Guidebook for Norristown
Parks & Nature
Great for biking and running along the Schuykill River. Go north to get to Valley Forge Park, or go south to get to Conshohocken or Manayunk. Grab a beer at the Conshohocken Brewing Company right on the path. Or if you're really up for a challenge, bike all the way to Philly!
