John Heinz Refuge

Family friendly dirt and crushed-stone trails through the nation’s first urban natural refuge, established in 1972, let you explore Tinicum Marsh, Darby Creek, meadows and woodlands. Find yourself mere steps away from I-95 and the Philadelphia airport and just a few miles from downtown Philly, but worlds away.
