Beautiful park!! Love the hiking trails. Trails are clearly posted. Well maintained summer and winter! My dogs fave place for morning walks!

Simple yet well marked trails. Quiet reflective scenery.

Favorite park near Smyrna. If after May 1 or if weather has been hot and humid, make sure you bring plenty of bug spray. Good bug spray. The trails are gorgeously cut through the woods and are very easily navigated, whether on foot, bike, or horse. 4 trails aside from the Tybout Tracts exist: Yellow, Red, Blue, and the 5K (mix of all 3) to choose from, but all 3 are fairly flat and easy to complete. However, those are known marked trails. I have found plenty others that are unmarked for you to explore.

Very peaceful here. I come here to walk and ride bikes when I have time and its always a nice experience. Very clean and maintained.

Wonderful woodland trails, plenty of areas to visit. Mostly flat, making it a great place to start getting into hiking or get back into shape for more intense trails. We did 13 miles of trail on our visit, and would definitely return to see what the others tracks of land have to offer.

One of my favorite forests in DE! The trails are well marked yet offer many opportunities to get lost, which I may have ended up doing. Its all good though as that only added to the excitement of the trip. There are small outposts located where you could stop and rest also. Overall a great place to hike!

Amazing views and free camping

We love our lil local getaway

I havent been to all the areas yet but we moved to the area looking for new local trails and found this place. Very nice, you can tell it was built long long ago as per the same tree species in the main area, so I wish theyd introduce some variety as its better for the habitat. But its a beautiful place, feel like it definitely needs some love but I feel like if they advertised the camping more they could make some money for renovations. But you cant tell what all they have there or what each parking lot is, its just blackbird park. Had to figure it out myself what it was. But we love getting into nature right down the road so 5 stars for sure. Hope it gets some improvements.

Great easy 2.2 mile hiking trail well marked with portapoty and water spigot in the parking lot. Be aware of hunting seasons! Check website before you hike. Catch and release fishing pond very short walk from parking lot. You might even see some deer and horseback riders. There is also a 4+ mile Blue Loop Trail.

Great clean park. Had a great time with friends and family. Ideal for long walks and also safe for kids.

Great place for a run, stroll, hike, or event.

Hidden gem. The staff is great also. Definitely more primitive then you average campsite which is awesome.

A pleasant surprise. Easy and well maintained trail. We hiked for two miles through the woods. We will come back for the 4 mile trail next.

Its very nice out here. Camp site is open. It gives everything u need for a decent outdoors experience. Only down side is that it close to the railway.

I always have an awesome experience here! There is always pre-chopped wood ready to be lit on fire. The ranger is super friendly too. Just be sure to get their early to fill out a form to ensure yourself a camp spot. You cant just show up and camp, youll run in to problems.

Walking trails well maintained. Nice picnic facility

Great place for a hike.

Beautiful, serene and quiet

Overall, BSF provides some very nice hiking opportunities. My main complaints are the bugs from spring through fall, and that many trails are low-lying so they flood a lot if theres heavy rain. If you venture outside the Tybout Tract (where the main office and trails are) to the other tracts, be prepared for rougher trails and a few parking roads that would do best with an AWD vehicle (the Meadows Tract in particular). Id like to see maybe one tract set aside as NO HUNTING year-round, so hikers and families can still enjoy the forest through the whole year without worrying about hunters.

I’m always walking my dogs at Blackbird or Oak Hill. Several different trails to enjoy!

Only been there once for a wedding. Great place for the wedding. But there is a lot more to it. Definitely going back.

Beautiful Forest with peaceful catch and release ponds! Lots of trails! It’s a good size forest but I hope they build a lake and add more land and trees before the area gets built up!

Beautiful hiking trails!

Good maps loaded with detail, and helpful staff.

Nice hiking trails and tent camping.

Excellent place to camp but need a permit. Free now but they will start charging a fee soon.

Nice place to get out of the house

Nice park, well maintained.

We enjoyed our new years day hike on the trails.

Always peaceful, hiking the trails.

We hiked the blue trail. 4.5 miles, totally flat, easy to walk. There are no spectacular views, but the foliage is nice. The ranger was extra friendly and helpful.

Great hunting area

Not too bad, they have a pavilion and Little Grill for parties cookout and such, the fishing ponds need to be redone, need more trails and campsites, and could use more things for people to do, but not a bad place

Great park. Friendly staff.

Great place to go for a hike with your dog.

What a beautiful place! No entrance fee, lots of trails, bring your own water. Free primitve camping.

Love my home town Forrest/camping grounds! Grew up in the woods and will always love this place! 5 stars!!!

Great trails for hiking and cross country running. This is another scenic place in middle Delaware.

The forest was beautiful, but we went there to fish, the employee told us the Blackbird Lake was a private lake, so is was a bust.If you dont fish, then it would be a nice day out.

Lovely I liked the park got very much of a good time

So relaxing here

A very buggy place in the summer, but it definitely takes you out into quiet nature.

Nice place to tent camp but the porta-pottys are not near the camp sites

Camp here, especially if all the nearby campgrounds are booked! It is very low key.

Awe inspiring trees of all styles, shapes, sizes along trails of silence to a meadow pond of Lilly pads and wildlife. Thank you, Kesha and all!

Loved it its a beautiful site to see :)

Awesome trails for jogging, biking and horseback riding!

Awesome camp ground and best free camp ground in hundreds of miles

Most beautiful place in DE
