Description: 5,265-acre Lake Nockamixon state park is in the rolling hills of Bucks county. The state began purchasing property in 1961 and the park was later developed further by the Army Corps Of Engineers as part of a larger plan for the Delaware River basin. It became a park in 1965, but officially opened in 1973.
We will be hiking the approximately 5.2 mile Old Mill trail that takes us along beautiful Lake Nockamixon.The Old Mill trail is a hiking and equestrian trail that crosses a stream at the Old Mill pond and passes across the top of the stone dam breast. Hikers pass through a mature woodlot, pine plantations, and a loop walk that follows the lake shore. Portions of the trail are paved, but the majority is uneven dirt.

If it has recently snowed, footwear traction, like yak traxs or micro spikes, and/or poles are recommended for icy conditions. If it has recently rained, trails may be muddy. Bring water and snacks.
