Located on wooded, sandy knolls, Wharton Brook offers solitude for a quiet, peaceful picnic.

In 1918-1920, this Park was known as a traveler's wayside; motorists could stop to have their cars serviced and enjoy a quiet picnic lunch. The park was the forerunner of the rest areas developed by the State Department of Transportation. In 1918 Wharton Brook was established as a park.
