      Several miles of mixed, twisty, sometimes technical forested trails and cross country. This area is bottom land with a mix of mature growth forest and new (20 year) saplings over fallow former grain and nursery fields. Distinct East and West sections are separated by a large spring fed pond and swamp that are joined by an earthen bridge. It is fairly flat with some small elevation change. Most sections are loop-able with some of the south trails being effectively single-ended. Some technical challenges like trail log-overs, rooty sections, some water crossings and boggy areas in poor drainage sections. Can get overgrown in some sections in the spring by stinging nettle then in the summer/fall with multi-flora rose, mile-a-minute and briars. There is also a large deer population that can spook easily. Small jump/free-ride section near trail entrance. Area is owned by Bucks County Parks and Recreation and was recently blazed, however the trails are not maintained by them. Area is shared and there are occasional hikers. Main access is from the D&L Canal tow path, parking at the Black Rock Road lot.
      Primary Trail Type: Cross-Country
