DELANCO, NJ – Burlington County’s push to develop additional miles of pedestrian and bicycling trails continued this month as construction started on a new trail linking Amico Island Park in Delran to Pennington Park in Delanco.
The new path is one of several new trails projects in the works or near completion in Burlington County, which already has more than 1,000 acres of developed parkland and 50-plus miles of interconnecting hiking, biking and running trails.
“Whether you’re in training for a marathon or just looking for a serene walk along the creek or through the countryside, Burlington County has some of the best trails in the entire state, and this new path promises to make our network even better by connecting two of our most popular parks,” said Commissioner Linda Hynes, the Board’s liaison to the Department of Resource Conservation and Parks. “This path will showcase a portion of our county full of history and a variety of natural scenery, wildlife and terrain. We’re thrilled to see work commence and we can’t wait to see it open later this fall.”
