Uhlerstown Covered Bridge in Erwinna is just one of about 12 renowned historical covered bridges along the scenic backroads of Pennylvania. Built in 1832 - this oak bridge is the only one over the former Delaware Canal. Take the Covered Bridge Tour in Bucks County and come upon amazing red and white covered bridges which beckon you to simply drive through. Suggest video taping the experience to live over and over again.

What a unique place. If you have young kids be prepared for at least an hour of climbing around a boulder field banging on rocks with a hammer (don't forget to bring your own). Many boulders ring when you hit them, and climbing from rock to rock to found the different sounds entertained my boys (6 and 8) for quite a while. When you get tired, find a flat boulder and enjoy the snacks you brought along (you did bring snacks, right?). After you should follow the short trail down to the waterfall for more boulder hopping fun. Get there early as the parking lot fills up. Better to go on a non-weekend if you can.

This (free) State Park is unique because of what it offers for visitors, outdoors experiences like: hiking or biking along the long flat towpath, stopping at spots along the river and skipping stones. The towpath leads thru quaint small towns, farm lands and some forests. Great to be on the towpath with families doing things together. Stop and buy ice cream or drink at a few spots along the way. You can even connect to the New Jersey side canal trails. Delaware Canal state park also has a section in Upper Black Eddy named the Giving Pond. Not too many people know of this area. It has a lake of about 100 acres, remote peaceful picnic areas and a few trails that connect with the towpath as well. It’s a great spot for fishing, canoeing and kayaking. There is also some river access but you need to cross a major roadway. Be careful when crossing, traffic moves very fast. There is still a little bit of nature in the area, beaver, birds, snake, deer, eagles, skunk, weasel, turtles and others. There are also some very good environmental and fun activity programs put on by park’s environmental educators for this area and other sections along the canal. The Delaware Canal State Park is usually well maintained and picnic areas clean, but at some spots the towpath can get over grown with brush and some areas have some trash issues because of goofball, careless, and lazy park users and some property neighbors. Rangers seem to do a pretty good job all around. They are friendly and try to keep people following the rules, which is good for all users. But with such a long park they are hardly seen and I think the park could use a few more to keep on top of things and in case of emergencies with hikers, walkers, bikers and kids. There is great historical value to the park with all the canal locks, bridges and lock tender houses. There is historical information related to nearby or adjacent properties. Washington Crossing Historical Park, New Hope, Easton, Yardley, Bristol, Raubsville and other areas. Maybe you will see a mule or two or three (art statues) along the towpath. Overall a great place to experience. Try to see all 60 miles if you can. Each mile seems a little different from the next and then seems different with the change in seasons. Maybe walk just a small section in the evening before dusk with a close friend or the kids. . I have been to this park many times over last 7 years or so. Mostly all good experiences.
