Ringing Rocks Park

Address: Ringing Rocks Road, Upper Black Eddy
Admission: Free
Hours: Open daily

Summary: This 128-acre park features an unusual boulder field containing rocks that actually ring when struck. Bring a hammer. Ringing Rocks Park is home to Bucks County’s largest waterfall, which provides a beautiful backdrop for a picnic. The site is also a popular destination for hikers and mountain bikers willing to take to the woods unguided as there are few actual trails.
