Description:
Herrontown Woods Arboretum: Herrontown Woods, owned by Mercer County and run by the County Park Commission, is located in the northeastern corner of Princeton Township. It can be reached by taking Snowden Lane off Route 27 (Nassau Street). The entrance to the parking area is located on the left a few hundred feet before the intersection of Snowden and Herrontown Road. This completely wooded park, with its mature trees and gently rolling contour, is among the best in the area for a moderate hiking adventure. A system of more than three miles of color-coded trails enables the visitor to explore the forest ecosystem and provides an insight into the history of the tract as well.
