The Old Growth parts of the forest are a good metaphor for this whole park. A visit here is a way to visit the area's roots. To see the trees a bit like they once were. Remember, this whole state was named for...more
Great place to view wildlife - I am a birder and also a volunteer at this park/lake. I check for new eaglets and monitor the bluebird boxes. I have seen red fox, red bats, deer of course, and many great birds as there is such a diverse habitat. The creek that comes into this place flows from around Indiana, PA through the lake/park and out into the Allegheny River at Rosston, PA My favorite place to escape - Really looking forward to the reopening of the park. Seeing the beautiful falls, walking the trails, enjoying the outdoors with my family is always a good day, Childs Park is my favorite escape. 
Simply beautiful, but can be dangerous - Amazingly beautiful park with tons of trails to hike at all levels! Places to have lunch. Old covered bridges w/ historical signs to guide & enlighten. Gorges & hills & amazing waterways! Please be very careful tho.. many people have drowned in these waters from either trying to swim or falling while climbing the many peaks. Other have become lost when they went off path. Great for everything from fishing to hiking to simply walking you dogs! The Best Place to Camp - We have been taking our kids camping there for years. They love the beach, bike path, playground, creek and hiking. So much to do. I enjoy taking pictures of the beautiful surroundings. One of our favorite parks - BEAUTIFUL Hidden natural paradise - Have been visiting since 1966. Have now visited with grand children. Picnic is great. Mill is one of a kind. Hiking and climbing are easy. Just beautiful spot in WPA hillside. This park has much to offer - http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/recreation/index.htm Absolutely Beautiful-Love it! - John moore YCAS member - cant wait for it to reopen! - hoping it reopens this spring - a wonderful park for waterfalls (3) and hiking fantastic for an environmental meeting - Idyllic setting for a small group meeting on environmental or related issues. A great place to develop group cohesion. Wonderful Campground - We loved camping there. Clean, peaceful.. What a nice place to camp....
hunting and vistors - vistors should be made aware of hunting seasons a displaying orange for saftey purposes while in the park. could be dangerous for vistor not aware of hunting seasons and orange beautiful state park - This park is so beautiful. It is very well taken care of and a true enjoyment to all who go. Peaceful and serene. You will love it. if you go here take a day to enjoy it. and look for the wildlife. The employees are awesome and they have great volunteers. nice rangers coming since i was 4 - fishing, bike riding,trails,and swimming This is the best park ever!!!!!!!!! - - i am doing report about this Really Pretty Park - Visited park for first time during a fall afternoon, so it was not busy at all. Nice beach, plenty of bathroom facilities, and playgrounds for children. Good fishing places. Nice park! Great place to spend the day! - My wife & I have visited many times and plan to go this weekend for the Halloween/fall activities. We have always found our visit to be educational as well as enjoyable thanks to the knowledgeable & friendly guides! a great park to go to with your family - my husband me and my daughtre love to go camping at codorus it is a very clean safe place to take your family - Love this place. Been going every year for as long as I cam remember. So many memories. Absolutely beautiful in October with the trees changing color. LONGTIME PROMISED LAND PARK VISITOR - The first time I visited Promised Land Park was in Oct.1961. My friend Chet had rented cabin 3, Tuscarora for the full week. Bob, Rich, and I arrived Friday evening amid rainy weather. Back then the cabins were really RUSTIC. There were outhouses that occupy the area where modern wash/shower/toilet facilities now are. Back then the park rangers supplied a hugh mountain of firewood just outside each cabin. You had to bring an axe to split the wood. We really enjoyed the open fireplace inside the cabin; very cozy but not fuel efficient. Back in 1961, the park did not have all the modern conveniences as today. We had a pump outside our cabin to fill our water buckets. Also, there were no modern concession stand or shower facilities near the swimming area. Things have changed, but I still have fond memories of weekends spent at Promised Land Park. I look forward to renting a cabin in Oct. 2012 with my son Adam to help me celebrate my 70th birthday year. Promised Land Park is one of my favorites within the Pa. Park System. Fun Family Day. - Great hiking trails. Beautiful scenery. The Balanced rock is awesome. I used to love that place as a kid, and this summer I made it to the rock at 68. Great place to collect your thoughts - For me, Ridley Creek State Park has always been a place I can go to collect my thoughts. Once I’m in these woods, all of my Life’s worries just go away.
