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. But Mom says I have to quit hitting everything with a hammer.

This is a nice little day trip with the family. Plan on staying under 2 hours. Bring your camera and own hammers to bang on the rocks -- pliers or chisels do not work as well. The good ringing ones have big depressions in the top from the many visitors. This is quite a hike -- wear good shoes and socks, no sandals. I visited with my 5,8 and 9 year old. The five year old held his own but is used to the woods. Bring water too. There is little there besides a parking lot and bathroom. Continue on the trail for a low flow but nice waterfall. Bring a map or ask the locals for directions as it is not easy to find.
[Susan, 07/04/2008]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!
[Lisa G., 06/25/2004]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.
