Beautiful park! I brought my daughter and grandson here to go fishing from shore and we had a great time. Only negative thing was the restroom. The toilet paper dispenser was the dumbest design I've ever seen in my life.

Peace Valley Park has one of the best walking paths in the area. It completely circumnavigates the lake with a nice little stroll through the Nature Center. I highly recommend it. Also a great place to people-watch and to meet people with common interests (walking running biking dogs Etc)

Why is the lake so low? It’s just like a stream by the bridge. All the sides are low too. We have bald eagles now. They need to fish. We have never had more rain. It seems you must have purposefully drained it this low.

Sharon Kachel | Sep 28, 2019
Kari Brookhouse | Sep 28, 2019

Check to see if its tidal, I know tbe Delaware is tidal as far up as Trenton in NJ

Why is the driveway by the dam so hazardous?! It’s like a cavern. If someone flips their car over, who is liable? Yes, it’s that bad!

Sharon Kachel | Sep 28, 2019
Miles Roux | Sep 28, 2019

Hopefully, people observe the posted speed limit which should prevent flipping a car.

Do you need a launch permit for a raft?

Jeff Covaleski | Sep 28, 2018
Frank Arena | Sep 28, 2018

Not positive, but I believe so. I purchased one for my Kayak from the boat rental center ($12 bucks resident, $25 non resident) and it's good until sometime next spring. I believe their sign says any watercraft require a permit. Also, it is a Bucks County specific permit; as far as I understand a PA boat permit won't do you any good. Hope that helps and happy rowing.

Do they have paddle boards for rent? They didn't last year. Hoping they do this year. Thanks.
