A Natural Habitat


It’s time to embrace the great outdoors.

And at the Silver Lake Nature Center, the possibilities for exploration are endless. The Bristol-based center encompasses 235 acres of woodlands, lakes, marshes and meadows, including 4.5 miles of hiking trails. It is open year round, allowing nature enthusiasts a glimpse into beautiful Bucks County every day from dawn to dusk.

The Silver Lake Nature Center provides both preservation and education through its extensive programs and projects. Currently, there are 43 Pennsylvania Species of Special Concern being preserved on the property, ranging from a Magnolia Tripetala, an umbrella tree that is threatened and very rare in this state to the Potamogeton Pulcher, a heartleaf pondweed that is currently classified as endangered in Pennsylvania. Most of the trees and grasses within the Silver Lake Nature Center are native to the land.
