Historic Smithville Park

Burlington County's showpiece park, where easy trails wind past a 19th-century factory village and a floating walkway crosses the lake.

Historic Smithville Park preserves the industrial village built by H.B. Smith along Rancocas Creek. Short, well-kept trails loop through the woods and past the old mill buildings, with signs along the way that tell the story of the place.

The floating walkway over Smithville Lake is the highlight for most visitors. Trails here are short and mostly gentle, which makes the park a good fit for older dogs and relaxed walks.
