Parks, lakes and trails offer outdoor fun in Yardville
Yardville is located close to many of the region’s major attractions, from parks to museums and historic homes. Evan Levow of Levow DWI Law, who has written extensively about the Yardville area, shares, “When the weather is nice and you’re in the mood to spend some time outside, consider visiting John A. Roebling Memorial Park…Visitors can hike along well-maintained trails, go kayaking and even go fishing in Spring Lake.” Kayakers often find themselves paddling down Crosswicks Creek, which runs along Yardville’s southern border. Outdoorsy kids can recreate at Switlik Park’s playground or play baseball at Sunnybrae Park’s two fields, while nautically inclined residents can enjoy fishing on the peaceful Gropp Lake.

Yardville’s colonial roots live on in historic homes and venues
Yardville’s history stretches back to the colonial period, and the community has since evolved from farmland into a commuter suburb of both the state capital of Trenton and the New York metropolitan area. A reminder of this long history can be found at the Grafton House, once home to Mercer County’s first sheriff and a former 166-are estate, and now an events venue. This home is just one of three historic residences in Hamilton Township, and lovers of history and architecture will find plenty of opportunities to learn from the Civil War and Revolutionary War museums housed in these buildings.
Major highways connect commuters to Philadelphia and New York City
Commuters traveling into Philadelphia can access the city within an hour due to the presence of the major Interstate 95, while the attractions of New York City are an hour and fifteen minutes’ drive in the opposite direction. Interstate 195 makes summer beach trips a breeze, as Shore towns such as Belmar are just a 40-minute drive away.
