A fall visit 10/5/24 was enjoyable for a few hours to easily walk clean & well maintained trails. Loved the pond turtles and frogs!
Butterflies were still around.

The garden center has indigenous PA plants reasonably priced.
Nice gift shop!

We look forward to returning in the spring & summer for a different prospective to their gardens.
The staff are kind and helpful.

The entrance was unassuming so I was pleasantly surprised when the preserve turned into the most beautiful garden. There were dragonflies and butterflies everywhere, like something out of a Disney movie!

I've been going to Bowmans Tower for years, and there's a beautiful park just at its basin.
The sheep is obvious but what you don't see here is the history. And the trees are majestic in height, some of the biggest, tallest trees I've seen around here. You can find this and other beautiful spaces all along the Delaware. So many nice places to see and visit, and one beautiful drive on a gorgeous Sunday.

I visited on a Monday in mid-May, hoping to catch the azaleas. Unfortunately I was too late for most but did get to see one still blooming. There is lots to see if you keep an eye out - various bird species, butterflies, bees, turtles, snails, and rodents. The trails are clean and well marked. When paying admission you will get a map that indicates the difficulty level of each trail. I found most to be easy, some have tree roots and stairs while others are flat and accessible. It was very peaceful and quiet as I wandered the Marsh Marigold, Aster, Audubon, Gentian, Azalea, Bucks County and Parry trails to the north and west of the visitor's center. I did not get to visit Penns Woods or the meadow trails but plan to come back later in the summer to see what's blooming. I recommend wearing comfortable sneakers and bringing bug spray and sunscreen. Most of the trails are well shaded and there are plenty of benches throughout but the meadow and some spots are in full sun.

What a beautiful place! This is a unique property with over 700 varieties of native plants. There is a native plant nursery that has great prices and knowledgeable people to assist in choosing the right flower, tree or shrub for your home. It is fun to wander the trails and find all the flowers in bloom. The ponds come alive with frogs, turtles and dragonflies during the warmer months. There are many birds on the property and they even open early during Spring migration for birders. There are a some child friendly spots for the kids to explore and it's a wonderful place to learn about nature. I highly recommend a visit to this special destination.

A great year-round nature area with so many great attributes. There is a fee to enter unless a member although worth it for the trails and educational value. The visitor center has restrooms, water, books for sale and helpful people. There is a defect amount of parking even if you need to pull your car to the side of the entry road. Trails are well-marked and often covered in crushed stone or wood chips. Highly varied areas from open to shaded to waterside. Many signs with information about plant and animal life. Also many structures to view or rest underneath. Definitely worth a visit!
