Nockamixon State Park
The 5,286-acre Nockamixon State Park is in the rolling hills of scenic Bucks County, close enough to Philadelphia for a day trip, but far enough away for a vacation.
Tohickon Creek, Three Mile Run, and Haycock Run feed the 1,450-acre Lake Nockamixon, which is a rest stop for migrating waterfowl and a destination for boaters and anglers.
Visitors can stay the night in a cabin or enjoy the many activities of the park for the day. Popular activities are picnicking, swimming in the pool, hiking, biking, disc golfing, hunting, fishing, and boating.

The park is open every day of the year, sunrise to sunset. Day use areas close at dusk.

Fishing and boating is permitted 24 hours-a-day in designated areas. Some park areas are closed to vehicles in the winter. Contact the park office for facility seasons and hours.
