Ridley Creek State Park

Philadelphia
State or Provincial Park

Located just 30 minutes outside of Philly, Ridley Creek offers a lush and abundant green setting that'll offer a quick fix for your stifled city body. The park spans more than 2,000 acres, and offers over thirteen miles of hiking, gardens and exotic plants, tenting campgrounds, as well as fishing and picnic-ing areas. The trails are short enough to let you see the park in a whole day -- and don't forget to come back in the fall to get your autumn foliage fix.
