Trail System
There are just over 4 miles of serpentine trails within the park. The majority are asphalt, formerly used for golf carts. Sections of mowed grass are used to make logical walking paths in a few places. Two bridges are provided across Mantua Creek.
Presently two routes are officially marked:
- The Perimeter (Green) Trail is a 2.37 mile loop around the boundaries of the park, crossing both bridges.
- The Red Trail is a half-mile loop on the Deptford side of the park only.
We have both interactive (GPS-enabled) and printable maps to guide you:
