Another hidden gem park in South Jersey
This beautiful waterfront park is just a few miles from where I grew up but I just heard about it this month. It’s part of the Burlington County Park system in sleepy little Riverside.
Amico Island Park is right on the Delaware River intersects with the Rancocas Creek. It’s actually not an island but a small peninsula that juts out into the Delaware.
There are bike trails and plenty of nature trails and views of the water and at some spots a great view of the skyline on Philadelphia across the river. The park is great for kids and adults and offers various trails in different lengths that loop back to the entrance, so it s great for any level of exercise. You can bring a picnic lunch and take advantage of several spots to take a break.
