Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania: Ringing Rocks Park

A four-acre pile in the middle of the woods, where boulders, when struck, emit a sound more musical than the typical rock thud (if you remember to bring your hammer). But Mom says I have to quit hitting everything with a hammer.

Ringing Rocks

In the heart of rural Upper Black Eddy PA, in the middle of the woods, lies a 4-acre pile of rocks and boulders that ring when struck by a hammer! Approximately one third of them emit sounds like bells. Some of the locals claim it's supernatural. Studies of the rocks show no special substances or formations. Kids young and old love this place. Just keep an eye out for the snakes, they love this place too!

Ringing Rocks State Park

A really cool place in Pennsylvania is Ringing Rocks State Park and campground, in or near Bucks county PA. Bring a hammer and hit the rocks and they all start to ring. Little kids love it. Not much else to do anywhere near there though.

Yes, we visited and hammered the Ringing Rocks one night decades ago, after an unproductive hunt for a Men in Black portal in western NJ...
