Emily's #BucksCountyMoment: Tohickon Park
"There are certain expectations of a creek; you expect a small hike through the woods, eventually stumbling upon a trickle of water where you turn over rocks to find some small crawling things. Tohickon is different. You start the long walk down from a moss-covered pavilion and wind through paths lining grassy fields and entering dense forests. All the vegetation glows bright green and there is a…

"For the past 10 years or so I have ventured to the beautiful Neshaminy State Park to witness the annual Civil War Reenactment extravaganza.

I always tell everyone (proudly!) that I'm from Bucks County! I live in Morrisville & the canal towpath is one of my favorite places in the World. This shot was taken on the towpath behind the Delaware Canal service building (nearby the Yardley Boat Launch.) A goal of mine is to see the entire D&R towpath as soon as possible!

I learned a few years ago that my great grandfather led the mules for his father's canal boat as a child. This fueled my interest in the canal; the natural beauty doesn't hurt. The…

The day this photo was taken, my husband and I decided to bring our four children out to play wiffle ball in one of the fields next to the lake. During a break, we took a walk on one of the paths, and came across this amazingly peaceful setting. "Peace Valley" definitely lived up to its name that afternoon…

We were very excited to see the sun shining and the snow melting on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, so we decided to take a walk on the trail around Lake Galena. The path was still very slushy and our feet got very wet and muddy, but it was all worth it to get some fresh air and clear our heads knowing that spring is right around the corner! ~Tim S.

It was a beautiful summer afternoon when my sister-in-law (a former Bucks County resident) was visiting from Houston, TX. We decided to go into New Hope and Peddler's Village for an afternoon of shopping, lunch, and scenery. One of our stops included Bowman's Tower. It was exciting to climb the tower and take in the amazing views. You can't help but think about George Washington while you are…