Home away from home - As cabin owners,we can continually be restored with the all around beauty of forests,wildlife and water.it does not get any better than this. 
Nuisance inspections, - Love boating in the park , but not worth the hassle given by fish and game officers.
Have visited the park approx 8 times this season and have been checked half those visits. Will no longer be visiting the park. Great park, avoid the boat rentals - The park was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. However, avoid the boat rental concession. Only 2 of 10 or so paddle boats were operational and then our boat ended up sinking. A black eye on an otherwise nice park. Family Fun - we have had nothing but a great time with family and friends, when you cant go to far from home this is the perfect spot with lots to do, fun for every age Favorite Park - We love camping here. I have camped there for over 40 years. Nice trails, large old-growth pine trees. Small park is less stressful and laid back. Pristine Kettle Creek for fishing and swimming. The Best Family and get away park ever - Me and my family have been go to this park to have are family reunion since i was about 10 and now im 25, we love it and now this time i get to bring my husband and daughter to see were i grew up at and how are family enjoyed are selves and Nockamixon State park every year pa paradise - I have been going to park since I was a camper at speers eljabar in the early 70s.Try to visit park every year.Wonderful memories that are still created and brought back year after year Paradise! - This park is small, the folks are so nice, the hosts are very helpful, all staff is friendly, the trails are excellent- from the beginners up to the advanced; they are well marked and well cared for too. This is my favorite place- not just to camp and swim, but literally my favorite spot in the world :) - Beautiful overlooks of the canyon. Nothing close to this in Minnesota. The camping area looks well maintained and organized. If camping in the area, get used to wolves and coyotes howling at night. Sweet - I was blessed with my many visit. A Favorite of Ours - We live relatively close to this park and enjoy visiting it very much. Very nice place for families as it has a sandy beach and swimming area as well as picnic pavilions and plenty of tables. Small playground and sand volleyball court. Also fishing and non-motorized boating allowed. Some nice programs in summer and a very nice visitor center. Highly recommend. - A very nice park. Secluded yet within reasonable distance to town. Sad to see that the pool was closed and removed. Spent many happy hours there. Grounds are beautiful and the restrooms very clean and well-maintained. Awesome forest but.... - Awesome forest but....a lot of these reviews are for Bald Eagle State Park. The state park has the lake with a rustic camping side. The state park is nice too, but the state forest is amazing! Great Bird Sancurtar - Beautiful historic grounds. Very pristine place with modern lecture, artifact guest house. From Johstown, it is a great inexpensive day trip. First time there on my 61st birthday 6/18/11 for French Indian War lecture/slides/artifacts. Just like book TV. rt 22 nissan fans - very nice park we all loved it and enjoyed it.that was dave t and i aziz m
awsome park - swimming some of the best mountainbiking around, hiking is also A+ fishing boating so much to do or not do nothin at all ... and the scenery is sweet... Best Place Ever... - We had Our HoneyMoon Here and it was so much fun and we plan to come back each chance we get Thanks... Wonderland - Codorus is a veritable wonderland from the hiking trails and beautiful lakeside picnicking areas to the water-park style pool. I have camped frequently in this State Park and visited Codorus on daytrips many times. The disc golf course is really fun. My niece loves the horseback riding, and my own children love fishing and riding their bikes throughout the campus of the park. Whether you are looking for a nice place to spend the day or even looking for an economical family vacation, this place is fantastic. Beautiful, Quick Get away - Just a fun, quick hike trip for an hour, four hours or a family time for a picnic and light nature tour. Always enjoy it up there. campsite map - We have made a week-end reservation for August, 2011. We know our site number, however cannot download a map of the camping area. If anybody has one, can you please scan and email to oicm@zitomedia.net? Our family reunion is the reason why we are staying for the week-end and we sure would like to know where our site is with relation to the pavilion. Thank you. Our four grandsons love this park . - the best park around - it great has everything u need without driving somewhere 4 hours or days 2 get there
