Nockamixon State Park - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024) (2024)

We only took advantage of the large choice of well maintained hiking trails, but there is lots to do at this park. It was well worth a drive.

My husband and I spend part of our day just scoping the park out. We did not do any hiking or biking but it is a place that offers lots to do for all. We had lunch by the beautiful lake while watching the sail boats float by.It is a lovely park and we will be more prepared next time with our bikes and hiking shoes.

very large swimming pool in the heart of the state park. Separate area for toddlers with walk in beach like entrance and 3 different sprinklers, mushroom shaped and bucket spill types. Gradual deepening of pool to accommodate all children heights with roped areas and many lifeguards. Also a tube slide for children over 48 inches. Reasonable entry fees and great snack stand. There is a playground within walking distance to the pool. Grill areas outside pool area if you want to bring your own food and make a day of it. Some day camps come from 12-3 but the pook easily absorbs them without feeling crowded. I did not evaluate fishing boating or kayaking which can be done in the large lake.

Beautiful lake, boat rentals, fishing, enjoyed this park was very clean. Loved seeing all the butterflies that were around too. A nice place for a picnic or to relax.

Great place for a picnic and kayaking. We like the Hayco*ck or Tohickon entrance. Not as much large boat traffic as the main marina so better for kayaks.
Bring bread to feed the huge fish along the boat ramps at the main marina. Kids love it!!

I love this place! You can rent boats or bring your own. We have kayaked there several times. Nice peaceful place for picnics and fishing. Beautiful scenery lots of wildlife!

Good fishing and clean park. Plenty of parking and a lot of different places to set up to cast a rod. Some back roads should have a 4x4 but the basic park is great for just about everything

We love to take a walk on the many paved paths or the wooded trails within the state park. We always see wildlife whether it's a blue heron, a bald eagle or just common ducks. I love photography so it's perfect @

Love Lake Nockamixon. The lake is beautiful. Lots of wildlife, places to fish, places to launch kayaks, etc. Nice paved walking trail and miles of other trails.

We rented an “accessible” cabin at this park during a recent trip. We had reserved for four nights but cut short our stay and left after three nights. Although this is a beautiful park near Philadelphia the state's lack of maintenance is very evident. The cabin was so poorly maintained and dirty. Here are just a few of the issues we encountered: the refrigerator looked like something you might see in a bait shop—the exterior was rusty and the interior was filthy. The ceiling fan in the bathroom was almost completely clogged with dirt, lint, human hair and whatever else. The pan beneath the hot water heater also had an inch thick layer of the same filth.

The condition of this “accessible” cabin is an insult to everyone not just persons with physical limitations.
