Review:

Standing at about 518 acres in size, Quakertown Swamp is known as one of southeastern Pennsylvania’s largest inland wetlands. As you explore the area, be ready to find a plethora of plant and animal wildlife throughout the swamp’s thriving ecosystem including beavers, over 91 species of birds, and Eastern Pennsylvania's largest Great Blue Heron rookery. Quakertown Swamp is also well protected as it’s recognized as a Wild Plant Sanctuary as well as a crucial wetland by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. On top of its contributions to the surrounding wildlife, it also plays an important role to the neighboring communities as it stores water during floods and absorbs pollutants from the water. Before visiting, be sure to check out their self-guided tour and birding guide, both of which are available on their website. Phone: 215-345-7020
