Lake Lenape Waterfalls
The spillway pours over a low WPA-built dam into the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek, the natural halfway point on the loop that circles this 122-acre park straddling Sellersville and Perkasie. Twin suspension bridges from the Roebling company (the Brooklyn Bridge people) cross the water just upstream, and the lake behind the dam was dedicated in September 1937.
WPA Twin Bridges
Two white suspension footbridges the WPA strung across Lake Lenape in 1938, modeled on the same Roebling design behind the Brooklyn Bridge. Roughly 500 feet of towers and cable over the creek, and still the only suspension bridges anywhere in Pennridge.
