Directions from Penn  

Driving 

Arriving by car is the easiest way to get to the Morris. If you don’t have access to your own vehicle rideshare services regularly bring students and visitors to the Morris. 

Biking 

Bicycling to the Morris can be a great way to get out in nature, explore Philadelphia and get some exercise.  The 14-mile route to the Morris (see directions here) is primarily bike and pedestrian only, with limited cycling on roads with vehicles.  Approximately 6 miles of the bike path is on a gravel path in the Wissahickon Park requiring bicycles with tires appropriate for gravel.