- So dissapointed to see it closed til 2012....was really looking forward to taking My kids. a great local favorite - This has been a favorive place for my family to go to take a walk, ride bike, picnic and just relax. It is like a day vacation Fun, Relaxing, Quiet & Safe - We traveled from Germantown, MD for several days trips and camped at the resort 4 times over the summer. Enjoyed ourselves very much, staff was very polite, beach was clean, campgrounds were quiet, relaxing and accomadating in every way. We will see you again this year for another great time. Beach is great! - A great camping experience for all! The beach area and bath house are top notch! You can buy treats for the kids at the food stand and prices are very reasonable. The camping sites are well maintained and you are not right on top of one another. Looking forward to many many more years of camping, picnicing, and playing at Chapmans Dam. Good horseback riding trails - First trip to Jacobsburg with the horse, was a great ride. Good trails, many well groomed, a couple segments were a little rocky; not much mud (this written in the middle of a very wet spring). AWESOME - A great experience with my family. Hope to come here during the summer as it was a wonderful time! best camp grounds - the campground is awsome for fishing and relaxing every thing is easy to get to or throught if you have a large rv or camper. The trails and wild life are varey well seen and layed out. The showers are great and clean it a blast for the family and your 4 legged furry family members to and every one is friendly. as of 2010 we are friends of laurel hill - we love the park, lake, streams, and campground. everything about this park is wonderful. our family plans on spending alot more time there in 2011. thanks to all who make it what it is. Childhood favorite,now my rejuvenation - To all...drove 2 hours from Jersey to spend the day only to find out park is closed til 2012....major disappointment. My Sunday Morning Get Away - A beautiful place where i spend most of my weekend mornings fishing and testing new lures.A wonderful place to view wildlife and to just breathe the fresh air. Spring thaw - I took a drive yesterday took me just under an hour to get there from Granville Summit. I arrived to find things still thawing, and the lake still very much covered in ice. Was a beautiful sight! Memories - I will never forget the first time i went to Kettle Creek. This is truely an awesome place to get away from the motions of everyday life. From the breath-taking views, to the beautiful wildlife. I recommend this place to anybody that likes to enjoy nature to its fullest. FAMILY - I AN A FAMILY MEMBER OF THE BROOKS AND AS A CHILD WE CAME TO THIS FAMILY PARK ALL THE TIME WE PLAYED SWAM HIKED AND PICKED FLOWERS I HAVE RELATIVES BURIED IN THE CEMETERY EVEN DONT LIVE CLOSE ANY MORE HAVE LOADS OF MEMORIES best place in the world - clear creek is my most favorite place in the whole entire world! i have so many memories of camping there for the past 43 years. (the first time i went camping at clear creek i was 1 month old)! Our favorite PA park - Have owned a cabin within 2 miles of Poe Valley State Park for 40 years. Love it for the fishing, picnicking, solitude in the winter, wildlife, especially the ducks and geese. You never know what will be on the lake. No longer a state park - This park is no longer part of the Pennsylvania state park system. It is now called the George W. Childs Recreation Area, and is a part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Swimming, once very popular in the pools beneath the waterfalls, was banned when the National Park Service took over. Our Favorite Park! - Laurel Hill State Park is Excellent! Something for Everyone. excellant hiking trails - I have hiked all of the trails several times .and love them all. Would like to see more trails 35 years of wonderful camping clean - Great Park - There is everything possible here in Ridley Creek State Park. There are great walking trails, beautiful homes and land, and lots of nature to look at on your journey. Camping Season - Camping season is first Friday in April and ends third Sunday in October. Shower are usually open until the end of camping season
A Great time...but a challenge - My dad took me riding early in the morning around 10:00. The horses went through the trail without many problems. However when we came later another day the horses refused to go through the gate and thus a tour guide and to push them through. It is a beautiful trail, but sometimes it can be difficult to get the horses going. Stubborn horses but a Great RIde - I have tried going different times in the day to see at what hour the horses were more up to the trail ride. There were a few times where a guide had to pull us through. However when my dad and I went without a guide on a day when the horses were being cooperative we had tons of fun. I could not stop talking about the horse that I rode and I could not wait to go again. It is hard to get the horses onto the trail but over all a very enjoyable ride! LOVE IT!! - it is a really good park. very beautiful. the kids though it was fantastic. lot of things to do. looking for something to do? this is the perfect thing. the only bad thing is the that the nearest food place is kind of far away, but thats ok.
