| Four miles west of Milford, Pike County Park is reached by turning right on Route 6W at the top of the S-curve hill above the town. This is Schocopee Road (see sign for Black Walnut Inn). After a short distance, you pass under I-84; take the next left turn. This continues Schocopee Road (Woodtown Road on Delaware State Forest public use maps). 2.5 miles ahead, a left fork takes you to the Park and the parking area on the left. Lily Pond is off to your right and the Raptor Center is on the left below the dam. There are five trails here to enjoy and a connector to a deeper hike into the Delaware State Forest (#9, 10, 11)

Huckleberry Trail |

|
From the parking lot on the other side of Lily Pond Dam, look for a barely visible path into the woods on the left as the road turns. It’s a short ¼ mile over a low ridge to where Savantine Creek flows from a small swamp.

Range Trail |
|
|
On the way out to the Craft Farm, you cross a pipeline. Coming back, take it down over Craft Brook and up to the next high ridge to Range Trail. The track along the pipeline is rough, so be conscious of your footing. Also, you may have to leap from stone to stone to cross the Craft. When you reach...
