Nockamixon State Park

Pennsylvania knows how to attract vacationing families, and Nockamixon State Park is no exception. This huge wilderness area boasts a 1,450-acre lake and a huge swimming pool complex with two slides. It’s close enough to Philly to make a day of it and far enough away to be an awesome extended vacation. Rent one of the cabins perched on the lake shore and get right to it. Hiking, biking, fishing, horseback riding, and disc golf are just a few of the outdoor opportunities that await you in this recreational wonderland. Birdwatcher bonus—Nockamixon Lake is a rest stop for migrating waterfowl in the spring and fall.
