Beautiful park with a large number of dirt trails. There are several trails that lead you along the stream and give you some picturesque views.

I've been meaning to write a review of this park for ages since I live relatively close and have spent quite a bit of time on the hiking trails or fishing. Before writing my review and as an experienced hiker and outdoorsman, I'd like to address some of the negative reviews. First, bees and ticks. Yes, you'll find them both at Evansburg. If you leave the bees alone, they usually leave you alone with the exception of being buzzed occasionally. For ticks, use insect repellent and make sure to check yourself thoroughly when you get home. I won't mention exactly where I found one on me but let's just say it's not a place that gets much sunlight. Ticks are everywhere, especially after mild winters like we had last year (2016-2017). It's part of being in the outdoors, either you properly prepare and learn to deal with it or stay inside. For those of you who spend more time in the outdoors than the occasional hiker, treat your clothes with permethrin as an added line of defense against these vampires. Horse manure...yep, it's there since the trails are open to horseback riding, but it's not so bad that you'll need a canoe to get through the piles. I've hiked the trails at Evansburg numerous times, never had difficulty avoiding it. Water fountains on the trails. Really? Bring water with you, the park is long and narrow so depending on where you park, you may end up walking a few miles before reaching the water fountains. No signage on the trails...this is somewhat accurate. The trails are marked but in some areas the markers are few and far between. There are also a number of unmarked side-trails that split off in different directions. To some degree, I can understand how people can get lost. If you're new to visiting Evansburg, pick up a trail map, mark where you park, keep your eyes open for the kiosk stations with the park maps and the "you are here" signs located in the numerous parking lots. If you stick to the main trails and stay close to Skippack Creek, you'll be more likely to have a good experience. Some of the main trails do stray a distance from the creek so there will be areas where you won't be close. Don't panic, they eventually loop back to the creek. With all this said, here's my review. As already stated, I've been to Evansburg several times over the years so that should tell you it's worth the visit if you enjoy hiking, fishing, and if you're a hunter, the park is also open to hunting. The main trails are well maintained but if you stray off the more popular ones, some can be overgrown, especially in the northern end between Kratz Rd. and Skippack Pike. They're passable but during the summer, they can be a bit difficult to find and/or navigate. The terrain at Evansburg is relatively easy with only a few hills to climb and even those aren't that much of a challenge. If you're looking for a leisure stroll, Evansburg would be a good fit for you. If you're looking for more challenging terrain, it would be best to look elsewhere. For those of you who enjoy fishing, there are plenty of spots to choose from and usually some decent fishing to be had. It's been a number of years but I once pulled a 5LB brownie out of there. My suggestion would be to explore the entire length of the creek to find what you're looking for and have fun! My favorite area to fish is south of Ridge Pike but there are plenty of other spots well worth fishing. Ok, those are my likes, what are my dislikes? One glaring issue I have with Evansburg is the trash. No fault of the park or those who work to maintain it but there's a lot of it. I try to pick up what I find when hiking but at Evansburg, I'd fill a 50 gallon bag in a short period of time and have to turn back to find a dumpster. Seriously folks, this park is provided as a place to enjoy the outdoors and with open space being more and more scarce here in southeast PA, please keep it clean and take your trash with you on the way out, it's not that difficult.
