Should rocks ring? Are you looking to look to learn a little bit about local geologic history? Are you in need of an autumnal visit to a woods or a waterfall? If any of the above sounds interesting, please join us at Ringing Rocks Park in Bucks County for a geology walk, some geologic history and context, and a pleasant morning of tapping rocks with a hard object to hear them ring.

Our educator Tristan will provide geologic context for the area and lead a short tour of select geologic features.
