Get Out! For Wellness! with Wildlands Conservancy

Explore the trails, bird blinds, and bridges at Peace Valley Park. The North Branch of the Neshaminy Creek flows into Lake Galina here. The trails are mostly grassy and level with easy tread-way. We’ll be walking on a variety of surfaces, sometimes just a narrow path through fields. Trails can be wet at this time of year. There are a few short uphill sections.

At the end of the hike, we’ll enjoy the entertaining and educational Peace Valley Nature Center. Be sure to bring money for the great gift shop plus lots of nature books for young and old. The Nature Center has a fascinating display of Native American arrowheads and tools.

Appropriate for all ages. Wear sturdy shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Bring hiking poles or your walking stick. Wildlands will supply poles, too. Dogs are not allowed on the grassy trails. However, there is a nearby macadam trail where dogs on leash can walk and strollers/wheelchairs are welcome. You can bicycle here too. Bathrooms are in the Nature Center, which opens at 10 a.m.

This walk is free and is part of the Get Out For Wellness series, in partnership with Lehigh Valley Health Network. Please register online.
