 miles from Center City Philadelphia. And sightseers and history buffs won’t want to miss the restored colonial plantation, an architectural landmark located right in the park.
