The two trails that wind through the Alloway Creek Restoration Site are relatively easy so kids should be able to manage them.  But there are no amenities such as rest rooms, food stands or picnic facilities.

Don't forget insect repellant, especially on days when there is no breeze. Also, remember your binoculars for spectacular bird sightings! And if you bring Fido, be sure to remember his leash.

Through out its history, Alloway Creek has had many names including Cotton, Korten, Monmouth and Roiters Run. The current name originated from the Leni Lenape leader Alloes.

Just because he hasn't been spotted in the town of Elsinboro, where Alloway Creek is located, doesn't mean he won't show up.  So watch out!  He just might use those kangaroo-like legs of his to hop on over to this neck of the woods and scare the hair right off your head.
