With scenic walking trails, an outdoor classroom, day camps and a small indoor animal habitat, Briar Bush is a great spot for small children, couples on a date, or anyone looking for a brief respite from the urgency of the modern world. With free admission for locals and a small fee for out-of-towners, the preserve is accessible to all patrons provided that they are able to walk down some wooded trails that circle through the admittedly short walking routes. The centerpiece of the trails is a picturesque, secluded pond with benches for sitting and an interactive sign with information on the local fauna and flora. The indoor animal habitat has a small gift shop, pamphlets on upcoming events and information on other parks in the area, and several interesting animals such as a blind possum named Odin, a bearded lizard named Karl, and several other unique turtles and reptiles. All of Briar Bush can be walked through in an hour or so, but the low admission, interactive nature events and scenic walking trails will have you wanting to return again soon.

Yelp has this listing improperly named. As usual, when I submitted a change to its correct name,…read moreMusser Scout Reservation, Yelp trolls refused to correct it. FYI, the correct name is Musser Scout Reservation. Musser Scout Reservation is a BSA designated scout camp for Cradle of Liberty Council scouting. This facility includes Camp Hart, Camp Garrison, and Camp Delmont in 1400 acres of MontCo along Unami Creek. My Cub Scout has visited for the Musser FallFest two seasons. Many Boy Scouts volunteer to run the different activity stations, and as teens themselves, they do a good job, but teens handling younger kids all day can be tiring for them and the end result can be hit or miss. Overall they do a good job and keep the kids stimulated. The first year our pack had everyone go separately according to their own schedules. I do not recommend doing FallFest alone. When you're not with a pack it's really up to parents to wedge their kid in edgewise at activity stations, and we encountered other packs who were pushy, cut lines, and selfishly commandeered ridiculous amounts of time on the popular slingshot (yuk!) activity, while others (like us) just needed 3 minutes to complete the requirement and move on. It's sad and disappointing when scout leaders themselves have zero comprehension of Scout Law or Scout Oath! Going with a pack (or as many other kids you know as possible) seems to be how the FallFest is best designed to process people, and it's a lot more fun for the kids to achieve these tasks with friends. We are in a different pack this year, and going as a group made the experience SOOO much better! The facilities themselves are consistent with Camp Hidden Falls (Poconos) and Chester Heights Camp Meeting (Glen Mills), which I frequented as a Brownie and Girl Scout decades ago. Musser facilities, like state parks and other scout camps, are a bit worn by the elements, and run down here and there from rugged use and lack of funding and/or (volunteer) staffing to keep up repairs. I noticed a bit of litter in places which was sad for a Cub Scout event, but Musser's facilities are overall in good outdoorsy shape. For our entry fee ($10 per adult/$25 per scout), and the fact that the staff is all volunteer, I felt the value was okay. The day includes a cafeteria lunch of pretty standard camp cafeteria food (hotdogs/hamburgers, potato salad, tossed salad, fruit, chips, granola bars, Oreos, and coffee, tea, water, fruit punch, etc for beverages). It includes all activities, including the popular archery, slingshot and bb (for kids older than Lion rank). My scout got to take home a carved pumpkin, a badge type piece of leather tooling work, and one craft. Oddly they kept his other craft made with a clothespin so they could reuse the clothespin--can they not spare a $0.10 clothespin? So it was overall a good value but some odd quirks. Last, having grown up Quaker, I'm wholly against guns so we do not participate in the bb activity. They have no problem issuing the FallFest patch as long as you complete most of the activities.

There is also FallFest which is a great time to come experience some of the activities that take place during the Summer.

There is STEM, Scoutcraft, Handicraft, Boating, fishing, Native American area, a pool, a bouldering wall, a nature center, slingshot, BBs and an Archery range. This is Camp Hart along with Camp Garrison and Camp Delmont. All located on the Musser Scout Reservation in Pennsburg, PA. I spent 8 Summers as a resident adult leader with kids from K-5. The kids love this camp! There really is something for everyone here! My son loved boating, fishing, swimming, Archery, BB shooting....pretty much all of it. I had so much fun spending the time with him that I continued attending 3 years after he "aged out". The staff is always friendly. The food they serve has gotten much better over the years, 2019 being the best of all the years I was there (Chef Chris). You just have to keep in mind that he has to follow guidelines given to him for family friendly, nutritious foods. I will greatly miss my time at Camp Hart.

