Two Capital Projects are underway at Wildwood – Trail Reconstruction and Streambank Stabilization.
Trail Reconstruction
Thanks to a grant from the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and funding from Friends of Wildwood, a 900 foot section of Wildwood Way Trail will be reconstructed and repaved.
This work will occur from the Paxton Creek Bridge to the north, past the North Boardwalk Trailhead. The work includes the replacement of the nearby 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 will take place September 14th – October 31st
- Expect trail closures and detours…More at Wildwood Way Trail Closure

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 will take place August 14 – September 11
- Use caution near work zones
- Stay on marked trails
