E. Mortimer Newlin, founder of the Nicholas Newlin Foundation, was an enthusiastic fly fisherman who immediately recognized the possibilities of the trout stream - the West Branch of the Chester Creek - that runs through the property. Consequently, trout fishing has become an enjoyable feature of the park.

ATTENTION!

Due to the high temperatures over the summer, we are extending fishing through November 27th.
