After hiking up to the Reading Pagoda, the following day we hiked to the top of Neversink Mountain to get a different perspective. Great short hike, but it has a bit of steep uphill along the way.

Not really a hike, but rather a scenic short walk to explore some waterfalls of Wissahickon. Great spring day with eastern redbud trees flowering along the trail.
Hiking
Birdsboro Climbing Quarry and Reservoir Hike
Birdsboro, PA
3.1
miles
/ 5.0 km
April 19, 2025
One of the more unique hikes near the Reading area. This mostly-easy hike includes the steel cable tight-rope crossing which was the most challenging part. Great view at the climbing quarry. Hiking out to the Birdsboro Reservoir was worth it for those views too. Consider hiking the bypass route to reach both if you don't want to risk the creek crossing.

The stone channel of the creek was really interesting. Old dam ruins could have been easily missed without the signage.

Reading Pagoda Trail
Mount Penn Preserve
Reading, PA
Reading, PA

miles

Mostly an easy hike up to the pagoda. The trail doesn't lead to the main parking lot which means you need to hop the fence if you want views of the entire building. Watch for broken glass along the trail near the pagoda especially if hiking with dogs or little kids.

Really enjoyed the easy hiking along the first half. The views were great especially at Whetstone Run Overlook and Ralph's Pretty Good View. The rocky Allegheny Front Trail portion of the hike wasn't my favorite

Frozen waterfalls in Lick Brook Gorge were beautiful. Creek crossing wasn't the best but the creek was mostly frozen-over at the time.

Short and beautiful walk with big payouts. Upper Falls seems more popular than Middle Falls so during our winter walk here, it was more than quiet by Middle Falls minus the roar of the waterfall.
