Bucks County Parks

Several miles of mixed, twisty, sometimes technical forested trails and cross country. This area is bottom land with a mix of old-growth forest and new (20 year) saplings over fallow former grain fields. Distinct East and West sections are separated by a large spring fed pond and swamp that are joined by an earthen bridge. It is fairly flat with some small elevation change. Most sections are loop-able with some of the south trails being effectively single-ended. Some technical challenges like trail log-overs, lite root sections, some water crossings and boggy areas in poor drainage sections. Can get overgrown in some sections in the spring by stinging nettle then in the summer/fall with muliflora rose and briars. There is also a large deer population that can spook easily. Small jump/free-ride section near trail entrance. Area is owned by Bucks County Parks and Recreation and was recently blazed, however the trails are not maintained by them. Area is shared and there are occasional hikers. Main access is from the D&L Canal tow path, parking at the Black Rock Road lot.

Access Info

Park at DCNR lot at Black Rock Rd. South on towpath 1/4 mile to trailhead on left side, marked by sign and bench. Also accessable from the trailheads on Saly and Nancy Roads.