Had a great day is past weekend on the water! It was my first time white water rafting instead of…read moreour usual white water tubing. Whitewater Challengers is very organized and they are constantly trying to maintain that organization, even on the water. From parking your vehicle; all the staff members directing you throughout the property, checking in with different color papers and boarding cards, and even on the bus ride back... it was very well organized. All guides are clearly knowledgable about the river and everyone had a great attitude; everyone really appreciated that. It's obvious the guides genuinely care about making this a great experience for their guests. Our group engaged with Jen and Rober. They had great personalities and clearly love what they do. If you are concerned about riding the river with children or with older family members then have no fear! The rapids were fun but I wish they were a little more rough/busy. Certainly not challenging for families with children; there was a younger Boy Scout group on our trip and they all handled it with ease. Go ahead and book that weekend river trip with the fam! My only complaints were the "hurry up and wait" of the whole journey. I understand we are traveling with a big group and we are trying to stay together but we stopped a total of 5-6 times including lunch. It felt like we only got about 15-20 mins of solid rafting then we had to wait 15-20mins for the rest of the group to catch up. Kind of annoying. And the claim that these are class 2-3 rapids may be factually true but I would consider these class 1 maybe class 2 on a great day. With the stopping and waiting and calm water for almost half the trip, I can see why some people may be disappointed. There were about 15-20 rafts in our group. Overall, this was a solid weekend activity and it deserves 5 stars. With all the organization and very friendly river guides it was a great day. The staff can clearly handle any group and they know the river like the back of their hand. Please take all the reviews into consideration and consider shortening the amount of stops on the river to corral the group; there's got to be another way that is also safe. Thanks, hope to return again soon!

What a disaster. I have gone twice with Girl Scouts and again with boy scouts. My first adventure…read morewith the girl scouts was generally enjoyable. Nothing notable to report but not overwhelmingly great either. The last time I went with the Boy Scouts was one of the worst weekends of my life. There was some river guide who named himself "zombie". He has the worst chip on this shoulder ever. First, he got nearly naked on the bus clearly wanting to show off all his tattoos. Inappropriate in front of a bunch of kids. If he was discreet then fine. He was showboating and it was gross. Then while on the river, I splashed with a paddle. It is indeed against the rules and I was wrong for that. However I knew I messed up the second I did it. A reminder would have been sufficient. Oh no. Zombie came over immediately and berated me loudly in front of everyone (including the kids). Yikes. I said "understood, I'm sorry". He then continued saying he was "gonna hike me out of 'his' trip" if he saw it again. What? He was going to evict me from the boat in the middle of nowhere and walk me home? Alone? What the hell is wrong with this guy? I don't care how capable or good of a river guide he is. If he's going to talk to customers who paid for the trip like garbage, then he doesn't belong there (especially around kids). Major jerk. Then we camped there overnight. Some camp site decided to have a rager party. Like thumping music turned up to full volume that could be heard for miles. No one came to quiet them down. At midnight I had to walk over myself and ask if they could please let us sleep. They said no and it kept going. I called the campsite phone # and got a voicemail. No one was there to help. Needless to say we didn't sleep at all. Just a generally unpleasant experience. You need to get rid of this zombie person. You can't call yourself "zombie" then demand to be taken seriously. Give me a break. You need someone who can patrol the campsite and keep order and the campers safe. Don't go here and waste your money.

The Trip Leader, a man named Jake, openly swore. The staff dissed the customers. I understand that their needs to be an evaluation before a river trip. This wasn't an evaluation of skills. The staff were making fun of the customers. The Lehigh River is a gem. Just find another company to explore it with.

Big barn fire to hang around and chat. We were a group of 7 adults and had no problem all being in one boat. The family ride was very easy and controllable with few places to get hungup ( rocks, trees or underpass) There are guides in front, back and throughout to keep everyone safe and moving along. Overall we had a really good time rafting, paddling and having water fights with other boaters and the pirates. Watershoes a must, bring water to drink and water guns or canons to defend yourself. The lunch was all you could eat- hot dogs, PBJ's, chips, salad and water or lemonade. Can't wait to try a more challenging adventure next time. Enjoy!
