About the Park

This 82-acre park located on the island between Milton and West Milton features a variety of activities that offer both a fun, recreational day out, as well as a calm, relaxing time in nature. Shorter walking paths along the middle section of the park are perfect for those seeking some light exercise.

Recreational areas, featured in the northern section, include soccer fields, picnic tables, charcoal grills, and a playground area.

Additionally, a boat ramp on the east side of the island offers a way to get out on the water and enjoy the Susquehanna. Another enjoyable river activity is fishing along the river vistas for some of the warm water and cold water fish living in the Susquehanna. The southern section of the island offers a more moderate hiking trail, as well as scenic views. Below are some recommended activities to enjoy during your visit.

• Paddle the River – If planning to spend a day out on the river, Milton State Park is the perfect spot for launching, ending, or stopping for a quick lunch. More information on a suggested paddling trip from Watsontown to Lewisburg with a lunch stop at Milton State Park can be found here.
• Enjoy the Soccer Fields – Bring your own ball and have fun with some friends on the soccer fields near the middle section of the park. Children can also have some fun at the playfield nearby.
• Go for a Hike – Enjoy nature’s beauty by going on a hike on one of the three trails in the park. The North Trail and Mid Trail are a little easier and good for some light exercise, while the Southern Trail is a bit more challenging.
