Lake Towhee Park, Park in Haycock Township, Pennsylvania, US
Lake Towhee Park is a county park in Haycock Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, built around a lake and surrounded by woods, open fields, picnic areas, and walking trails. The lake sits at the center of the grounds and is large enough for fishing and small non-motorized boats.
The land around the lake has been part of the rural landscape of Bucks County for generations, used by local communities as an outdoor gathering spot long before the park was formally created. It was later developed by the county into a managed public space to preserve access to nature for residents of the region.
The towhee is a small bird native to North America, and the park takes its name from this local species. Visitors who walk quietly along the shore or through the wooded areas may spot one moving through the low brush.
The park has no entrance fee and is open to visitors of all ages throughout most of the year. Covered pavilions can be reserved in advance for group gatherings, which is worth planning ahead if you are visiting with a large group.
Although the park is mainly known as a day trip destination, it also allows overnight camping, which many visitors do not realize when they first arrive. This makes it one of the few county parks in the area where you can stay for more than a single afternoon.
