Visitor Tips

Rural Roads

Expect narrow roads, limited shoulders, cyclists, farm vehicles, wildlife and occasional steep grades away from the state highways.

Hiking & Hunting

Some preserved properties permit regulated hunting. Check current park rules and wear high-visibility clothing when appropriate during hunting seasons.

Market Days

The antiques market is busiest on its scheduled vendor days. Hours and special events can change, so verify before making a dedicated trip.

Postal Addresses

A Lambertville address may be either Lambertville City or West Amwell Township. Use the attraction's street location rather than the mailing city to understand where you are.
