Neshaminy Creek Description

Neshaminy Creek (pronounced /n???æm?ni/[1]) is a stream that runs southeast through Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Neshaminy Creek proper rises south of Chalfont Borough, where North Branch Neshaminy Creek and West Branch Neshaminy Creek meet.[2] Neshaminy Creek flows lastly through Bensalem Township before emptying into the Delaware River. The name "Neshaminy" originates with the Lenni Lenape First Nation, and is thought to mean "place where we drink twice". [3] This phenomenon refers to a section of the creek known as the Neshaminy Palisades, where the course of the water slows and changes direction at almost a right angle, nearly forcing the water back upon itself. [4] These palisades are located in Dark Hollow Park, operated by the county, and are flanked by Warwick Township to the south, and Buckingham Township to the north. [5][6]
