Park Description:

This 74-acre natural area located just outside downtown Princeton is a favorite for family walks, birding, and fishing.  Originally part of King George III's land grant to William Penn, it was famed until the late nineteenth century. In the early 1980s it was purchased by Princeton Township - in part through the Green Acres funds - and is now preserved as open space.

Trails Overview:

A network of several miles of trails makes two main loops through the predominantly wooded preserve, with areas of wetlands. 

Directions:

The parking lot is located on Mountain Ave., just off US 206 in Princeton.
