Pompeston Creek

Update 04/28/2021:

This is an undeveloped park. Dogs have
to be leashed. The trail is about 1.1 mile long with New Albany Road cutting it into half. It stretches along a creek with shades when trees have grown back leaves. Access from residential neighborhoods. There’s not too much to see but it’s pretty serene for a walk close in town.

Great local place to take a nature walk. Often see deer and listen to the babbling water flowing over the rock beds in various places along the creek. Two sections from West Walnut Avenue in Moorestown to Cinnaminson, one lets you out onto New Albany Road on the Church Street end and if you continue the trail across New Albany it will bring you out on Georgian Drive. Well marked and a wide trail. Fun to be away from cars and houses. Terrific for dogs too. Very serene!

A little muddy after a day of rain but a very nice well maintained trail. I advise wearing waterproof boots or socks. Trekking poles are handy at the creek crossing the rocks in the water are very slippery. I wore waterproof socks and hiking shoes. Very friendly people along the way. There is a downed tree in the trail along the creek just passed the creek crossing(Blue Trail) where the carved owl is in the tree bark. We will try to remove it enough to get passed it. We saw a few deer behind the school and some interesting hand prints in the water on the sand. I’m thinking it was a raccoon. I really like this area and I plan to hike it again soon. I feel this is a good trail for kids and families. I see a sign a Girl Scout had set up at one of the starts of the trail. I think it would be cool if someone could put up signs in front of various trees and bushes to identify the species. I plan on hiking the entire trail or as far as I can get during daylight. Spent some time on trail maintenance today. We have removed the downed tree blocking across the trail only to be set back by the end of the trail system, seems that the blue trail( blue blazes painted on the trees) stop at gps coordinates 39.97854, -74.97467 if anyone can provide me with any information on the continuance of this trail system. I would greatly appreciate it. I would love to hike the entire trail system from end to end.
