Confirmed from Evansburg State 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.
This nature area contains creek, 18th- & 19th-century Mennonite buildings, campsites & ball fields.
What runners say about Evansburg State Park
“The trails are accessible from the visitor parking lot that has well-maintained restrooms.”
“Evansburg park is a wonderful park with beautiful hikes nestled between skippack and collegeville.”
“The trails are muddy, not well marked, include roads, and are easy to get lost on.”
Wow, This park is absolutely beautiful. I've been coming here for years and I love it more and more every time. The amount of trails, wildlife, and nature to enjoy here is crazy! I wish I could rate Evansburg higher! There are plenty of trails ranging from super easy and short to longer and more challenging.
This park and trails are great here. Evansburg has neat trails if you enjoy hiking through the woods and along the river. Some of the trails take much longer than stated (which is a good thing) because there are so many places to stop and things to see not on the maps!
A treasure of a park and to think it is just 15 mins drive from home is just awesome. Has many trails, and picnic areas. Our favorite trail is the Skippack Creek Loop trail with a few rolling hills - all in the midst of great lush-green nature.
Perfect day with nature. Always have a wonderful time with my family and friends hiking the trails to the water. We love to have a picnic, skip rocks, and enjoy the sun. The best days are when you see people riding horses through the water or trails.
