2015 Fun on a Lake

Lake Nockamixon

Bucks County has plenty of gorgeous to go around thanks to destinations like the nearly 1,500-acre lake — all shimmering and tree-lined — in Nockamixon State Park. There are six public launching areas, which means this is a windsurfer’s, paddle boarder’s, kayaker’s and boater’s dream. (Much of the needed gear is available to rent on-site for fair prices.)
