Nice trail along one side of the creek. My only suggestion would be for them to put up a visual map…read moreof the trail because we made the mistake of going from one end, down to the bridge and didn't realize the the trail abruptly ends (we were left in a situation where we had to turn back or continue on to an area that was without a sidewalk and maybe may not have been as safe possibly - we thought maybe the sidewalk might pick back up so we continued on and thankfully we're safe though we had to walk in the road a little due to a bit of a muddy situation). I hope they will possibly make the trail a loop around the creek to the bridge and the Silk center one day if that's possible to make the trek a bit nicer and safer. Also - I imagine that putting up a sound barrier might be very cost prohibitive so walkers should be aware that there's a section that goes close to the highway and is fairly noisy. Overall, I enjoyed my day & seeing the art installations and would recommend it as a place for others to visit.

No, this park wasn't perfect and I actually didn't dig the extensive paved unshaded pathway, but what I found most unique about the park was the many mature, gorgeous trees that had a fuller growth pattern than I've seen at most other parks. And yes, the creek is pretty and adds extra appeal, too. I was also glad to see young trees that had been planted in bare spots. There's a small but adequate free parking lot on Cedar Creek Rd, and street parking is also available. I hope this park continues to grow for generations.

That exception would be for the past two years the sanctuary is closed on Mondays for maintenance. Also, and admittedly this is technicality, the hours for the preserve are not set in stone like the Yelp listing indicates but since there isn't an option for sunrise to sunset, whatever. For every time I've come here and checked in, I probably forgot to check in and least twice as many times. Point being I've been here a good bit over the past six years and I've seen basically every trail, some a lot more than others and thankfully nothing with this has changed. If you're looking for paved, groomed or manicured grounds you're not going to find that here. Everything is kept up with by the caretakers but it's also overall in a fairly au natural state which means random rocks, tree roots, mud, leaves all over the place as it should be. Aside from some Spring and Fall weekend afternoons, there are never more than one or two cars here and more often than not there is no one. In twenty plus visits maybe I've seen other people on one of the trails two or three times. Aside from some squirrels and birds over at the bird blind feeders, I've never seen any wildlife here although you would think this would be a hot spot for deer, fox, racoons, etc. Although no trails here are terribly long, there is some variety between the mostly flat Chimney Rock, Woods and parts of the Main Trail to the River Lookout and Turnpike Trails which comparatively have far more incline. Overall still a great spot especially in late Fall/Winter to go out and turn up the quiet in the middle of nowhere.

Grab a paper map and ask your kids to navigate to different areas of the sanctuary. There is an app for this place but that's cheating. Alot of interesting placards that tell the history and make you appreciate the diversity. My BIG reason to come review this place is a small bird blind they have there. Two Saturday afternoons in a row and I consistently had hours of photographing a dozen different bird types. If you want to dabble in bird photography this is a GREAT place to start. Just sit there quietly and they come to you! I know of few other bird blinds so well visited by so many birds.

My first review by campfire light…read more I came along with my boy scout son for a weekend at Tinicum Park in Erwinna, Pennsylvania, just across the Delaware River from Frenchtown, New Jersey. It is not a big park, but has a simple camp facility in an Ash grove a few hundred yards from the water. I remember campout food as being oddly delicious, even with the extra grit and rustic outdoor kitchen, but these days with lightweight stoves and propane flex lines, the campfire is just for night stories. Cooking is much easier, if somewhat less rewarding. Still, I don't think I'll ever get accustomed to deep fried Oreos. The Chicken Tenders and Penne with Ragu were decent after a hike into Frenchtown, and several hours of scout skill training, football, and boys being boys. I even found about 90 minutes to break away and return for R & R at the National Hotel and The Bridge Café while the boys were off on another adventure. Those reviews to follow. Tinicum may not be the first place you think of when considering an upriver jaunt, but if you are into a night or two of roughing it (with a run to Ftown for cocktail and lunch overlooking the river) than it might be the perfect spot to make magic happen.
