This is a very beginner friendly hike and it is right in my backyard…read more My area was gifted with beautiful weather this past weekend so I wanted to take advantage of the sun and explore some new trails in the area. This is within a mile of my apartment and is about 2.3 miles in length. Overall I recommend this trail if you are looking for something relatively flat and easy. It is not very long but is one straight line. So consider how far you want to walk. If you want the full length of the trail and back, you are walking close to 5 miles. It took me about 45 minutes to walk one way. But I also brought my camera along to stop and take some pictures along the way. Not super scenic as you are walking behind a few different apartment complexes. But you are walking along a really pretty body of water for most of it. So, there is some fun wildlife lingering around. All harmless. Another thing to note. I would definitely wear sneakers, and maybe a pair you don't mind getting dirty. While most of this trail is paved, there are some spots that are not and could potentially get muddy depending on the weather that week. I loved this hike and will definitely be coming back soon.

They have a great running trail with workout equipment along the way and a great park, picnic area and open space. While visiting NJ this weekend I took my dog here. He loved the opportunity to burn off some energy and play ball. The only complaint about this park which hasn't changed much is all the goose poop! Other than that, I will continue to bring my dog here when I visit and take the occasional run on the trail.

The trail even leads to the backside of Twin Rivers. A lot of people enjoy fishing at Etra Lake which is a decent sized lake adjacent to the park. There's three parking areas: one adjacent to the lake, one near the fields, and another large parking lot across the street. During non-Covid times, they usually host the East Windsor Fourth of July fireworks every summer and there's fun entertainment and food vendors. Overall a nice place to enjoy the outdoors!

Mercer County Park is a complete park that offers something for just about everyone's needs…read more Whether you're looking to take the kids to the lake for a swim, go kayaking, let the dogs off leash in the fenced in dog park, ride your bike along paths both paved and natural, or just go walkabout to enjoy the largest park in the county. There are even a small number of campsites that can be reserved during certain times of the year. There are also large playing fields that host tournaments throughout the year for baseball, soccer, lacrosse, etc., and rowing regattas are hosted on the lake. At 3.9 square miles, Mercer County Park is a whopping 1.7% of the total acreage in all of Mercer County. The NE portion of the park is part that I like best, as it's also the part that gets the least amount of traffic, with the only folks you see being people walking the trails, birdwatchers and BMX bike riders. I wouldn't advise taking a gravel bike on the paths in this part of the park. I used to come here often with my bike, but now I'm also enjoying the trails on foot. If you're a road bike owner who's just looking for a short ride, the paved paths that run the length of the park, and the broad shoulder of the main road offer a good conditions for a road bike, but you'll need to look elsewhere for a longer, challenging ride. Also, I've yet to encounter the entitled dog owners who think that the leash regulations don't apply to them. I'm sure that they're out there, but perhaps they're not as common as they are at places like Mercer Meadows or Mountain Lakes--fingers crossed.

Warm and sunny, but not ungodly muggy. Despite residing in Bordentown for over a year, we'd never taken the ride over to historic Allentown. After driving through this historic and bucolic town, trust me when I say we kicked ourselves for waiting so long!!!! Heritage park is large. A nicely level, paved trail encircles a wide open and verdant space for folks to picnic, dogs to play, and I guess children too. Benches are fairly abundant to have a respite from any physical exertion or to simply slow down and enjoy some nature. Parking lot was tight, so we parked in the dead end street that leads you to the park entrance and had no trouble. Beautiful weather, beautiful park in a great town. Combine that with some wonderful company and you've got what makes for a perfect day! We shall return.

It allows for all sorts of activities in a compact 71 acre space. This is also a great spot to view the fall foliage. There are 2 entrances. The main entrance is off Pond Rd. There is a side entrance off Robertsville Rd but that parking lot can accommodate only about half a dozen cars. A typical walk is a round trip from between the 2 entrances and you'll rack up about 2 miles. There is an excursion trail around the outside boundaries of the park beginning at the Robertsville entrance. With that you can make up 3 miles which was what I used to do when I was training for the varsity cross-country team. The pond is good for boating and fishing and is stocked with trout every year. The playground is right by the pond and is a great photo spot for your kids. There is a stage and a nice-sized pavilion in front of it. Perfect for a summer concert or play. There are benches and picnic tables throughout. In my most recent visit (Oct'21) I was pleasantly surprised to find that they've added a large number of brand new benches and picnic tables made with recycled material. Also, the parking lot at the main entrance has been redone and doubled the capacity. For these surprises I'm bumping the rating up to 5 stars. PS. If you're into mountain biking, I'll let you in on a local secret. There is a technical course adjacent to the southeast side of the park and you can access it at the end of Brookwood Dr.

There is something for everyone to enjoy here. Bring your canoes or kayaks. There is a boat launch near the entrance. You can fish here, the lake is stocked with fish. We have yet to catch anything but plants and a snapping turtle. There is a nice trail along the lake to walk or bike. There is a little playground too but this is probably the worst maintained area of the park. There are no bathrooms here but there are porta potties. Every time I've been here when it's warm the ice cream truck has come in here. Other than that there are no concession stands. Just pack a lunch and enjoy at one of the picnic tables.
