Lake Towhee Park, County park in Haycock Township, Pennsylvania, United States.
Lake Towhee Park is a 549-acre county park in the village of Applebachsville, Haycock Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. At its centre lies a 50-acre lake formed by a dam on Kimples Creek, with a playground, ball field, picnic areas and camping areas on the surrounding grounds. Swimming is not permitted in the lake.
The park sits in an area that became part of Haycock Township when it was established in 1763 as surrounding communities defined their borders. The land was later developed into a public recreation area for the growing population.
The lake's name comes from the towhee bird, and the park is a base for picnicking, ball games and camping rather than swimming, which is not permitted. Volunteer groups organize work days to pull invasive water chestnuts from the water.
