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.

I am proud to be the first to review this park. Well, it is mostly lake. I will explain…read more Fishing types go bonkers over this place consisting of twenty acres. Why? Because the state released in Spring 2015 tons of broadstock trout, a.k.a. "lunkers"; at three to seven pounds each, and measuring fifteen to twenty-four inches in length. It was the most fish released on opening day ever in the state of New Jersey. The lake is at the very end of Industrial Drive. Very easy to locate. The path is covered in goose poop and possibly discarded Christmas trees that were shredded by the township for trail chips. It goes completely around the lake. There are side trails that are short and long, some going to water that divides Crystal from Millcreek Park, and some going to the Rancocas. These side trails can lead to bog, so wear tough footwear. There is a main path that goes to the water between the parks- it is easy to find. There is also a very small lake to the right of the bigger one. This one is probably not stocked, but you never know what's in there. If you pass that lake, you will hit another industrial park. Cross that road to get to Olympia for more fishing. This is a good spot for birdwatching. Blue herons stay really still, so look carefully. Don't litter, because it will hurt everything that breathes here. I would not eat a caught fish. Check with the DEP first. In the summer, wear some kind of repellant. If you see a tent at the very front with audible curse words emanating from it, pass it fast. This park is not to be confused with the park of the same name in Burlington, NJ. Crystal Lake has something for everyone- anglers, walkers, birdwatchers, and bottle hunters. And, yes- even weirdos. Interesting Facts: -I had a part-time pet dog here for a few years. He belonged to the water plant next door. -A friend and I came upon a couple drinking a case of Pepsi in the deep woods bordering this lake. Not sure what was going on... -Old bottles are only worth one buck. -In late January of 2002, the Hi-Temp Specialty Metals plant on Industrial Drive had an explosion in which one employee died and at least a dozen were injured. OSHA fined Hi-Temp. Good.

The river here lines right up with a nice neighborhood- which allows for plenty of free parking. There is also a small "beach" where you can easily drop a kayak in. For the most part, the Delaware River is fairly clam- but you do need to watch out for all the boats. If you kayak out a bit you can get to some pretty great areas.

Also, there are benches and tables throughout the property, which makes it convenient if bringing food or if you have children. Everytime I've gone, I've had a lot of fun and caught some nice ones.

The fishing itself was average and didn't feel worth paying for, but what happened while we were leaving was far more serious. As we walked back to our vehicles on the property after dark, a pickup truck came flying around a bend and through the walkway where we were walking. This wasn't someone driving a little too fast--it was dangerously fast, with no regard for people on foot. Had a child or anyone else been directly in its path, I don't believe the driver could have stopped in time. Someone could have been seriously injured or killed. The driver appeared to be someone who lived on the property, possibly the owner or a family member, though I cannot confirm their identity. Everyone in our group was shaken up. This ruined our night and left us feeling unsafe. Management needs to address this immediately, before someone gets hurt. Based on what we witnessed, I would not return or feel comfortable bringing children here.

His mausoleum is in Laurel Hill Cemetery, so although originally from North Carolina, his true impact was on the cultural life of our city. Fairly small, it feels considerably larger due to its connection to Pennypack Park covering a large area in Northeast Philadelphia to the border with Montco. The creek by the same name flows through both parks, tying them together geologically. The watercourse meanders through Lorimer where it has cut a deep ravine over the millennia. There are multiple scenic overlooks worth exploring, even in winter when the absence of foliage allows you to see through the trees to the actual contours of the steep rocky hills across the creek. If power walking or family bike riding is your jam, Pennypack Trail runs along the northern boundary of the park and beyond for several miles, and it is flat, wide and dirt/gravel packed for smooth ambulation or cross country biking, allowing excellent views of the topography and creek vale. Plenty of parking in a big lot across the road from the main entrance.
