Brochure InfoThere may be no more enchanting location in the state to hike, fish, camp, or picnic. A canoe trek into the swamp will bring you face to face with abundant wildlife, wildflowers, and the graceful baldcypress trees flourishing in the swamp's wetlands. Trap Pond State Park hosts the northernmost natural stand of baldcypress trees on the East Coast. Our campground is nestled along the pond's northern shore under a forested canopy of hardwoods, beneath towering loblolly pines.Brochure Info - RecreationHiking, Camping, Boating, Fishing, Horseshoes, Picnicking, Volleyball Check out current events and programs happening during your stay!Brochure Info - Facilities and RestrictionsNature Center, Camp Store, day-use areasBrochure Info - Nearby AttractionsHistoric Laurel, Quaint Woodland Ferry, Trussum Pond, antique shops, Fenwick Island State Park, Delaware Seashore State ParkKey InfoEntrance Fees: In effect March 1 through November 30.
