Confirmed from West Avenue Nature Trails' 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.
Secluded park featuring hiking trails and an occasional glimpse of the Delaware River.
What runners say about West Avenue Nature Trails
“It was a nice, quiet place to walk around if you enjoy walking in wooded areas.”
This was a nice, well-maintained park. Clear trails that branch off multiple times, so you can make it shorter or longer to walk. Even the full trail isn't that long though. I didn't see much wildlife, but it seemed like it could be a nice place for birds to be so maybe my timing was just unlucky.
Great place to hike. Well maintained. Two trails lead up to Deleware river. During low tide you can walk the banks. Be aware of large cargo ships when they pass they create large wakes of water hitting the banks. I was there today. Everything is frozen Very slippery.
Love taking my pup here! Spots where you can take them to the water, nice trails. With that said the pictures for this place on the reviews....stahhhpp lol!
The park is small and presents no challenge for the physically fit. But it's a nice place to walk your dog and has a view of the river.
