That'll be next time.

Still a small dirt road leading to the park, and the sound of the stream as soon as you get out of the car. I rock jumped out to the big rock in the center of the stream that was my favorite spot. Very relaxing and peaceful place, and I can not wait to go back. I showed my beautiful wife this place so special to my heart, and she loved it.

The trail on top of the highest point looking down (and a picnic table!) on all the natural wildflowers is almost spiritual. I enjoyed taking hikes early in mornings just for reflection. Highly recommend. Note: With the wildflowers, come the bees so please keep this in mind if you have an allergy and planning a trip here. Occasionally, you'll get a curious bee checking you out, but their harmless usually give a good sniff, and are on their merry way

This "state park" is bizarre to me. It's basically one long, paved pathway that has the Delaware…read moreRiver on one side, and a highway and train tracks on the other. There aren't many trees - it's not woodsy. Literally you can just walk down a long path and see the river. I came here because eBird told me it was a birding "hotspot" - but I didn't see one thing besides some Canada Geese and a few gulls. I don't think I'll be returning for birding or hiking. This pathway is really good for runners and joggers...that's about it, in my opinion. Oh, how could I forget...they also charge a fee for you to enter!! I just don't get it. There are so many other outdoor places where you can see more, do more, and pay NOTHING!

The grounds are well kept and the bathrooms were surprisingly clean. There are park rangers that come by from time to time. The day we went it wasn't crowded which is a plus. You do have to pay for parking $4 if you live in Del $8 if you live out of state. No complaints with this park. There are plenty of trash and with extra trash bags for easy clean up.

It's a relatively short but beautiful paved trail that goes mostly along the…read morerailroad tracks, but through a few stretches of mature deciduous forest, and a couple extensive wetland areas, one at each end of the path. The path is fabulous for birdwatching, especially as it goes through Phillips park, but also at several other points on the path. It's also convenient for travelling through town on bike. If you live in Newark, I highly recommend checking this path out, and I especially recommend checking out Phillips park, at the Southwest end of the path.

Parking is extremely limited at the Valley Road parking lot. One solution to not having a parking option there is to park at the YMCA. They have a long trail that leads from their property on to the Rocky Run Trail. But they don't advertise this. There is no signage. It's up to you to find the entry trail into the forest. How to do this: Simplest way is to park in the rear lot. Find the retaining wall. The entrance to the forest is there. Take the first trail to your left. Go beyond the picnic table area and bear left. Follow the trail until it intersects with the Rocky Run Trail. I recommend going leftwards. This will eventually take you past a small sewage treatment plant. Cross Valley Road and pick up the trail again. And this is where it gets really interesting.

An easy way to find the parking lot is just to take Darlington Road off of Route 1. As soon as you…read morecross the bridge over Chester Creek, the parking lot will be immediately on your right. Like with the Rocky Run Trail, parking is very limited. An alternative is to park on Stephen Drive and enter the Cornucopia Trail. Stephen Drive is in a nice residential area. Your car is probably a little bit safer there. The Cornucopia Trail merges with the Darlington Trail. Wherever you begin to explore, it's going to be a big walk with various kinds of terrain and vistas. My favorite part is where Darlington Trail goes into the forest along the Rocky Run Creek. If you encounter a black Labrador while nearing a home that borders the trail, don't worry about him. He's got one of those shock collars on. He just likes to run around and make a lot of noise.
