About

Ralph Stover State Park encompasses 45 acres along Tohickon Creek in Plumstead Township, Bucks County. The park serves as a day-use recreation area with no overnight camping facilities. Tohickon Creek flows through the park, creating scenic picnic areas and providing opportunities for fishing and whitewater boating, particularly during scheduled water releases from Lake Nockamixon in late March and early November when the creek becomes a Class 3-4 whitewater destination. The park is divided into two sections. The main area features shaded picnic facilities along the creek with tables, three reservable pavilions, drinking water, comfort stations, and a playground. The High Rocks section offers a dramatic overlook of Tohickon Creek and serves as one of Pennsylvania's three state-run rock climbing areas, attracting climbers to its challenging cliff faces. The park operates under a carry-in/carry-out trash disposal program with no on-site trash collection or recycling facilities. Three day-use pavilions can be reserved through the Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system. While Ralph Stover State Park itself does not offer camping, the adjacent Tohickon Valley Park operated by Bucks County provides tent and trailer camping facilities nearby.
