We hiked about 6 miles and when we finished there were more cars in the parking lot but not super crowded or anything. In the fall the trees are pretty and there is cell signal everywhere. Overall the trails are pretty easy to follow and shaded. You can get a decent workout since there is some elevation (our elevation map looks up and down and up and down, etc). Come Again? Yes! This satisfied my hiking cravings. In the area there aren't that many places to get a decent hike but this one is good.

Definitely worth checking out if you ever find yourself in this immediate area. Come And Get Your History On!!

I don't like using the phrase, "hidden gem", but even though it's quite literally between a…read moreresidential area and I-295, this location is a unexpectedly nice, peaceful space to walk and view nature just minutes from the bulk of Mercer County's population. The name of the page should actually read "John A Roebling Park/Abbot Marshlands", as the surrounding marshlands and its trails make up the bulk of what you'll see, and provides a home for many of the creatures living at the park. It's perfect for a walk to help get in your 10K steps, and you've a great mix of wooded and marsh dwelling wildlife to view. The trails are smooth and easy to walk on. I especially like the trail on the Island portion of the park, as it's completely forested and you can easily walk the entire circular route without encountering another soul. If you're like me and prefer to walk in a park without encountering someone every 30-seconds, this is your place. I wouldn't say the park is quiet, the background buzz of cars on 295 is ever present, but with a breeze and rustling leaves, you really don't notice it unless you try to notice it. That said, if you're at the picnic area--which is actually pretty nice--you're going to hear the traffic. If you have questions about some of the wildlife you see there, the helpful people at the adjacent Tulpehaking Nature Center are very knowledgeable about all things fauna.

This is my second hike at this park. I believe I have hiked through all the trails at this point…read more It is very scenic and overall I give it a 2/10 in terms of difficulty. The red and purple trails were my favorite. On my second trip here I wanted to hike for about an hour but I ended up getting lost. Lost in terms of I want to get out but I don't know which way is the exit...I could definitely see the trail markers all throughout though! I recalled seeing a red color marker at the entrance so I followed that but ended up going deeper into the woods. I don't believe the white trail is fully finished as I had to double back a few times. I used google maps to get a sense of where I was but still couldn't make my way to the main road. Went in circles between the blue and green trails (the green trail said it was a 5K, not going to lie I got a bit worried there) but eventually I managed to make my way to Bortons road! and then it was another 30 min walk to my car along kettle run road. So what was supposed to be an hour nice weekend stroll ended up being 2 1/2 hours. Can't complain though, loved exploring!

We decided to explore Black Run Preserve for our first bike trail experience since moving to the area and it didn't disappoint. There are plenty of bike and hiking trails and doing a little research online prior to going I was able to map out which trails would be best for us, specifically since I'm a nervous beginner lol. The trails are color coded and tbe associated color markings are on trees along the trails so you know which trail you're on. There is so much beautiful scenery surrounding you whether you're on bike or foot and there's a real sense of peace and tranquility in the Preserve, Definitely spray yourself down with bug repellent and wear longer pants and tops if it isn't too hot because there are warning signs for ticks and such given it's truly a wooded area. We will be back in the fall for another ride among the beautiful foliage.

I love taking my dog here, it's a really fun hiking trail with lots of gorgeous views, they have a huge play ground and the historic buildings are so fun to look at too, I just wish i could get there for one of the tours some day! It's very clean and soothing to sit on the trails and watch the wildlife, they have a kayak launch that looks pretty fun too but I haven't tried that yet! It's a relatively easy loop and it's well marked so you can't get lost (I have no sense of direction so bonus points for that!) they also host festivals here sometimes which are lovely I've been to a few for animal rescues in the past!
