General Information

PPL welcomes you to the serene landscapes and relaxing trails of the Martins Creek Environmental Preserve.

Located on the banks of the scenic Delaware River, the Lenni Lenape Indians named this land Tekening (pronounced "tek-en-ing"). The phrase means "in the wood."

The preserve boasts five miles of wooded hiking trails with views of the middle Delaware River, which has been designated by Congress as a Wild and Scenic River. Hikers can view the woodlands, geological formations and wildflowers found on the west bank of the river.

The 215-acre environmental preserve borders PPL's Martins Creek and Lower Mount Bethel power plants. It's a prime example of how industry and nature can coexist.
