Tulpehocken Creek

Highlight • River

Tulpehocken Creek is a tributary of the Schuylkill River.

While there are no bathrooms or picnic tables, it is a great spot for a break to take in the scenic and tranquil waters. The creek is open to fishing, so it is not uncommon to share the space with others trying their luck to catch something.
