Romantic Places to Pop That Question on Valentine's Day

It's that time of year again. Perhaps you're looking forward to a lifetime of bliss if ONLY you could figure out the perfect place to ask that burning question.

Patch makes it ridiculously easy for you to find the perfect place to propose.

Consider our list and feel free to add your own suggestions to ours!

1. Lock Ridge Park

This gets my vote for the most romantic place in the Lower Macungie Patch. Go when the bluebells (grape hyacinth) are in bloom -- mid-April-ish -- for the best color, but go any time for the sheer elegance of the surroundings. There's also a stone shell of a building on the grounds that looks like an open-air chapel. Extremely inspiring.

2. Illick's Mill Park

One of the best features of this Bethlehem park is the pavillion that juts out over the Monocacy Creek. You can watch the ducks and lose yourselves in the sound of the water as it rushes over the falls.

3. Covered Bridge Park

Inspired by history and tradition, this is a place you can start some of your own. With a backdrop of two bridges -- Guth and Wehr's -- there's hardly a prettier place around, and in the summer you can catch some concerts here. But if you're proposing now, this time of year is a good time to find some privacy. Very romantic.

4. Detwiller Plaza

This lovely triangle deep in the heart of beautiful downtown Hellertown has a fountain that adds to the mood. It's also a great place to make a wish. The clock tower can provide confirmation of the exact hour of your proposal -- if you remember to look at it! There is also a music component to the tower. "Moon River" is among its repertoire.

5. Jacobsburg State Park

You'll find whatever you're looking for here: water, extremely romantic scenery and historic buildings are all included. The Bushkill Creek is accessible from several spots along the trails. The Boulton Historic Site's homes offer a quaint outdoorsy backdrop, too, as the two of you look to your future.
