About this adventure
Peace Valley Park surrounds the 365-acre Lake Galena in historic Bucks County, providing one of the area's finest winter walking escapes. A smooth 6-mile paved blacktop hike-and-bike path circles the entire perimeter of the lake, offering completely flat, stroller-friendly walking with expansive views of wintering geese, ducks, and soaring eagles. At the northeast corner of the park, families can warm up inside the solar-heated Peace Valley Nature Center. The center features hands-on discovery exhibits and a heated indoor bird blind where children can sit quietly inches away from wild woodpeckers, cardinals, and chickadees at winter feeders. Admission and parking are free.
