Neshaminy State Park is along the Delaware River in lower Bucks County. The park takes its name from Neshaminy Creek, which joins the Delaware at this point. The park measures 330.17 acres. The picnic areas and swimming pools are the most popular park attractions. Boating access to the Delaware River is provided at the marina use area. Can you feel the ocean’s tides in Pennsylvania? You can at Neshaminy State Park. Waves won’t knock you down, but if you watch the river, you’ll see it rise or fall an inch a minute. Even though the river flows another 116 miles from here to the ocean, you’re at sea level. When the tide comes in at a New Jersey beach, the water rises here also. Because tides affect this part of the river, it’s called an estuary. The Neshaminy freshwater estuary is a unique place. Plants and animals from two worlds meet here, some from the ocean and some from upstream headwaters.
