Evansburg State Park is in southcentral Montgomery County between Norristown and Collegeville. Evansburg offers a significant area of green space and relative solitude in an urbanized area.
Its main natural feature, the Skippack Creek, has dissected the land into ridges and valleys that create feelings of enclosures and provide scenic views.
The park includes cropland, meadows, old fields, and mature woodlands that attracts day use visitors from the Montgomery County and Philadelphia areas. People come to the open play fields, picnic areas, trails, golf course, and the relatively tranquil, natural environs.
Directions:
From Collegeville, take the Germantown Pike east. Turn left onto Skippack Creek Road and continue to May Hall Road.
From Philadelphia, take the Germantown Pike west. Turn right onto Skippack Creek Road and continue to May Hall Road.
