Thank you- just saw a post on facebook about this saying it is not William Penn but it is a Quaker. I will check you out on facebook! This was a wonderful hike!
You can also get to molly rinker rock off of Walnut la and Park land ave.....which is ten time faster Which I found 10 yrs ago And don't forget the Indian statue in the park
LMAO!! I'm posting my vids on the Bear Mountain to Suffern branch, and I totally understand your wanting a people-free walk, but I'm sure everyone else is kind of feeling the same way. I'm sure it's going to get even more crowded once our videos reach more hikers-to-be. I'm getting to your location eventually. I only have one thousand or more miles to go :)
cool revolutionary war history I remember hearing of lots of revolutionary era legends in the town I grew up in when I lived up north, we had a place called "bread hollow," where people would hide bread and supplies in the hollowed out trees for the patriots!
It took me a while to find it when I went looking for it too! The best route to the rock is to use the Hortter Street trailhead a couple of blocks west of the Walnut Lane bridge. Follow the White Trail to your right about a tenth of a mile, and the marked trail to the statue branches off to your left. This route follows the spine of the rock which makes it a very easy hike.
I guess we've taught history and reading so badly for the last half century that Molly Rinker, patriot, has morphed into Mom Wrinkle, witch. Knitting was not a hobby then, unless you liked going barefoot in snow. It was utterly necessary to produce stockings for your family, which kinda doubled as long johns, and they went well up the thigh and were held in place by garters. That a woman would sit in such a place and knit would also not have been surprising, as women in the British Isles frequently sat along quays or on cliff tops so they could watch for their sailor husbands coming home.
Very judgey and obnoxious, could of been a good video, if not for his ignorant opinions! A friend/neighbor drowned at devils pool, not from stupidly, but a tragic swimming accident of a 12 year old boy!

It’s an amazing place nestled in a large metropolitan area ( Philadelphia ) -truly an urban oasis .
Mr. Penn prob has no words for what some of Pennsylvania has become,,,😦
This park is very cool. Sure alot to explore. Pretty spring flowers!!
I'm the same when hiking. I like people just fine, but when I'm hiking I like to be alone.
Thanks for sharing your hike.

For park in a city with over 1.6 million people there are not many people there on a Saturday.
You should check out monocacy hill recreation area
I just might some day.
" Are You Anti-Social, Me Too. LOL. "
Where is that statue located. I know where the Indian is but have been trying to find this one for a while.
It's on the Orange trail, just past Kitchen Lane bridge
It took me a while to find it when I went looking for it too!

1:40 that looks like a slave dungeon

Why would a statue be way out in no where?
there are lots of trails in the area and its within the city limits of Philadelphia, so it does get seen quite a bit
They look more like marsh marigolds.
