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!

I am truly NOT the outdoorsy type but I will agree to the occasional hike or bike ride and this was…read moreone of those days. 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.

Luckily we brought water! Don't forget to bring water , bug spray, and sunscreen if you come when it is sunny! Amico Island State Park is a beautiful, stunning isolated park. Since it is isolated, there is a lot of different wildlife that can be seen all over the island. My boyfriend and I saw butterflies, ducks, mushrooms, reeds, grasses, and more. There were also birds that could be heard in the trees. There was not as many birds as expected though that might have been due to the heat. We also didn't see any deer but probably for the same reason. There were many bugs, so be prepared for that if you do come. There is one main trail which is very easy to follow as well as side trails. About halfway through the trial, there is a viewpoint which is great for photos and enjoying the scenery. This park is great for hikers, birders, nature photographers and much more! I would totally recommend!

I noticed a few benches and tables along the path if you want to stop and picnic. Overall, it was such a peaceful and serene setting, especially by the water, and the many sweet smelling honeysuckle paths. The park is basically a 2mi loop which took me about 35 mins to complete from beginning to end, with a couple stops for pics, and to take it all in. I only noticed one other person when I started, but as I was leaving, quite a few groups were arriving. So if you want to avoid crowds maybe early is best, or an afternoon start for those who want a lot of company.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL PARK!!!…read more My son and I took our Crown Chicken orders to the park to eat on this brisk but sunny day. Neither of us had ever been. We pulled up and parked by the (very nice and clean) playground. Then we walked and talked and took photos on our way to the first bench that we came to. Friendly ducks came right up to us while we were chowing down. We put some lettuce and rice on the ground for them. We then proceeded walk around the beautiful lake, taking many pictures as we went along. Others were walking, running, and fishing. We all were all making the most of this lovely Spring day! What a pleasant one in April :) Definitely coming back to this hidden gem of a park!

I was able to get a pin that says I hiked the Silver Lake Trail. so cute! I added it to my pin collection! Within the Visitor's Center there is information about common species within the park and information about species that used the live there before so many people lived nearby. It was very educational and helped me look for native species when walking around. There were also several turtles in tanks to look at and that was lovely. After the Visitor's Center, I went outside to enjoy the trails. There are a few different trails, I was just wandering around. I walked about 1.5 miles. On the path, I took photos of many native species and the biodiversity here is amazing! Partway through the trail, there is an overlook that allows you to look over the water and the view is amazing. I saw many people walking their dogs and enjoying the scenery. There were also a few families walking around. This is a peaceful, well-maintained park that is an excellent spot for birding, walking, nature photography, and much more! This is a hidden gem that I would totally recommend!!

One of the very first beautiful days of spring we decided to check out the 5 Mile Woods in Yardley…read more The main trail was blocked off and closed, but it appeared that the other trails still accessible. It was still very early in the season so the trees have not come into their full foliage, but a lot of lovely little spring flowers were popping up along the edges of the trails, the weather was warm. The wind was lovely and the sun was shining. The trails are in desperate need of repair. I am not one for actual built, walking paths through an alleged "Woods" A better name would have been 5 Mile Park. This place very much gave me the vibe of the song Big Yellow Taxi "they took all the trees and put em in a tree museum" the feel of the place was anything, but "woodsy" the entire area was built up with wooden planks and boardwalk style walking trails rather than what one would typically experience in the "Woods". Also, they do not allow dogs. Remember people we can't have dogs running about in the woods. (How absurd) we did encounter some wildlife, several skittering squirrels, and a lovely black snake met us as we crossed the bridge of the stream, I guess he too, was looking for his natural habitat. As the days begin to get longer, the temperatures start to rise and my yearning to be in the outdoors strengthens as these next few months unfold; I will be out and about walking trails and appreciating nature, but I don't think 5 Mile Woods will be where I will be doing it.
