Confirmed from Amico Island Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
A 55-acre peninsula of forest, meadow & wetlands offering hiking, biking, fishing & picnicking.
What runners say about Amico Island Park
“All sorts of wildlife and place is well maintained.”
“Scenic views of Philadelphia's skyline are available; multiple trails throughout the park exhibit plenty of flora and fauna.”
“Stunning views of Delaware river, lush green trails and quiet ambience makes this place a stress buster experience.”
A splendid Burlington County park in Delran, N.J. Not actually an island, the park is surrounded by Rancocas Creek, Dredge Harbor, and the Delaware River, with a land bridge from the mainland. Scenic views of Philadelphia's skyline are available; multiple trails throughout the park exhibit plenty of flora and fauna.
It’s worth a hike here. On your hike, you will see several outlooks by the riversides: you can see the confluences of the Delaware River and the Rancocas Creek, the skyline of Philadelphia, the views of harbors, as well as deer families, wild birds...
Very nice park . Has many view points giving a beautiful and magestic view of Delaware river .. we took all the three (blue, red and yellow) trail... There were access areas along the yellow trail and the kids really loved .. no swimming is allowed...
Amico Island is extremely easy to get to for residents of South Jersey near Philadelphia. It's a quiet and enjoyable place to go for a walk and enjoy nature. You can see Center City's skyline, as well as parts of Northeast Philly from the island. There are lots of birds and some interesting trees.

“Stunning views of Delaware river, lush green trails and quiet ambience makes this place a stress buster experience.”
“Some area of the trail could be muddy, so better wear a pair of waterproof shoes to avoid getting feet wet.”
