Welcome to Silver Lake Nature Center
Visiting Silver Lake Nature Center, a 253-acre "natural
treasure" in the heart of the southern portion of Bucks County, is an experience
to be savored, not rushed. It's a place where lush foliage, accessible
wetlands and rich woodlands abound. Where rare and threatened animal and
plant species like the Red Belly Turtle, Southern Leopard Frog, and the
Maryland Meadow Beauty find refuge and flourish peacefully. Where people
of all ages can explore and enjoy a special part of our world. Facilities Grounds
The Silver Lake Nature Center is part of the Bucks County Park System and is operated by the Department of Parks and Recreation. The center is located in the highly populated southern portion of Bucks County. Major highways and public transportation easily access the Center, a 235-acre complex within the Mill Creek Valley Park system. The lake is the terminus of the Mill Creek, Queen Anne Creek and the Black Ditch Creek Watershed. Because it contains the best protected Coastal Plain woodland remaining in the state, the Center is unique to Pennsylvania as well as Bucks County.
