Evansburg State Park

About Evansburg State Park

Evansburg State Park is located in central Montgomery County in the south between Norristown and Collegeville. Evansburg offers picturesque views of the Ohio River and its tributaries, as well as a wide variety of wildlife. The narrow valley was first inhabited and built by Mennonites who also used water skippers for their industry. Over time, the land was divided into ridges and valleys, creating a sense of enclosure and a picturesque view.

The park is a reminder of early American life and is still dominated by the Mennonites and their religious beliefs, as well as the history of the Ohio River Valley. Today, it is a major tourist attraction that attracts day-trippers from Montgomery County and Philadelphia. People come from as far away as New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania.

Early morning and evening hours are the best time to see deer, rabbits and other wildlife. Evansburg State Park is wooded and open to the public for hiking, camping, picnicking, fishing and hiking.

The following parking regulations to protect parking resources: Poison, phones and fires are widespread in the park, and poison and telephone fires can cause serious health problems.
When William Penn bought part of his American province, now called Evansburg State Park, in 1684, the residents lived in the Unami Lenni Lenape, a nation from Delaware.

Penn said the area was rebuilt soon after and Skippack Pike was built in 1714 to provide access to the Philadelphia market. The first bridge over the Delaware River in Evansburg State Park is the oldest bridge in continuous operation. It has been heavily used and built since 1792, but it is the only one of its kind in the United States.

The Skippack Valley remained an agricultural economy in the first half of the 20th century, but after the Second World War the pace of change accelerated.

Urbanization threatened much of the landscape, putting the region's rural charm at risk. The background to this study is the planning of Evansburg State Park.

The first was the Tripartite Commission, which established the location in 1933, and in 1962 the State Planning Office designated Evansburg as an area to be acquired under the National Planning Program for the Development of the City. In the late 1960s, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the State of Indiana financed the first phase of development of a state park in the area. The plan for this first phase was approved by the Indiana State Board of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources (ISRNR) in 1975.

Today, Evansburg State Park in Montgomery County serves as a buffer against a highly developed area and preserves a significant area of unspoiled natural beauty. While the community around the park continues to grow and grow, the parks continue to provide a place for recreation, education and outdoor solitude. The resources needed to develop the state park, which was officially opened to the public on June 28, 1979, were provided by the Indiana State Board of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources (ISRNR).
