Located in the northwest tip of Montgomery County, one of
Pennsylvania's most prosperous and desirable counties,
the Upper Perkiomen Valley has some of the most beautiful scenery
in the world. There is easy access to Rt. 63 (Sumneytown Pike),
Route 663 (Layfield Road), and Route 73 (Big Road). The Lansdale/
Kulpsville interchange of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (northeast
extension) is only eleven miles away, and it is only minutes
to the Quakertown interchange. The Route 422 Expressway to King
of Prussia is also within minutes.
Other areas which are easily accessible from the Upper Perkiomen
Valley include Great Valley, Collegeville, Montgomeryville, Allentown,
Reading, and Philadelphia and its suburbs.
Upper Montgomery County is full of places to go
and things to do.
The Upper Montgomery County Park System offers picnicking,
boating,
fishing, tennis, ice skating, camping and hiking and bridal paths.
Equestrians come from all over to enjoy miles of beautiful trails.
The Unami Creek is stocked with trout for anglers
from far and
wide. Doe Mountain and Spring Mount
ski slopes are popular winter
retreats.
There are numerous camps in the area, including
Camp Hart
and Camp Delmont scout camps and Camp Green
Lane. Flea markets
and antique shops are abundant, Skippack
Village being perhaps the
most famous. The area is rich in history with many historic sites
open to the public. The Quakertown Farmers Market
and Zern's
Farmers Market and the Perkiomenville Sale
are popular attractions.
Summer Theater is also frequented by many. Travel an
hour or so
south to Philadelphia, or about the same distance
north to the
Pocono Mountains.
