Ralph Stover State Park

Reviewed By Abernathy15 - New Canaan, Connecticut

The valley, in which this park is set, is amazingly beautiful. A crystal-clear creek runs through it--great for children & pups to cool off. The picnic area is very large & nwell-maintained. Bathrooms are reasonably clean. The two, nearby covered bridges are stunning as well.

BUT...the hiking trails are unmarked and there are no available trail maps. Furthermore,
State of PA road signage for getting here is non-existent. Unless you're a local, expect to waste a lot of road time & gas wandering around, looking for this place.

Visitors can stay the night in a cabin or enjoy the many activities of the park for the day. Popular activities are picnicking, swimming in the pool, hiking, biking, disc golf, hunting, fishing, and boating. Seasons and Hours: The park is open every day of the year, sunrise to sunset. Day use areas close at dusk. The park office is open specific hours. Fishing and boating is permitted 24 hours a day in designated areas. Some park areas are closed to vehicles in the winter. Contact the park office for facility seasons and hours.

Beautiful park and scenery. We wanted to go kayaking however the lake was too large in my opinion. We did however enjoy just walking around and enjoying the views.

Loux Covered Bridge

Reviewed By Jeannene A - Hannacroix, New York

We grabbed a brochure from the visitor center and set off to see some covered bridges. Many bridges here -- unique in that designs, trusses, lengths, colors, heights are all different. There are about 12- 14 bridges in the area. Most on back roads so you can get out and walk through them, as well as drive through most of them. Fun activity for the afternoon.

I probably would've given more stars to this trip had there been a little more instruction for someone who was as nervous as I was having never done this before and bringing seven teenage girls, only one of whom had actually done this before. That being said we were fortunate enough to enjoy a perfect summer day floating lazily down the Delaware river. I make sure I read the reviews on trip advisor before we went and we were well prepared for the ticketing, which seemed to cause some reviewers some consternation but we had our tickets in hand and our waivers in hand and waltzed right onto a bus for our adventure. At first I was told on the phone that all children under the age of 14 had to wear life vest then we got there another young man told us 12 and under so of course only one of the teenagers actually agreed to wear a life vest, but that was my problem not theirs! So we hopped on the bus and the young man gave us some brief instructions about what to do and off we went fortunately there were other people getting off at the same three hour trip stop that we were so I followed them down to the river but there were absolutely no signs pointing the way. We got on the river fairly easily and roped ourselves together which was another great piece of advice from TripAdvisor reviewers and we coasted down with only one minor spot that we had to get up and walk our tubes over shallow water and rocks. There's a very cute hotdog barge type thing at one point and a tiny beach -type area that you can pull over and have a hotdog on the river. They were even a few picnic benches! It didn't seem to be associated with this particular outfit but it was actually a cute diversion which we didn't take advantage of. The three hour trip was more like a 2 1/2 hour trip even though the river was going quite slowly I felt. Overall I thought it was a very fun adventure and I would definitely like to go back. Definitely ask questions if you need to, as everyone who works there was very pleasant and accommodating!

Linden Hill has a wonderful mix of plants and stones, but that is only the beginning! Come and enjoy the farmers' market and the artisan crafted products. On summer Fridays, they will even grill your fresh food for you. I love this place. Someday, I will have them design a garden for me.

This is a very special event just in time for Valentines Day. Five course dinner, five different wines. All delicious and well paired. The explanation by the owner Joseph made it thoroughly entertaining. Foods from soup to cheeses to salads to files mignon to dessert - all perfect!

Peddler's Village

Reviewed By Vinnydee2015 - Staten Island, New York

This multi acre complex is a pleasant environment for spending several hours of browsing through unique shops although few bargains are available. We found a few good deals but you should expect to pay full listed price especially on crafts, collectibles and handmade items. Clothing prices are more flexible. Several restaurants are on site and we chose Earl's (see separate review). All in all we found ourselves immersed in a very laid back environment and got in plenty of steps! We will definitely return.

Kids Castle

Reviewed By Dorothy S - Los Angeles, California

Incredible - and free- humongous play structure for kids and big kids at heart alike. Massive four story structure with two giant slides, climbing galore, a place to picnic and tons to see/explore. Little kids have a nearby area, but be prepared to chase them as they chase the older ones. Don't come when too hot (no shade) but a great place to visit w kids in Bucks County.

Peace Valley Park

Reviewed By Mark V - Lansdale, Pennsylvania

We've been going to Peace Valley for decades. Lake galena was where I learned to windsurf before they ruined the launch area. You can still rent rowboats and canoes. A six mile walking trial is perfect thought a few hills will get you working. The nature center is a treat.

Picnic areas are nice and I understand you can reserve them for family picnics, etc.

Biggest problem is bicycling around the lake has gotten to be a struggle because of the poor condition of the trails and others with baby carriages and strollers have complained as well. Once upon a time it was fun for roller blades, too, but forget it now.

Hewn Spirits

We stopped out of curiosity and were very pleased with this place. Rum, whiskey and vodka produced locally. I must say, their rum is surprisingly smooth. We could not stay for the music, but is definitively a need to do stop if you are in this town!!
