A mix of cropland, meadows, old fields and mature woodlands, Evansburg State Park offers a chance to relax in the tranquility of the natural world — a welcome respite amid the growth of surrounding communities in Montgomery County.

There’s also plenty for the sports enthusiast: a golf course, 4 regulation baseball fields, 15 miles of designated trails for horseback riding, a five-mile mountain bike trail, some 150 picnic tables and more than 1,000 acres open to hunting, trapping and the training of dogs during established seasons.

And fishing. There's plenty of fishing. Skippack Creek, which runs through the park, is stocked with bass and trout, along with more uncommon finds like eel and catfish.
