Intro to Rock Climbing with Valley to Summit on September 18, 2022…read more This was my second trip to Chickies Rock with VTS and it was wonderful! There were only 5 of us, so plenty of time to climb. Our Guide, Bob, was so patient, engaged and informative. I learned a lot of great things that I had not known before about clothing, ropes and technique. Bob was so patient with me and was there with his " green pointer" to help me over the tough spots. You should know that I am 74 years old and tho I have climbed indoors for a few years, my stamina was not that of the youngsters who were there! Nonetheless, it was a great time! I highly recommend Valley to Summit, this being my 3 rd trip with them. They Rock!

Absolutely amazing professional guides!!…read more I hired this company to guide me through the winters treacherous water fall trails of Ricketts Glen that is normally closed off for hikers that don't have the explicitly specific required safety gear for winter hikes which this company provides. The guides were patient and helpful with the small group in getting gear on and going over all the safety equipment. They were never impatient with anyone and insanely kind. You could tell the guides truly enjoyed bringing everyone out to this amazing trail at Ricketts Glen State Park. I wasn't sure what to expect but OMG it was worth the money spent to have these guys/gals guide me through the trails. I took tons of pictures and was never rushed at all while taking in the views and photos. This company comes highly recommended amongst the hiking community even out of state.

One of the very first beautiful days of spring we decided to check out the 5 Mile Woods in Yardley…read more The main trail was blocked off and closed, but it appeared that the other trails still accessible. It was still very early in the season so the trees have not come into their full foliage, but a lot of lovely little spring flowers were popping up along the edges of the trails, the weather was warm. The wind was lovely and the sun was shining. The trails are in desperate need of repair. I am not one for actual built, walking paths through an alleged "Woods" A better name would have been 5 Mile Park. This place very much gave me the vibe of the song Big Yellow Taxi "they took all the trees and put em in a tree museum" the feel of the place was anything, but "woodsy" the entire area was built up with wooden planks and boardwalk style walking trails rather than what one would typically experience in the "Woods". Also, they do not allow dogs. Remember people we can't have dogs running about in the woods. (How absurd) we did encounter some wildlife, several skittering squirrels, and a lovely black snake met us as we crossed the bridge of the stream, I guess he too, was looking for his natural habitat. As the days begin to get longer, the temperatures start to rise and my yearning to be in the outdoors strengthens as these next few months unfold; I will be out and about walking trails and appreciating nature, but I don't think 5 Mile Woods will be where I will be doing it.

It seems dated, but is functional for its purpose The one thing I found annoying (and I've seen in no other non-private museum) is they RESTRICT ALL PHOTOS!!! I've seen places understandably restricted FLASH pics, but frankly this is a huge loss to the public and for education. This is my primary reason for the 3 star rating. Give is 4+ for allowing pics!!!

By all means you should come here. If you want to just exercise and enjoy a beautiful park along…read morethe Delaware river... Or stop in and learn a little about the significance of the area. There's also a gift shop where you can buy locally made items like freshly ground in flower as well as handmade soap and a little doll.

Honestly, I don't know why this place got such few stars? The four stars that I've assigned as well…read moredeserved. I visited on a weekday and perhaps that made all the difference in the world. My experience form beginning to end was fantastic. I think one thing that seems to bother most people is the BBQ lunch. The BBQ lunch was apart of my package and when I arrived they were just loading the buns to be taken out on the river. I'm getting a little ahead of myself here but you'll understand in a minute. When I arrived, there were already several eager adventurous folks checking in, buying waterproof items for sale, collecting their water rafts and some even already on the water. I checked in with my Groupon and as directed, I left my keys - collected my Kayak and proceeded to the bus. Please note, the rule is, everyone must wear a mask until you're actually on the water; great rule as it gets crowded in the shop as well as on the bus. It keeps everyone safe. I chose the kayak experience which was awesome but the real fun is in a tube. After my journey down the river, I immediately purchase another Groupon just so that I could come back and have a tubing experience. So, back to the BBQ lunch. By the time I paddles my way down (a few signs for the waters edge for direction) to the BBQ shack on the water, they were still setting up. I guess I paddle too fast. I decided to keep moseying down the river as I had already packed a lunch just in case after reading the reviews about the BBQ shack not being up and running. Oh well, next time I'll enjoy a burger. Again, this is the perfect mid week escape. The ride outside of NY is quick and there's plenty of parking. Although it says Delaware tubing it's actually located in New Jersey; well at least the border between the two. I would recommend going early and taking as much time as you like in a tube with family and friends. I would also recommend bringing children as they will develop a lifelong love of being on the water. I'm a big fan now and I can't wait to return in a few weeks. P.S. I was told by my bus driver, they offer a fall foliage experience where they only allow kayaks on the river.

Playwicki on Maple Avenue in Langhorne has 33 acres park land featuring well maintained facilities…read moreand equipment. It is clean, spacious and often less crowded than many parks. One main loop trail that is an easy hike through the woods and along the creek. My brother and I would spend hours there when we were young exploring the woods and wandering up the old railroad bridge. I come back often to remember those days, while I don't traverse up to the bridge a quiet walk along the creek is more my speed nowadays. A perfect place for contemplation and nature, a local gem.

This small community park on 2nd Street Pike, Upper Southampton, PA, was once the farmstead of the…read moreRichard Leedom family, whose people can be traced back to William Penn and the American Revolution. The farmhouse has been beautifully restored, and carriage house rebuilt into a spacious meeting room for use by groups willing to pay a modest fee to the association that maintains the property. Dedicated in 1975, the amenities are modest, but still offer room for walking trails, frisbee golf, and open fields for games and and overnight camping by local scout troops. There are BBQ pits for cooking and covered concrete pads for meals and organized activities. I spent a night in a tent with my son here when he was a Cub Scout. The park is named for Chief Tanamend (or Tammeny), the leader of the Turtle Clan of the Lenni Lenapi Native American tribe. It was he who made peace with William Penn at nearby Penn Treaty Park, just at the edge of Philadelphia on the Delaware River. Some called him a saint for his amiableness toward the early settlers in the late 17th Century. His life and death were celebrated on May 1st annually, first in Philly, and then in most of the original colonies. He has been forgotten by many, except those who know and honor the history of this area.

This is a very small park, but if you just want a quick jaunt into nature it's not bad…read more The parking situation is a bit confusing. There's two main parking lots, both of which seem to lead to large fields and picnic areas. However if you take a short walk behind the park offices you'll find that there are additional trails to hike along, but keep in mind none of these trails are very long. One plus is that this park is never all that crowded, so if you like solitude you'll have a good time. I've only ever come alone, but if you were to bring kids there's a playground for them and large fields to kick a ball around. This isn't a bad park, just not my favorite.
