The Bradford reservoir is a nice spot to get outside. You can enjoy fishing, walking, birding and biking here. There don’t seem to be any amenities, bathrooms or picnic areas but there are numerous trash cans around as well as benches along a paved trail.

Great, open space. Well paved connecting to lower Nike park on Folly road making for a nice walk. You wind through the Nishamany Creek woods half of the way. Avoid during rains. Overall great, easy trail to enjoy!

Good park for taking your dog on a walk. The lake is overrun with aquatic plants which would make for some tough fishing. There are few places to sit and it appears that the grounds are out of shape. Access to the parking area is via Bradford Road off of County Line Road. It's easy to miss so stay vigilant. Overall, nice park for a short visit but I wouldn't plan my whole day around it.

About Bradford Reservoir

Nestled amidst the natural beauty of Bucks County, the quaint but charming Bradford Reservoir offers a delightful escape for those seeking serenity and recreation. Though not a sprawling water body, this reservoir is perfect for those in search of a rustic, natural setting. The paved trails surrounding the reservoir provide an inviting path for walkers, bikers, and dog owners to enjoy a leisurely stroll through nature. The lush foliage and abundance of birdlife make it an excellent spot for bird watchers. While the reservoir itself is overrun with aquatic plants, which poses a challenge for avid anglers, the overall experience at Bradford is enhanced by the combination of well-maintained paths and its connection to the scenic Lower Nike Park via a well-paved trail. The seamless walk through the Nishamany Creek woods offers a peaceful retreat, though visitors should steer clear on rainy days due to potential floods. It's important to note that the park has few amenities—and you might have a hard time spotting the actual water due to the dense vegetation—but it compensates with numerous trash cans and strategically placed benches that offer respite during your walk. Visitors can access Bradford Reservoir via Bradford Road, coming off County Line Road. However, this turn can be easy to miss, so maintain vigilance on the road. Though not a destination for a full-day adventure, Bradford provides a nice opportunity for a bit of fresh air and exercise. This tucked-away oasis might lack traditional amenities, yet its tranquil paths and natural beauty promise a refreshing experience for short visits or a peaceful outdoor break.
