Trap Pond State Park is open daily from 8:00 am to sunset. Entrance fee: DE registered vehicle: $4/day, Non-DE registered vehicle: $8/day. Walking/biking: Free. There are excellent opportunities for both hiking and boating. You can rent a boat or join a guided tour into the pond's scenic headwaters (mid-April through October) for the best views of the bald cypress forest. You can also put your own canoe or kayak in at Trap Pond.
For walking there are many trails to choose from. The Bob Trail (indicated on the map), is the best option for birdwatching. This 4.5 miles circular trail winds around Trap Pond and links the Park Office, campground, and Baldcypress Nature Center. The trail follows a crushed stone surface and traverses a fresh water wetland over an elevated bridge.
