Burlington County Parks

Here are the parks listed on their website:

Amico Island Park: Okay, so I went there on Aug 20, a Friday around 5pm. I walked almost every trail and I really loved it. There is a nice flat 1 mile loop (blue I think) that would be perfect for a run. There is also the red/yellow trails that go along side the delaware river. There are little paths off some of the marked trails that offer good views of the river, with the Philly skyline in the background, and also others offer views of the harbor. The park is actually a small island- it is bear free! Also, it is pretty well shaded by trees. It was similar to Palmyra Nature Cove but I actually liked the terrain a little better- it just seemed more lush. There was an option of walking on the "beach" of the delaware river, but it was not a marked trail and it was much more rocky than sandy.

Pennington Park
Crystal Lake Park
Historic Smithville Park
Boundary Creek Natural Resource Area
Long Bridge Park

These are listed on the county website as Trails and I have a feeling they might be part of Rancocas State Park- more on this later.
# Rancocas Creek Canoe Trail
# Rancocas Pointe Trail

Here are the parks that are "works in progress." I will check on their status and decide if they warrant a visit to complete my mission:
* Anderson Farm
* County Fairgrounds
* Linear Trails
* Overall Plan
* Master Plan
* Pennington Park Phase II