me and the kids give it an A++ great place to go to get away - We have been boating here for 2 years and this year we stayed in one of the cottages. what a great place to just escape reality for a weekend... Our favorite weekend getaway spot! - My husband and I love Raccoon State Park, we have rented a cabin there for the weekend on several occasions. Very nice park, friendly staff, very relaxing..Highly recommend going there. Love this Park - This is our favorite weekend getaway spot - it is close to home for us but the park is worth the drive if you live further away, very beautiful and relaxing. We have rented the cabins several times for the weekend-you will love it there- we do! Great place to visit and learn - I loved my time at Hopewell Furnace. It was great to have the time to walk the grounds, see the workings of the furnace, and read the interpretive markers/info. A great experience. Very educational. I will be back. Make sure u get ur confirmation email - I made a reservation for a cottage as a gift to my hubby for his bday...got confirmation for the reservation after i put my card number in but when we arrived there was no one around and the cottage was locked..so we ended up coming back home. We usually stay on the primitive side but with the chilly nights thought now would be the time to try a cottage. I was suppose to receive an email confirming for the site which I did not this time so some one dropped the ball...and i should have called the park before we left. So my hubby got a 3 hour ride for his bday. This has not ever happened to us before and we camp on the primitive site a lot....we love the hikes & the lake. So we will do this again but not without the confirmation email. need better accomodations for boaters - when beached at picnic area , boats get banged up do to other boats comming down the lake. should think of picnic areas in no wake zones like at preachers camp for boats to tie up and picnic on shore Best Park, Hidden Jewel - We visited this park twice in month of August 2010. The park is awesome!! Bring the family, take a hike, bring a towel and have a picnic. The kids will remember it for a long time and so will we. We discoverd this park by mistake while going to Dingmans Fall. Family-Friendly Park!! - We love Sizerville State Park. We come here every year. My kids love it here, and it is very clean and very family-oriented. This is our all time favorite camping spot. Definitely recommend. Wonderful Time - I took four children for a weekend at the park and we stayed in a yurt. Was a wonderful experience for all of us. There was a Park Naturalist John who had some great programs and the children looked forward to each movie and program. The naturalist center was so educational and enjoyed by all. It made our first experience at a state park wonderful. We were there for August 21st weekend. one of my favorite - Need More Grills! - Very clean, free admission, beautiful lake, plenty of pinic tables,...but HARDLY ANY GRILLS. The motor boats/jet skis should be petitioned off from bathers a bit more, too. Beautiful River - I have canoed many times on this river. It has little islands in it to camp on. A great place to spend the whole weekend! Family Vacation - We had our family vacation here for the second year an we loved it. We love to ride the paddle boats and Kyake and being at the lake swimming every day is not bad either. Our favorite park - I love it here. I would love to get married here just not sure how to go about doing it. Fossil Hunting Fun - Came to collect marine fossils and found some very nice specimens. The park was very pretty and well maintained. I think they should only allow non-polluting boats in the water, the day I was there it was filled with jet skis and they were loud, dirty and annoying. The bathrooms were pretty clean but the water only stayed on for about 2 seconds, hardly enough to wash/rinse your hands. Overall it was a very positive experience. Great park! - Sure was beautiful. Greatest place in PA - I love the whole POE Valley experience. Alot of great memories ere in between those 2 mountains. Great place to bring the family and kids will learn a life experience! Great Place - Loved this park Family Bonding - We have been coming to this park for about six years and our family enjoys the activities we do as a family. Beautiful Lake! - Gem - Presque Isle is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. The forest & especially the beaches. It is the gem of lake Erie! The state needs to work hard to protect the serenity of the beaches by not allowing boaters to park close to shore, though. Their music, grills ,and sheer volume- 4 boats inside