Stateline Woods Preserve
86 acres and four miles of trails through fields and woodlands, home to a 300-year-old oak, saved from a housing development when neighbors and the Land Conservancy bought the land outright. Open dawn to dusk with leashed dogs welcome; mountain bikes and horses (ride-in only) too.
Four Mills Nature Reserve
A 56-acre preserve along the Wissahickon Creek and the headquarters of Wissahickon Trails, with two half-mile loop trails of hard-packed dirt. The 1891 Four Mills Barn on the grounds was designed by Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer for an estate called Abendruh.
Five Mile Woods Nature Preserve
A 300-acre woodland Lower Makefield Township bought back in 1979, sitting on the Fall Line where the Atlantic Coastal Plain meets the Piedmont. A 675-foot ADA boardwalk takes wheels and strollers; the rest of the trails want sturdy shoes.
