The boardwalk is made of wood and has two sections of 75 foot lengths angling once and ending at the elevated viewing platform. There are also some man-made petrosomatoglyphs in the wood representative of indigenous wild life tracks. The boardwalk was constructed in 2009. There is an interpretive at the beginning of the boardwalk, just off the hard-packed main walking path. At the end of the walk, at the duck blind (which is really cool) is another interpretive as well.
The boardwalk is 815 feet from the parking area and main building. There is a circular-like, hard-packed, walking track which runs around the inner part of the park. The walk is the furthest point away so it does not matter if you go left or right, it is equidistant. You would take the trailhead located at 40° 0.578'N 74° 54.335'W and there decide to make a right or left.
I love coming here with my children. Visitors can experience fields, shrub/scrub, forest, marsh and river without having to trek far or manage rough terrain. The park has wide, level trails, observation platforms and blinds, good signage, rest rooms and safe parking. The observation platforms overlooking Rancocas Creek can provide interesting sightings in any season, from waterfowl in winter to jumping fish, basking turtles, and flycatchers hawking insects in warmer months. This park was designed specifically for birding and wildlife watching.