the stone markers at the lighthouse beach forced us to move- the natural beauty of such a wonderful place was marred. My first trip - My first visit after a lenghty time living in PA myself, I enjoy the view, scenery and all surrounding. Above, it a very family oriented and pleasent to visit. Great for kids - Swimming much better without lifeguards. Camping area needs more playground equip. and more Yurts! Love the Yurt!! LOVED IT - Cant wait to go back. It was a beautiful trip...My girls had a blast. one of our favorite parks - Mike Hanlon was one of the Rangers and he was wonderful...looking up information for us and answering all our many questions. He represents Shawnee well. love it, try to go every year - very beautiful park, kept very clean one of the best parks - water is very clean but the bathroom was a mess canyon country campground - a group of 8 of us went camping to celebrate the one yr anniversary of me finishing chemo for breast cancer - chemo is more fun then this campground - rules are posted everywhere - they are strictly enforced - not allowed to make a PEEP past 10 pm even on weekends - owner stands behind trees in the dark and spies on you - thanks for making my chemo more enjoyable than your campground - do not recomend a wonderful place to take your family to - i had went last week and had one of the best times ever.. well the water is really clean and it a very nice place to take your family. its a wonderful place to have a picnic at.. and also to go swimming.. i had a wonderful time this place is a two thumbs up. Great - Great plac for parties alot of space for a big amount of people Snow Mobile trail a great hike in July! - Beautiful Sat. morning hike to celebrate the July 4th weekend. Followed the snowmobile trail that was very shaded by the woodland forest. Some areas the moss on the trail was as soft as carpeting. It was an easy hike, serene and green. The BEST 4th of July - Unique diverse scenery! Isolation! :) - A great forest to visit and enjoy! Chuck keiper trail difficult but worth the sweat! Plan on doing donut hole also!
Great Swimming Destination - Love the clean beach Wonderful Park - I used to visit this park as a child in the 1960s. I remember the great fun and sense of freedom I enjoyed there with my family and friends. My family moved to California in 1970, and I have not been back to the East Coast since then. I have been considering a visit. Lord willing, Childs Park will be on my itinerary. LOVE IT - I LOVE CANOE CREEK!! my family has gone there since i was very young every summer and we stay in the cabins for a week and it is just BEAUTIFUL! use to be the best park ever - now they took the dam out, there is no more concession stand, boat rentals, just the pool and they are not always opened. it was once a beautiful place to go and i think the state needs to recognize this and do something to bring this back to the way it use to be. then you will be busy more then ever. i still will come but i would like to know what time and days the pools are opened. the campgrounds are very nice they added 2 cabins, the trails are a big adventure for everyone and a good workout, if more people would get together and do something about it then maybe we can get ryersons back again. i remember going before the pool was even there. that is how long i have been going there. now i make that a place for my girls and I to go. several of my friends and there families have gone with me and we are planning to come real soon again. good - Recommended great site, Great Creeks. beautiful and peaceful - i wanted to know if there are any camp fires allowed at the campgrounds nothing huge just something able to roast marshmellows on and tell scary stories please let me know Very family friendly! - We went with 6 other families for the first time and had a blast. My kids are 9 and under and I would definitely do Tuscarora again. Brought the laptop for the kiddies but they never asked for it. Between going to the beach, playground, campfire, trails and riding their scooters they had a wonderful time. Bath house super clean. Not far from cabins or yurts. Never crowded for a shower. We rented a yurt since it was our first time but will do a cabin next time. The yurt was like a sauna in the afternoon. No tree shade over it. The yurt was clean. It was awesome to have a frig. We hope to go over to the other campsite for ice cream next time. We were so busy hanging out in our area. Great experience!! Would definitely recommend to young families. Place of memories - I have been going there since i was a little girl.....i am now 53. I live in VA now but come up ever summer for family get reunions.
