Reviews
"Great park with tons of trails for all skill levels. My preferred activity is mountain biking but it’s suitable for hikers and runners. Only 4 stars because it’s usually pretty busy and they have park rangers patrolling the trails after dark so no night riding."
"Great area for hiking and biking. I go for the fishing especially when they stock trout in the spring and fall."
"Awesome park! Very large and many trailheads and places to walk or bike! Nice river runs through the park which has trout. Many parking places are available. There used to be a railroad that ran along the river locally called the Pumpsie Doodle that carried it's first passengers in 1873 and carried it's last passengers in 1928. They built 65 bridges to accommodate this railroad. Less than ten years later parts of the line were abandoned in 1936. The only lines remaining are south of Newark. Cell phone service with T-Mobile is not great in some parts of the park so plan accordingly. In the part of the park that I saw I did not see permanent restroom facilities only portable units and I did not see any drinking fountains in the part I was in. A lot of people were biking and walking their dog."
"Beautiful State Park along the Delaware & Pennsylvania border! Great trails for hiking, biking, running, and walking the dog. I found park maps at Parking Lot #2 on the PA side, and the park office in PA. Most of the trail is shaded and leveled. Entrance fee is $4 for Delaware residents, $8 for non-residents. Cell service is scarce."
"Wonderful place for hiking. Very peaceful and close to nature. You can spend any amount of time hiking here, I don’t think we will ever get tired of this beautiful nature, also the trails are marked properly. Plenty of parking lots in various locations. However parking is very limited in the (east) side of the park, also there is no public restrooms. One portable toilet is placed near the parking space which is too dirty to use."
