When people hear “Bucks County,” they may automatically think New Hope, maybe Doylestown, but that’s about it. While those may be two of the most-frequented spots in Central Bucks, it’s easy to forget that the county has a variety of activities for every age. No matter which season, there is a diversity of parks, recreational areas, lakes, rivers and small towns where you can slowly unwind or vigorously explore.

River Road. Not only is there one in probably every state, but more than one in many states. Our River Road (PA Route 32) is also part of a National River Scenic Highway that runs along the Delaware River, cutting into New Jersey and back, and allowing for nice views of the river and opposite banks. Don’t forget that there are miles of scenic walks and rides to experience in Delaware Canal State Park (state.pa.us/stateparks/findapark/delawarecanal/). There are numerous access points along River Road. For a lovely, self-designed day along the river and canal, here are some places to put at the top of your list.
