    We went here to go to high rocks which was a lot of fun. There were a lot of people that were rock climbing so it seemed to be super popular! We couldn't easily find the trails even with the map, but that probably is because there are so many "entrances" and "parking lots". We parked at the lot near high rocks and climbed down to the water and than back up again which was a little challenging but manageable. Overall really pretty and a fun place to explore. I'd like to check out the trails again in the future. They did have maps available at almost all parking lots. There were also a lot of park rangers nearby which was really nice. A decent amount of people were there on a weekday. We went in the early afternoon into the late afternoon. Nice easy drive around the park as well. Definitely worth a stop for a different experience than say Tyler park or Peace Valley.

    Nice lookout over the valley from the high rock vista. You're in bucks county pa but makes it feel like somewhere else with the view. Nice place to hike or go see the view from the top

    Beautiful park in Bucks County with nice hiking trails and beautiful vistas overlooking Tohickon creek. The trails are a bit rugged and some are quite steep so definitely wear hiking shoes, or sneakers at minimum (flip flops just won't do). Rock climbers, bring your gear, because you can scale the walls. It was pretty cool to see the climbers so close. The cons: 1) not a lot of parking in Tory Rd lot (2) the port-a-pot in the Tory Rd parking lot was so filthy with an extremely strong ammonia smell. There is no way that structure is cleaned when the pot is pumped out. The company the park uses to service the pots should be fired.

    Simple but nice park with more trails paralleling each other than you know what to do with and while there are no markers, you won't get lost easily. Good views and probably really nice in autumn. Ample parking but in different places depending which road you come from. Lots of people fishing and rock climbing as well.

    Tried to find a trail here for a 2 hour walk as was in books but couldn't find it. The map was there but just confusing. Stayed for 20 mins tops and left to go elsewhere. Wont bother returning as looks more for picnics etc and im sure its great for that.

    It's really more for rock climbing, but you can go for a nice walk along the ridge too.

    Love this place! The whole playground is gated with only 1 entrance so u can let your kid run free…read moreand guard the entrance as needed. The castle itself is huge but quite cramped inside so it was alot of work following my 2.5 yo kid inside. The castle is targetted for 5yo and up. My toddler enjoyed the spiral slides. The rest of the playground is nice and clean as well. There's free parking available and the castle is a short walk from there. I went there on a Friday afternoon/evening in late august and it wasn't too crowded. I would come back again if I was in the area

    2 stars solely for greenspace. My opinion is based on driving an hour to meet friends here for a…read moreplay date. If you live locally it may be worthwhile but the drive for me was such a waste of my time for what this was. Ready? It's a: Big Wooden Castle Yep, that's it, folks. A gigantic version of that swingset-clubhouse combo you bought at Costco only to rot in your backyard because spiders and rain made it so unpleasant for kids that they refuse to use it. It's that creepy clubhouse times 30! It's pretty much a regular playground with most kids swarming the swings and other play features with a few venturing into the old wood play structure. They go in once and don't go back in again. My son was cursed at by older boys who appeared beyond the age guidelines (and I was surprised to see them still interested in a playground). In the myopic darkness of the castle, my son banged his head when inside the dank structure there was suddenly an unmarked (unlit) drastic change in ceiling height. Needless to say this experience was a turn off. Most kids really preferred being out in daylight because the castle felt more like a dungeon. It was fun to see friends and we enjoyed the togetherness of the play date but unless I'm in the area and desperate for a kid distraction, I won't be back.

    What huge grounds! I'm attending an Art Festival…read more Lots of staff to guide you through parking. Lots of loos. Food booths and a wonderful oldies band. Great shopping . Oodles of crafts, pottery, stained glass, antiques & a piggy painting booth ($10 and a piggy creates a masterpiece-its for animal charities) I'd come back here ! Beautiful

    My first review by campfire light…read more I came along with my boy scout son for a weekend at Tinicum Park in Erwinna, Pennsylvania, just across the Delaware River from Frenchtown, New Jersey. It is not a big park, but has a simple camp facility in an Ash grove a few hundred yards from the water. I remember campout food as being oddly delicious, even with the extra grit and rustic outdoor kitchen, but these days with lightweight stoves and propane flex lines, the campfire is just for night stories. Cooking is much easier, if somewhat less rewarding. Still, I don't think I'll ever get accustomed to deep fried Oreos. The Chicken Tenders and Penne with Ragu were decent after a hike into Frenchtown, and several hours of scout skill training, football, and boys being boys. I even found about 90 minutes to break away and return for R & R at the National Hotel and The Bridge Café while the boys were off on another adventure. Those reviews to follow. Tinicum may not be the first place you think of when considering an upriver jaunt, but if you are into a night or two of roughing it (with a run to Ftown for cocktail and lunch overlooking the river) than it might be the perfect spot to make magic happen.