This year there will be close to 70 of us.
Perfect spot for beauty and lots of fun We love coming here to fish! - My husband and I recently started fishing here and really enjoy it. Almost always catch something, the view is beautiful, and the park is so clean. A friend of ours told us about this place, and realized that I used to come here years ago for walks. Freezing Cabins awesome park - The cabins have no heat in winter but we managed to stay warm. It is awesome there in the winter. Had a wonderful time on the trails there. First date with my wonderful wife was there in Dec 2009. Hidden Treasure - Yellow Creek is a beautiful park that is hidden away. The trails are nice to walk with you family but are not to long for kids. The beach is kept clean so you never have to worry if you take your family swimming. Picnic areas are nice and the play ground is always fun for the kids. Fishing is up and down but it is like that at most places. Camping? - We love the park and really would love it if the park would have a campsite. They would make money and attract more people. This would be great! Our second home! - Every time we visit, we can marvel at the tranquility of this park. We love to spend time on our own, but can count on diverse educational programs held by the staff. We appreciate the efforts of everyone involved in maintaining this sweet place! A favorite place to hang out with family - Beautiful Park - This park is awesome!! Great for kids and adults! Bring a towel (you know the kids will get wet) and a picnic lunch! Absolutely beautiful. Thank you PA! - Pretty but MANY TICKS - We enjoyed seeing Dingman Falls, Toms Creek and Childs Park, but those places had short boardwalk trails. We decided to do a long several mile hike on McDade Trail, thought it was very poorly maintained and we turned around only after about a mile. Trail is overgrown and we were covered in hundreds of ticks each. So stay off of overgrown paths. The grass is way to high - The grass on the walking paths and in the park area is way to high. Also at boat areas. Our Favorite Get-Away!!! - Thanks soooo much for re-opening. We love the cabins and love that there are showers now, the only thing better is if we could bring our yellow lab along. top notch park - I have been to promised land a number of times for bike riding and marathon training. It is one of the most beautiful parks that I have ever visited. Romance and Beauty Abounds - My fiance and I hiked at Salt Springs this past weekend. I had been there many times, it was his first. We reached a spot on Hardwood Trail, where we both simultaneously decided we want to be married in that spot. It is truly a beautiful and serene place. One of our favorite parks - Excellent Park - An excellent park with friendly staff and beautiful scenery. All in all an exceptional visit. Awesome - Love this place! My childhood - I grew up in Lewistown and in those hot summers this was the treat. Many happy memories cooling off in those icy spring waters pristine beauty and serenity - Have camped here for years and seen many improvements. Always look forward to coming back,so relaxing and family friendly. Sites are a great distance apart which lends to uncrowded feeling. Office staff are great. Dreamscapes - This is my favorite place in the world. It is serene and beautiful. Lush forests, and magnificent water falls with crystal granite pools. If I could be anywhere it would be here. this is the only park for us - we held a picnic here last year and all I cansay is we will be back for many years to come One of our favorite campgrounds - I love camping at Locust Lake. It is a beautiful place, well kept and just a relaxing wonderful place to visit. Cant wait to go riding again - The last time i was there i was too little to ride the horse without my mom walking it, but,even after these long years, i cant wait to go back and go riding again as a birthday present ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! - Caledonia, One of the best camping areas! Hidden Jewel - My sister and I visited this park on Saturday, March 20, 2010. It was the first day of Spring and the weather was beautiful. We found this park while looking for another. The waterfalls are stunning and the picnic area is great. Bring the family, take a hike, and have a picnic. The kids will remember it for a long time and so will we. absolutely beautiful and peaceful - we brought our kids there and now our grandchildren. very disappointed to hear that tuttle point is closing! this is one of our favorite places Fantastic Camping Experience - Having heard the park was on the 2010 closure list due to the budget shortfall, we were relieved and thrilled to see it survive.
