Haddon Lake park is bounded by the towns of Haddon Heights, Audubon and Mount Ephraim. People visit this park to go jogging, walking, take the kids to the playground, have a picnic, etc. They also allow fishing (trout stocked, need license). The lake is shallow/has no current but the water doesn't appear to be stagnant. I believe bass & sunfish is also to be found but I can't confirm. I have seen quite a few turtles in the lake.
It's a failry small park, I usually enter the park off of E Lake Drive in Audubon. I use it to go jogging. You can ride a bike but it is best for pedestrian traffic. Most of the path is is paved, less than 2 miles worth. Quite often I run into the 'three women chatting and monopolizing the entire path without any regard for the single file courtesy' syndrome.......... "Move b*itch, get out the way" comes to mind. The park also has a small stretch of wooded 'cross country trail' that is nicely shaded from the heat in the summer.
From the Audubon side you can choose to cross over Kings Highway & continue to Station Avenue. Along the way you will come across the 'McLaughlin-Norcross Memorial Dell & Amphitheater'. This amphitheater often hosts folk bands, charity/kids events..... very family oriented. You will also see people practicing Tai-Chi at the amphitheater. You will also come across the 'Multi-War Honor Roll' stone memorial. Throughout the park I have noticed markers that appear to signify a Disc Golf course but I don't know if it is active.
Overall, I like this park for jogging since it is so close to my home. read more
