What a hike!!! Take the beach and head towards the Betsy Ross Bridge then curve around towards the Pennsauken Creek. Keeping the old flea market/drive in on your right. Trek through some brush on your left to find cleared paths and then follow the Perimeter Trail back to the parking lot at Palmyra Cove. Took about 2:15 with stops along the way.

This is a beautiful place for a walk or run. Lots of trails throughout the property. You'll even run into some wildlife! I see deer and turkeys every time I visit. The beach however is awful. I've never seen so much trash and litter. It must wash up from the river. It is horribly unsightly. The boardwalk is dangerous. There are boards missing and covered by vegetation. This park could be amazing if the land was better maintained.

I love this place. Simple as that. Make sure you go when the tide is low enough to walk on the beach. It's beautiful, quiet, and great for kids of all ages.

So peaceful. Just a short turn before the Tacomy/Palmyra Bridge and you have a great place to learn and explore. Visiting center is limited due to Covid. Very clean! Staff is friendly and informative. Bathrooms are available and clean. It was nice just to watch the butterfly in the flowers outside.

Someone in the reviews said you can drive on the trail Is this true? Slow obviously. I have disability so this would be helpful.

Donn Rosenbaum | Apr 8, 2021

You can drive to the visitor center. I don't think you drive on the trail itself. Besides, it's gravel & dirt. Any bad weather, and you'd be stuck.

Are there shaded picnic tables or a pavilion here?

Jessica Ranweiler | Nov 4, 2020
Rachel Haine | Nov 5, 2020

I don't think there's a pavilion, but there are shaded picnic tables. Not a ton but also plenty of places to throw down a picnic blanket.
