What a great way to spend some time outdoors this winter with family or friends!

Ralph Stover State Park & Tohickon Valley County Park are getting an upgrade! We are working in partnership with Bucks County and Epaclimbers to get the trail system which runs throughout Tohickon Valley and Ralph Stover in the best possible shape! Numerous trail maintenance projects have taken place throughout the fall and we have entered our blazing and map creating portion of the project. Our newly blazed trail system will have 4 distinct trails (blue, yellow, white, and ...orange) of varying difficulty. Increased visitation and trail usage during the past year has made it clear that these trails hold an important value in our community. Let's continue to enjoy and protect this space by staying on marked trails and following leave no trace ethics.