My family and I spent the the 4th of July 2009 weekend at Col Denning State Park (CDSP) and had a wonderful time. There are several things we particularly enjoyed: the peace and quiet of the reservable walk-in tent campsites; the ranger orienteering program; the well-maintained and scenic hiking trails; the friendly volunteer campground hosts who sold ice/firewood; the clean vault toilets and the swimming beach.
We have travelled to six states and the US Virgin Islands to tent camp. Little CDSP remains one of our favorite spots. Thank you Pennsylvania for keeping it open. We can not wait to return this year. More trails needed. - I wish there were more trails within the park and better directions about finding access to the park. We lived in the area for years before we learned how to access the park. 3.5 miles of trails is really nothing, although you can access the green ribbon trail, not all areas of that allow pets or bikes. favorite weekend getaway - we started coming to codorus twenty years ago.the park is clean and peaceful. the fishing is great.the staff knows you by name and are very friendly and helpful. My favorite State park - If you like to be out in the mountains, this is the place to go. I been to alot of state parks in Pa, this one has the best trails. When camping here you realy feel like your in the woods not at a commercialized camp ground. The wildlife is great to. If you like peace and quiet camping this is the place. our favorite park for many years - Our kids have been raised here the past 25 years. We love it there. Follow the rules given at the office and no problems with bears. Only problem is they often allow large groups of kids in the regular sections of the campground, and there goes your quiet vacation week! I have told them about it and hope it changes but just in case I would check to see if there is a case of that in the loop you want to stay in before reserving! My familys favorite camping spot - Please open Poe Valley up this year. My family misses camping there. We have waited a few years for it to reopen. It is a very family oriented state park and we miss going there. - GREAT FISHING N CAMPING - PLEASE OPEN THE PARK NEED BACK UP, PRIVATE CAMPGROUNDS DO NOT COMPARE. Worth every minute - We live near the park and hike up there almost every week-end. The falls trail is amazing but even the shorter easier trails are awesome in any season (epecially winter when the falls trail is closed to most). love to go there for picnic , and walk - By the way, Who if anyone owns the other island,on the East side? One of the best places for family fun!!! - Little Buffalo State Park is an amazing place for summer fun along with winter fun!! it has tons of activities during summer and when winter hits usually the 17th of dec santa comes to the park for 7 nights in a a row. Other than santa appearing at the park, there is lots of neat christmas lights and decorations all over the park. it really is a great time to go with family n enjoy the scenery. alot of ppl also meet here to have family gatherings, reunions and so on, i say its a wonderful place if u havent gone already id suggest to do so!! There is plenty of activities for all ages during the summer months also as well. i think u'd have a wonderful time at Little Buffalo State Park. Big timbers, great hike - I hiked this trail earlier this Fall. (2009) It was a nice hike, enjoyed walking across the top section of trail. Will do it again. Poe Valley - Please open Poe Valley for this upcoming summer season. Two years is a LONG time not to be able to visit the greatest state park in the USA I have a cabin on ice house road - I love it here we go for 2 weeks every year in the summer it is a great place, the fishing could be better though haha - Really nice place. So very quiet---one feels like he is truly in the mountains. We drank from the creek, and will return in the spring. State College area. Beautiful! - My family loved this park! The hiking trails are beautiful, and the facilities are clean and well kept. BEST CAMPING - I started camping at Chapman Dam the year before Bob Pepple starting running the park,around 1962.I camped every summer for 2 weeks for around 30 plus years.Just recently my wife and I where wave running at Kinzua Dam and took time out to drive to Chapman to see what it was like since many years had passed since camping there.It still looks like when we camped with a few