The Friends of the Wissahickon have been working on trails leading to Devil’s Pool, a project that includes the lower trail between Valley Green Road and Livezey Lane, crossing at Devil's Pool, along with a section of the upper trail from Livezey Lane to the switchback near Cresheim Creek. This project is part of FOW’s Sustainable Trails Initiative, which will comprehensively rebuild the entire 50 mile natural surface trail system in Wissahickon Valley Park, making it a physically and socially sustainable system that works for all park users.
The current project at Devil’s Pool is being completed in partnership with the Fairmount Park Commission and with support from the International Mountain Biking Association in the form of a Trail Specialist who is managing work at the site.
In this photo, workers from Paul Steinbeiser Landscape Design and Construction are using mortar to set stones from the Wissahickon into a cement foundation, creating a natural looking staircase down to Cresheim Creek from the upper trail near Livezey Lane.
