A small stretch of the Delaware River: great for canoeing.
Reviewed By PeterWJr46 - Poughkeepsie, United States
This past week, my wife and I were able to ride the fourteen mile loop from New Hope to Washington's Crossing across to New Jersey back to Lambertville and the bridge to New Hope. The paths on both sides of the Delaware River and canals is relative flat and easily navigated. Be sure to bring a bottle of water. The ride is pleasant, but it is without amenities.

My husband and I visited for the first time on November 1st. It was one day after a heavy rain and wind storm. Lots of leaves and some small debris from the trees were littering the walking paths. It was easy to see, though, this was not the norm. It is a well maintained area with lots of natural beauty. The main pathways are wide and an easy walk. This time of year a lot of trees had already lost their leaves, but still some vibrant, beautiful color remained. We met a couple of volunteers in the visitor center and they were very friendly, knowledgeable and eager to talk about the Preserve and answer our questions. We’re already looking forward to visiting again in the Spring.
5. Bucks County Playhouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 274 reviews
Founded in 1939 in a converted 1790 gristmill, Bucks County Playhouse quickly became “the most famous summer theatre in America,” featuring a roster of American theatrical royalty including Helen Hayes, George S. Kaufman, Moss Hart, Kitty Carlisle, Angela Lansbury, Alan Alda, Tyne Daly, Bernadette Peters, and Liza Minnelli and remained in continuous operation until 2010. In 2012, the Playhouse re-opened after a multi-million-dollar restoration thanks to the efforts of the Bridge Street Foundation. In 2018, the Playhouse unveiled The Deck, a 4,000 square foot Delaware-river view restaurant. In 2014, Tony Award-winning producers Alexander Fraser and Robyn Goodman took the helm of the Playhouse. Today the creative teams who create new productions here are among the most talented artists working in the professional theatre. They relish the opportunity to work on the historic stage where Grace Kelly, Robert Redford, and Jessica Walter began their careers.

6. New Hope-Lambertville Toll Supported Bridge

Reviewed By Unresolved_Issue - Edison, United States
Have walked across this bridge on numerous visits to Lambertville-New Hope. Great way to cross the river from Lambertville to New Hope or vice versa. If you plan on visiting both towns, no need to drive across - just park in one town and walk across the bridge to the other town. The walk across the river is scenic with great views of the Delaware River. And great for car watching too.

I was heading down to New Hope winery to see the great Raul Malo. We wanted to eat at the Pour House but were hesitant to do so because of some negative reviews we had read here. Fortunately, we took a chance and had dinner there before the show. We were pleasantly surprised at how great the place was. We were waited on immediately by a friendly new server, Julia. I ordered a bottle of their sauvignon blanc and it was very good; however, I like my wine a bit more chilled. This slight problem was attended to by Julie, who made it her mission to provide me with a cooler and fresh ice every ten minutes or so. I had the chicken salad and it was one of the best I have ever had and my husband was also pleased with his chicken tacos. The servings were plentiful, the food good and the service beyond compare. I can highly recommend this establishment and hope that those who gave it a bad review would consider it again. Although, it was a busy concert night we were served and completed our meals well before the show started. High praise for the Pour House; you will have a pleasant time!

The New Hope Railroad is nestled 37 miles outside of Philadelphia in Bucks County’s premiere destination; New Hope, Pennsylvania. A Delaware river town chock-full of niche shops and resturants, a fitting locale for a day or night out with friends & family. We provide a glimpse into travel of a bygone era on historic trains traveling over tracks that were laid in 1891 by the North-East Pennsylvania Railroad.
