Description
The Park has an extensive trail system which begins at the environmental education center and wanders by the ecologically sensitive tidal marsh - a prime bird watching area. It then continues along the Delaware River before going back to the center. As a visitor, you will be impressed by the colorful flora and fauna. With some guidance, you can learn about the importance of the wetlands ecosystem and a variety of other habitats. The Park is large enough, and covered with enough vegetation, that a visit feels like a walk in the country, far from the traffic and congestion of nearby residential and commercial areas. The trails, threaded throughout the Park, make it a pleasant place for walking,
