The Woods

Schnabels' Woods is located in upper Bucks County, Pennsylvania, just one mile north of Lake Nockamixon State Park. It is an easy one hour drive from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and a two hour drive from New York City. Both car trips are conveniently made via access to major highways.

There is a tremendous amount to do at Schnabels' Woods or, if you prefer, do nothing but relax. But either way, Schnabels' Woods and Bucks County has it all.

Enjoy the woods. Walking and hiking trails are in abundance through woods, fields and along the Tohickon Stream or the three ponds located on the property.  Canoe or kayak along the Tohickon Stream or take a swim in the stream during summer, skate during the winter.

The forest is beautiful; the mature trees consist of varieties of tall oaks, poplar, and hickory. Younger forested areas include eastern red cedar and silver maple. Spring reveals an abundance of dogwood blossoms, just as summer reveals a multitude of fireflies like diamonds in the night. The woods also reveal an ecosystem of gentle living things, such as deer, wild turkey, fox, mink and great blue heron. The creek will reveal still more such as bass, trout and other fish and creek life. Beautiful flora abounds, wildflowers of hundreds of varieties exist amid the woods and rolling meadows. We are in a microcosm, our own private nature preserve.
