Due to construction, the historic zone of the park is closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Therefore our historian-led and self-guided tours are currently suspended until 2026. These pages are informational only!
The WCPA has developed four self-guided tours for Park visitors. Click the links to learn more about each.

The Rachel Horne Trail
This self-guided interpretive trail is roughly a quarter-mile-long and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. It is named for Rachel Horne who, in 1964, helped establish the nature center in Washington Crossing State Park as the first year-round nature interpretive program in the New Jersey State Park Service
