Trap Pond State Park


Trap Pond Road Closure, Boat Ramp Closure, And Boating Access Notice

As a result of a failure of the Trap Pond Spillway, pond water levels have been intentionally lowered to mitigate further damage and allow for essential repairs to the pond’s spillway. Due to low water levels, access to the pond and related activities will be limited until repairs are completed and the pond returns to acceptable and consistent levels. Additionally, the boat ramp is closed. For alternative boat launch options please visit https://dnrec.delaware.gov/fish-wildlife/fishing/access/

Road Closure: With construction underway, please note that the section of Trap Pond Road from the boat ramp to the main entrance will be closed until further notice. Download the Detour Map and Directions. *Note: GPS may not currently be rerouting correctly.

About the Park

Once used as an industrial logging pond starting in the late 1700s, Trap Pond is home to the northern-most, naturally occurring, stand of Baldcypress trees. Trap Pond hosts a high diversity of plant and tree species and is an excellent fishery for bass and other warm-water fish species. The park boasts nearly nine miles of canoe and kayak trails, and kayaks, canoes, boats and paddleboards are available for rent. A ramp allows boaters to launch and fishing docks are available at multiple locations. Guided tours of the cypress swamp, numerous cemeteries and an1800s church tell the history of the area. Birders and wildlife watchers can enjoy the plentiful woodlands while more than 12 miles of trails await hikers, bikers and equestrians. The campground features tent and RV sites along with cabins and yurts for a variety of woodland stays. Disc golf, playgrounds, pavilions, a picnic area and two primitive youth camps round out the recreation opportunities. The Baldcypress Nature Center which offers exhibits and interpretive programs about the park’s natural and cultural history, is also available for special event rentals.

Amateur Photo Contest

Trap Pond Partners' Third Annual Amateur Photo Contest started in September and will run through mid-August 2024. As with last year's contest, pictures from all seasons at Trap Pond and its' properties, Trussum Pond and Barns Woods can be used.

The goal of the contest is for people to enjoy the beauty of the park and all the views it has to offer throughout the year. Photography is a great way to value extraordinary memories.

The contest is for the young and adults. Two groups- Youth (12 years and under) and Adult (13 years and older) participate. This year, in addition to First Place winners for each season in each group, there will also be Honorable Mention for each season.

Placards (information sheet), rules and regulations can be found at the Camp Store and Nature Center or at the Trap Pond Partners web site.
