I live within walking distance of Tyler Park and the Covered Bridge...nice walking trails, good workout up and down the hills. Nice place to bring your dog on a leash. Many dog folks dont abide by the rule of leashing their dog and it becomes an unpleasant experience if you have a dog that is anxious. So please be courteous and respectful and leash your dog..

The 5,286-acre Nockamixon State Park is in the rolling hills of scenic Bucks County, close enough to Philadelphia or a day trip, but far enough away for a vacation. Tohickon Creek, Three Mile Run, and Haycock Run feed the 1,450-acre Lake Nockamixon, which is a rest stop for migrating waterfowl and a destination for boaters and anglers. 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.

This park has everything you can wish for from beautiful vistas, hiking trails, biking trails, boat and canoes rental , fishing and golfing. Visited the overflow overlook point and then headed to Marina. We had lunch by the beautiful lake on a sunny day enjoying gorgeous views of boats and canoes passing by on the lake. The spot was off the trail and pretty isolated. We will return to the park more prepared with bikes and fishing gears next time.

I found out about this park recently, so my friend and I went for a hike. It is really a nice place to go hiking, mountain biking, or rock climbing. The views were pretty good. The leaves are starting to change now, which made it nicer. I can imagine what it looks like with complete autumn foliage. The parking lots are small, so it fills up quickly. I recommend getting there early.

Shame on me for just NOW discovering this gem of a state park in Bensalem Township, where I have lived for 35+ years! Neshaminy State Park is nestled on 300+ acres near the confluence of the Neshaminy Creek and the Delaware River. Fast Fact: In 1956, the land for the park was detonated to the Commonwealth by Robert Logan, who was a direct descendant of founding father James Logan. The park is gorgeous and has a huge marina, swimming pools and multiple hiking trials. Check it out for yourself.

This (free) State Park is unique because of what it offers for visitors, outdoors experiences like: hiking or biking along the long flat towpath, stopping at spots along the river and skipping stones. The towpath leads thru quaint small towns, farm lands and some forests. Great to be on the towpath with families doing things together. Stop and buy ice cream or drink at a few spots along the way. You can even connect to the New Jersey side canal trails. Delaware Canal state park also has a section in Upper Black Eddy named the Giving Pond. Not too many people know of this area. It has a lake of about 100 acres, remote peaceful picnic areas and a few trails that connect with the towpath as well. It’s a great spot for fishing, canoeing and kayaking. There is also some river access but you need to cross a major roadway. Be careful when crossing, traffic moves very fast. There is still a little bit of nature in the area, beaver, birds, snake, deer, eagles, skunk, weasel, turtles and others. There are also some very good environmental and fun activity programs put on by park’s environmental educators for this area and other sections along the canal. The Delaware Canal State Park is usually well maintained and picnic areas clean, but at some spots the towpath can get over grown with brush and some areas have some trash issues because of goofball, careless, and lazy park users and some property neighbors. Rangers seem to do a pretty good job all around. They are friendly and try to keep people following the rules, which is good for all users. But with such a long park they are hardly seen and I think the park could use a few more to keep on top of things and in case of emergencies with hikers, walkers, bikers and kids. There is great historical value to the park with all the canal locks, bridges and lock tender houses. There is historical information related to nearby or adjacent properties. Washington Crossing Historical Park, New Hope, Easton, Yardley, Bristol, Raubsville and other areas. Maybe you will see a mule or two or three (art statues) along the towpath. Overall a great place to experience. Try to see all 60 miles if you can. Each mile seems a little different from the next and then seems different with the change in seasons. Maybe walk just a small section in the evening before dusk with a close friend or the kids. . I have been to this park many times over last 7 years or so. Mostly all good experiences.
