Fall Foliage in Bucks County

The leaves are starting to turn their fall colors. While we are not anywhere near a full fledged display, there is some color to be seen.

While it's nice to be able to go to the mountains for a weekend, a lot of us just don't have the time. You can experience the fall colors with a day trip in Bucks County.

Some suggestions are:

• Take River Road (route 32) north from New Hope up to about Upper Black Eddy. There are places where you can pull over near the canal.
• Visit one of the Bucks County Parks (State or County). The parks with lakes can be especially beautiful with the fall foliage.
• Visit the town of New Hope or Peddler's Village in Lahaska when the foliage is in full color.
• Get a good map or trust your GPS and take a leisurely ride through the back roads, perhaps checking out some of the covered bridges in the area.
• Take a train ride from New Hope.

Bucks County Covered Bridges Festival - June 9th and 10th

Corrected Dates -
June 9th and 10th

This is a correction to the previously posted date. The festival will be THIS weekend.. June 9th and 10th, 2007. It looks like we will have decent weather. The heat wave forecast for Friday should be over by Friday night leaving us with a beautiful weekend.

This isn't just a 'drive around and see a couple of bridges' event. They are offering a whole range of activities including tours, bands, pony rides, magic, juggling, food and even the Phillies Ballgirls.

Check out our reviews and listings of dining in the area at http://www.bucksviews.com/Destinations/DiningReviews.htm. Although, you might just want to take advantage of the food at the festival.

Disgusting Behaviour

This is really sad.. The bridges are a beautiful part of our rural landscape. Why anyone would want to commit this type of barbarism is unfathomable.

There are technologies to fireproof the bridges. Hopefully Penndot or a private corporation will provide funding to do so. In the meantime, it's nice to know that those responsible for the Knecht's bridge fire got jail time and hefty fines. Kudos to the prosecutors...

Arsonists once again strike at a Bucks covered bridge : The Morning Call Online: "COVERED BRIDGE was damaged when someone tried to burn it down by setting hay bales on fire."
