On a clear day, the view from Bowman's Hill Tower encompasses a minimum 14 mile radius of the Delaware River Valley.
The two bridges you can see crossing the Delaware River are the New Hope-Lambertville bridge and the Route 202 bridge.

On a clear day, one can see to Trenton, New Jersey, and realize the magnitude and distance of the march Washington and his soldiers undertook in December of 1776.
Nice place to stroll around & learn about local flora. Visitors Center, picnic pavilion. Stone bridge was depression era work project.
