Iron Hill Park

Iron Hill Park was once part of the largest mining operation in Newark, Delaware. Today Iron Hill Park has 334 acres of land that runs alongside I95. There are several old mining pits that can offer mountain biking trails. The pits, though covered, allow for bikers to find roller coaster hills and jumps. There is also a 40 foot drop that leads into an old iron mining pit. Bikers tend to use this run for an exciting run. There are also several other trails throughout Iron Hill Park for biking and hiking. Hikers can explore a variety of areas that have designated trail paths.

Trails tend to dead end or loop around to the main trails. The terrain tends to be tight for single track biking, though there are some wider areas. There are also some rocky sections for hikers and bikers. The length of trails is about 15 miles for biking. The park is open year round. Dogs are welcome in the park.

Park hours are dawn to dusk, with free admission. Trail maps are available for those who wish to use them. It is also best to find out which trails are for hiking and those for biking before heading in.
