Greenway along Darby Creek
The Darby Creek is an underappreciated treasure. A greenway is possible along nearly its entire length. Christopher Morley called the Darby "a laughing little river that preaches sermons unawares." A newspaper article from 1910 said Darby Creek is a "beautiful winding stream with pretty shade trees on either side and scenery unsurpassed in Pennsylvania."  Another article described it as a "Hikers Paradise."
