Neshaminy Creek is a 40.7-mile-long tidal creek flowing entirely through Bucks County, Pennsylvania, from its confluence of branches south of Chalfont to its mouth at the Delaware River. With a watershed covering approximately 236 square miles, it features a mix of natural banks, forested areas, and some bluffs, offering a variety of angling environments. The creek is influenced by tidal action near its mouth at Neshaminy State Park, where it meets the Delaware River. A significant "DO NOT EAT" advisory is in effect for all fish species throughout the entire Neshaminy Creek basin due to high levels of PFOS chemicals, meaning all caught fish should be released.
