Wonderful walking and biking paths for different levels of ability and endurance. Paved paths for those with mobility limitations. Great quick stop and all day. Visitors center was also very well done and has events calendar. Gift shop was small but a nice variety and well priced. Will return to try the other trails when in the area.

This very long and very first urban refuge in America. Around 3.5 miles wet land (marsh land) area. Lots of birds are there. Near to I-95 and Philly Airport. In summer you can see the fruits like Wine berries (Asian Raspberries), White Mulberries, Black Mulberries and Blueberries along the trail.

A Fantastic Urban Refuge for Nature Lovers
This is a fantastic spot for a day out, offering a surprising escape right in the city. The refuge is a true gem, perfect for hiking, birding, and enjoying nature. With plenty of parking, clean restrooms, and a large picnic pavilion, it's well-equipped for visitors.
The trails are great for walking, and it's a very dog-friendly park. While the water levels may vary with the climate, the variety of wildlife is a highlight. I saw many birds and butterflies, including monarch butterflies, making it a great place for photography. The staff is friendly and helpful.
The visitor center is a cool, educational spot that's worth checking out, especially if you have kids. It's an amazing and fun place for the whole family. It reminded one visitor of the Everglades in Florida.
A few visitors noted the excellent birding opportunities, with a variety of habitats attracting many types of birds, including rare ones. However, there is a concern that the northernmost pool is filling with vegetation, which could impact the shorebirds.
Overall, whether you're a serious birder, a family looking for a fun day, or just want to enjoy a peaceful hike, this urban wildlife refuge is highly recommended. It’s a great year-round destination, especially during migration season.

Very nice walk in this refuge, we saw various turtles including snapping, small birds and a bald eagle. The visitor center was interesting and the hostess was very helpful and provided great recommendations.
Part of the park is very close to the highway which is not great. I do not recommend to go there.
