Bucks Co. Park Named One Of PA’s Best Fall Foliage Areas

WASHINGTON CROSSING, PA — Pennsylvania is known far and wide for its fall foliage, and Bucks County residents don’t have to travel far to visit one of the state's best areas to view the changing of the seasons, according to a recent ranking.

VisitPA, the state’s official tourism website, named Washington Crossing Historic Park as one of “10 Amazing Places to View Fall Foliage,” thanks to its historic sites, wildflower areas and nature trails.

VisitPA’s “Happy Traveler” guide called the park “an excellent place to discover the October foliage” in Bucks County. The website encourages people to climb the 125-foot Bowman’s Hill Tower to get a 14-mile panoramic view of the county.

“Guests are sure to enjoy this excellent ‘bird’s-eye view’ atop a grand observation tower that offers an expansive view of the Delaware River and the foliage surrounding the region in October,” according to the ranking.

Located in the southern zone, fall foliage in Washington Crossing Historic Park is expected to peak in late October.

VisitPA’s list of best places to view fall foliage also includes Big Pocono State Park in Tannersville, Rothrock State Forest in State College, the Gettysburg National Military Park, Pine Creek Gorge in Wellsboro and several parks in the Pittsburgh area.
