Marsh Creek State Park — Attraction in Upper Uwchlan Township

If you haven’t been there yet, I would recommend everyone to visit on weekends.

Marsh Creek State Park is a park with water surrounding the road and trees. You can see beautiful scenery from the streets. Marsh Creek Sixth Grade Center—which was my previous school—is located a mile away from the park.

It is a perfect spot for a picnic. There are many activities that occur in the place like boating, fishing, and using the place as a picnic resort. The most important part about the place is that we get a nice view or a nice picture during sunrise and sunset. I enjoy the scene mostly during summer when nobody is around me and I close my eyes, feel a soft breeze of the air and hear a little sound of water waves. In summer the soft breeze was so pleasant; anyone could fall asleep if they lay their head down.

Most of the staff provide a good service for people. They provide restrooms, places to prepare food like grilling chickens. There were staff around the water to check whether no one is making the water dirty or everyone is following the rules. There were staff also for emergencies. There were life guards and police.

There is nothing to pay if you want to visit the place but if you want to ride or rent a boat you have to pay. There is nothing to worry about, the cost of the rent starts from $10-$100. It depends which boat you want to rent and how much time. You are also allowed to bring boats from home.

The water is nice and clean. It’s the best place to go for a walk or practicing some exercise. It’s a place full of fresh air, water and food.

The area of the place is huge and large with a total area of the park is 1784 acres and the lake is about 535 acres. The lake has an average depth of 43 feet.

There were some differences about visiting the place in winter and summer. In winter we cannot do any kind of activities in the water like boat riding or fishing, and the other difference is in winter sometimes we don't get a clear sky and so we can’t see the sunrise or sunset.

I would recommend everyone to visit the place on weekends. I would also recommend everyone to spend their time with family, friends and peers in these kinds of places.

I would also tell everyone to visit this place on a nice pleasant day when the temperature will be moderate, not too hot, not too cold and also to avoid going to the place when the sky will be cloudy and when there will be a chance of rain because if you visit at that kind of time then you will not be able to get the nice view of sunrise and sunset.

I want to tell everyone to visit the place for at least 1 to 3 hrs. I mostly visit the place at 7 am or 7pm which is the best time to visit if you want to see the sunrise or the sunset. It’s an amazing place with every kind of feeling.

I had visited the place twice, once in the morning during sunrise and once in evening during sunset. Both the time I had a good feeling like I had visited the place during cherry blossoms and I was astounded to see the water surrounding the blossoms and if you ride on a boat you will get a better feeling. All the time I had visited the scene was assum.

I would recommend everyone to visit this place if they haven’t been...

Comprehensive Review: Marsh Creek State Park is a 535 acre man-made lake in Chester County. it's nice that in the main park (east launch) you can rent a kayak, canoe, paddle board or sailboat, and of course, you can bring your own. There are boat launches on both the east and west shores. The east launch is popular with people coming to just watch the boats, and there is a food stand in this section. A clean, clear swimming pool with water features is in this section. There is a charge for admission as the pool is vendor provided. This is a good spot to remind readers that all PA State Parks have free park admission. Near and beyond the pool, there are several large parking lots. These lots are surrounded with dozens of picnic tables and two modern bathroom facilities. The Red Trail goes around this area and the northeast corner has a playground. There are several things of interest along the Chalfant Road Section of Marsh Creek State Park. Just off Conestoga Road is a gate beyond which is the Lime Loop Trail. This trail is part of a larger group of horse riding trails with a nice big parking lot further down Chalfant Road (see picture). About halfway down the road is a gate with a sign. At this point the park is on both sides of the road. The previous section was park land only on the west side. At the end of the road there is a sizable parking lot for people who launch canoes and kayaks. However, I noticed several other small parking spots along the road suitable for launching hand crafts and fishing. The lake is a good warm water fishing attraction. The West Shore section of Marsh Creek State Park is extremely busy with watercrafts. Electric motorboats are allowed, as are sailboats, which perform well here with the lake's prevailing winds. You'll also see lots of kayaks and canoes on the water. You can rent watercraft on the East Launch side of the park. Especially on weekends, the shore's edge is line with people in beach chairs watching all the boats and hopefully catching a refreshing breeze off the water. The butterfly meadow is in this part of the park as is an access to the white trail. The four mile white trail follows most of the lake's west shore. Also in this section is the Hope Springs Farm which offers horseback riding lessons, trail riding and horse boarding. The Dorian Mill Road part of Marsh Creek is in the park's southern section. The parking lot off Dorian Mill Road provides access to the yellow trail, a six mile rugged trail for mountain biking and hiking. A wide gravel road from this lot leads to the top of the earth and stone dam. Further along Dorian Mill Road is another parking area near a bridge over Brandywine Creek. This is an access point for the heavily used Struble Trail which leads into Downingtown. There are portable bathrooms on site. Marsh Creek has no overnight camping, but nearby French Creek does. Hunting is allowed in certain sections of the park in hunting season. If cold enough, ice skating, ice fishing and ice boating are allowed. caution: ice thickness is not monitored.

Very grateful for this place, as it seems that everyday it is becoming more and more rare. Springton Reservoir used to be an amazing place (technically still is), but now it's gone to the public. Octaroro Lake is also in danger of the same thing happening due to corporate greed, or what more accurately is called, evil. The good people that run Octaroro have been fighting in court for years to keep it from being acquired (stolen) from the people. It has gotten to the point where trying to find a decent Lake (or even a pond) in this area to fish/hike/camp is next to impossible. Everything is fenced off and or private due to the same evil. So, again it is a blessing that this place exists. It is not the easiest like to fish, and has a wide variety of species including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, crappie, perch, pickerel, sunfish, catfish, sturgeon (yes, I witnessed a blue surgeon in Marsh Creek with my own eyes last summer}, and is stocked every year with giant Muskellunge, some over 40". They have a decent amount of trails to hike, also kayaks, boats, etc available for rent. Parking is no problem during the week, but on the weekends can be tough, especially holiday weekends. They do need to implement an alarm system for bad storms that can easily be connected to a weather radar and alert people that are out on the lake that a storm is coming. As more than once I single-handedly saved families with small children in boats, old ladies floating out in the middle reading books, joy kayakers, etc by telling them they have to get to shore immediately, and many just barely made it, including myself after spending the time speeding around trying to alert everyone. I even spoke to a ranger about this, who thanked me, but seemed uncertain about implementing some sort of warning alarm. One of the instances I'm referring to in minutes went from blue skies and a gentle breeze, literally to 3 foot, white capped waves, 30-50 mph wind gusts, and...
