Great flat paved trails with some shade near front of park. Playground is clean. Back loop is accessible from trails but if you drive its a gravel road so maybe not great if you have a car that sits low.

Amazing park, secluded, well maintained and there are few pavilions with barbecue grill along side. Great for a walk, jogging, dog walk, to sit and relax on the river side for sometime, wonderful for a picnic, couple of barbecue grill. Wonderful kids play area and rides. I saw 3 ships passing through the river when I was walking, which is nice. You can enjoy a beautiful sunset in the evenings. There are not many people here, so no need to worry about Covid situations much, but to be on safe side always wear a face mask 😷. *Decent parking space. *Restrooms are available. But not so clean. *This park is closer to the highway so not quite. *There is a seasonal entry fee. I don’t think it worth the fee. So you can avoid the fee by visiting in off season. (Fee season: March 1 to November 30: Instate vehicle: $4, Out of state vehicle: $8)

Great view of the two bridges and a cute park and walking paths. The pavillon is large and allows shade from the hot sun. We stopped to enjoy a nice lunch on our trip.

Not the greatest State Park, by far, but the view of the Delaware River is unmatched 🏞️ Watching ships go by and viewing historic landmarks is dope. Not much to do here other than chill with the boys so try & not get into too much trouble... You know how State Park Rangers are 🙄👮🏽‍♂️

Park is good, has lots of space for parking, benches. Part I liked was children play area and long river walk. Currently fees is waived due to off season, which is kinda good but otherwise you need to pay at the entrance $4 I believe. I recommend this park.
