Warwick’s woodlands provided much of the timber for charcoal used in the early American iron industry. A portion of the French creek meanders through the 538 acre park. An ideal site for nature study, the
Horse-Shoe Trail, extending from Valley Forge to the Appalachian Trail, adds length to the numerous miles of multi-use park trails.
The County and its regional offices will accept reservations for facilities up to twelve (12) months in advance. For example, a reservation for a facility on May 1, 2011, may be made as early May 1, 2010.

Fishing Information
The angling opportunities in Warwick County Park consist of one resource - the French Creek. Located in northern Chester County, two miles of this pristine creek can be accessed from within the park. The portion meandering through Warwick County Park averages 15-20 feet wide and 18-24 inches deep. French Creek is classified as a coldwater fishery, but hosts both coldwater and warm water species. Each year, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission stocks Rainbow and Brown Trout. From a trout fishing perspective, French Creek is one of the most popular destinations in the southeastern corner of Pennsylvania.
