Clarification of Authorized Trail Use at Six Mile Run

CLARIFICATION OF AUTHORIZED TRAIL USE AT SIX MILE RUN

May 6, 2024
UNAUTHORIZED AREA NOTICE:

Please be advised, the State Park Service would like to clarify information regarding the existing/official trail network at the Six Mile Run Reservoir Site. Although several social/unofficial trails have popped up over the years, we would like to encourage park users to stay on marked/official trails as designated by the State Park Service and shown on the park map below.

Six Mile Run Trails

As no authorized trail network has formally been established, approved, and/or is maintained in the area south of the Six Mile Run and west of the Creek Trail (Red Trail), we ask that park users avoid this area. Years of unauthorized trail use here has caused damage and erosion to the natural and historic resources at this location.

We ask our park users to set a good example for other visitors today and every day; stay on designated trails!

For more information, please call the D&R Canal State Park office at (609) 924-5705.

WELCOME TO THE DELAWARE & RARITAN
CANAL STATE PARK

With over 70 miles of linear multi-use path along an historic canal and additional trail networks and connections across several counties, park visitors have much to see, experience and explore here. So take a look at our site then pack your hiking shoes, grab your mountain bike or strap that kayak to the car and plan a day trip to the D&R Canal State Park.

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
