At Green Lane Park you can swim or if you arrive by mountain bike tour the Park Trail around the Green Lane Reservoir. Spring Mountain Ski Area offers Rock Climbing and Canopy Tours and the Philadelphia Folk Festival happens right next to the trail in August.
Note there will be a detour to the Perkiomen Trail through September. The route will follow the parallel Audubon Trail through the Mill Grove Estate, home of John Audubon.

Yay, the Perkiomen Trail! I bike somewhere along this trail almost every weekend, and I cannot possibly love it more. The scenery is beautiful-- in early spring, shaded areas are full of bluebells, and later the air along the trail is full of the smell of honeysuckle and lilies. You just couldn't ask for a prettier ride.
Great description I linked to your blog from my webpage:
