It's small, but there's lot of variety at Hildacy. Trails, open fields of grass, streams...pretty much whatever natural spaces you're into. It's not a popular spot so you can expect some privacy even in summer. Free entrance and parking

Beautiful preserve and a nice area to walk and be in nature. I even got to help plant trees!

Wonderful little area in the heart of Delco. Relatively easy hiking trails. Next time I'll need to bring my binoculars since it looks like an excellent site for birding.

We loved seeing Hildacy today for the first time. Made the loop around what is called the "serpentine outcrop" on the map but could not discern anything that I would have called an outcrop, which I thought would have been an obvious rock projection

Hi, William. Thanks for the visit and question. Serpentine rock is very soft and doesn't generally appear as a traditional "outcrop" like you'd see with diabase or other rock.

Would this be a good place to go herping (searching for reptiles and amphibians for fun)?

Sure thing! Crum Creek meanders through the preserve, and there are two large wetland areas close to the parking lot that are teeming with wildlife. Please don't disturb the critters, of course. Thanks for asking!
