Bucks County Park Ranks Next To Stonehenge On 'Supernatural Places' List: 2016 In Review

This story first appeared on Patch in October 2016.

A mystical Bucks County park has been ranked on a new Travel Channel list of supernatural places that also includes Stonehenge.

The 128-acre Ringing Rocks Park, located in Upper Black Eddy, is included as one of 7 Supernatural Places Around the World published recently by the Travel Channel.

"These spots are a trip in more ways than one," the channel's website says, including the local park among world-famous supernatural places like Stonehenge, Death Valley National Park and Hawaii's Big Island.

Here's what the Travel Channel has to say about Ringing Rocks:

Bring a hammer to Pennsylvania’s Ringing Rocks Park, so you can tap the rocks and boulders piled 10 feet high in this seven-acre field. Most of them will reward you with bell-like tones. Some think the sounds are supernatural, and scientists admit they’re still scratching their heads for an explanation. Although all the stones are made of the same stuff—primarily iron and hard minerals-- only about a third of them vibrate and ring when struck. Geologists suspect the rings may be produced by stresses in the rocks. While they continue their research, local musicians sometimes show up in the park to “play” the stones and jam.

If you've never been to Ringing Rocks, here's the deal: it's open to the public from 8 a.m. to sunset. Wear proper footwear and, as the Travel Channel recommends, bring a hammer.

The county-owned park also features Bucks County's largest waterfall. Picnic tables are available, as well as free parking. The park is located on Ringing Rocks Road in Upper Black Eddy.
