Trail & Stream Improvements

Trail Reconstruction and Streambank Stabilization are completed.

Trail Reconstruction

Thanks to a grant from the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and funding from Friends of Wildwood, a 1400-foot section of Wildwood Way Trail has been reconstructed and repaved.

The improvements included the replacement of a 100-foot raised boardwalk with an elevated trail section, storm water control measures, other macadam repairs, and regrading/paving the 50-foot entrance to the North Boardwalk for improved ADA access.

Construction was completed October 13th.  

Streambank Stabilization

 

Thanks to a grant from the PA Department of Environmental Protection, a 600-foot section of Paxton Creek’s streambank has been improved. The project re-graded and maintained  eroded streambank sections, restored natural stream flow, stabilized the Paxton Creek Bridge foundation, and decreased long-term sediment flowing into Wildwood Lake.

Construction was completed 9/11/26.
