Overview

This loop includes all of the trails winding through Roebling Park.

Need to Know

There are portapotties in the parking lot near Spring Lake.

Description

We started on the Abbott Trail (Yellow) before turning right and doing the Bluff Trail (Red). After coming back down and finishing the Bluff Trail (Red), we continued on to the Spring Lake Loop (Blue). We approached Spring Lake from the east and went counter-clockwise around the water.

On the opposite side of the lake, we turned right on to the Island Trail (Orange) for a loop through some marshy area. Then we returned to the Spring Lake Loop (Blue) and headed back to the Bluff Trail, but just briefly before turning right back onto the Abbott Trail (Yellow) to return to the parking lot.

This short hike was very easily done by our dog, who was on a leash the entire hike. We encountered a few people, but all in all it was pretty quiet for a sunny Sunday morning.

Flora & Fauna

This hike is near a tidal marsh along the Delaware River, and the views of the marsh are very nice. Lots of birds to see, and we even caught sight of some deer.
