The most popular trail for exploring the lower Wissahickon valley is Forbidden Drive (officially known as Wissahickon Drive), a gravel road that follows the Wissahickon Creek from Lincoln Drive to the County Line. It received its familiar name in the 1920s when automobiles were first banned from the road. Bicyclists and equestrians may use Forbidden Drive without a permit. Other trails in the area are more restricted, with some prohibiting cyclists or equestrians, and others requiring a permit for bicyclists and equestrians. Trails requiring a permit include, Upper Wissahickon area, and the soft trails of Pennypack park.[1] "For these areas, a permit is required to use a: bicycle, horse, carriage, horse-drawn vehicles, non-motorized vehicles, wheeled vehicles."[1] Permits can be attained by means of an application and $35 fee.[1] All users of the park are asked to stay on marked trails to protect against erosion. [My additions]:

2. "For these areas, you need a permit if you use a: bicycle, horse, carriage, horse-drawn vehicles, non-motorized vehicles, wheeled vehicles."[1]
3. Applications for permits cost $35.
One of the most romantic hikes in this park leads to a precipice overlooking the gorge. It can be found by entering the main footpath at the Ridge Avenue entrance and following the west bank to Hermit's Lane Bridge. Coming from Blue Stone Bridge, follow the path at the west end to Lover's Leap.

[my additions]: I took away "one of the most romantic hikes" to just "One trail to hike on". I did this because saying most romantic hike is a personal opinion and isn't neutral.