changes.I was wandering if Bob Pepple is still around.Last I heard he was living in Youngsville.We are thinking of having a family reunion in 2010 ! One of my fondest childhood memories - My grandparents and father took my two brothers and I to kettle creek every summer my whole life. I only visited one time in the past 25 years and it was the same exact way as it was when I was a kid. I am currently planning a trip there and will meet up with my two brothers. This will be the first time in about 28 years we have all been back on that mountain. No words to describe the feeling. Memories!!!!! - BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL. mor private than other campgrounds An Awesome Park - Cowans Gap was one of the very first type of beach I went to and I loved it there my family and I went there before school started. very peaceful good people running it - people in charge are very friendly and helpful.activities for everyone Awsome hunting and fishing - Awesome falls views - Our visit was confined to hiking the loop around the falls, strenuous for our age (80), but well worth the effort. Spectacular views. A few more directional signs may have helped us find our way. We will go back some day. Our second home - Hills Creek State Park has been a part of my life for the past 39 years. I camped as a teen, through my adult life. I was a camp host there in 1990-96. My children grew up there every summer. They became a part of an extended family. Everyone watches out for each other, even to this day. When my parents were living, it was the place we all gathered for those family events. And as they passed on, it was the place we went for comfort. We played together, we cried together, we fell in love there, we made everlasting friendships there...Hills Creek is one of the best kept secrets in the state of Pennsylvania....and oh yes, the men love the fishing...... Wonderful Place To Camp. - This was our first visit to this park. We were looking for a place so we could bring our little dog with us. Had a great few days. Thanks again to the State of Pa.,For a great place to camp. I will be back. Great Park and plenty to do! - We went fishing at French Creek and had a blast. The water is perfect and we even caught fish!
We ventured out and stayed at a wonderful historic country Inn called the Waynebrook Inn, about 10 minutes south on Rt 10. The place was absolutely charming and the restaurant was the best we experienced in months.
So, go...play and if you are staying overnight...check out the WayneBrook Inn. Awesome Place for vacation! - We went camping in their cabin this year and loved it! We stayed for 7 nights and instead of leaving got another cabin for 2 nights. We didnt wanna go home. This will be our family vacation every year! From now on it will be 2 weeks cause 1 was not enough! I go every year to hike the falls - 7 miles round trip - 2 dozen falls - gorgeous Beautiful Park - Great Location...lots of space...beautiful scenery...clean and lots of fun...the only thing I have to say, is that the Bthrms can me maintain alot better, but overall...Great place for the family! the place to be! - We LOVE it here! hiking, camping, resting. As long as People DONT clutter and LITTER all over its great. Fishings good if you know where to go.In the fall it comes to its full glory, with the colors.This place is just Great! - amazing. i love it here. My dad actually got married here. =] peaceful and pretty - What a beautiful gem of a park somewhat hidden away. It was a great place for our family to take a relaxing hike/walk for the afternoon. The Watershed trail is really pretty and fun. The Boulevard trail was really easy to walk and jumped between deciduous and coniferous woods. The kids enjoyed a spring of fresh water coming out of small hole in a hill the most. One of the best in PA. - I have been to a few St. Parks in PA and I personally believe this is one of the best. Good hiking, grounds kept nice, cabins are great. LIVING HISTORY - REINACTMENTS OF THE LAST BATTLE OF THE FRENCH & INDIAN WAR. Amazing! - I am a local to the crooked creek area . It is a beautiful place along with surrounding area. TThough I have never stayed overnight at this park it has many attractions to explore. The major ones being the swimming, Hiking (The baker trail passes through this park)and fishing . The experience received at this park might not be as grand as other places but it is definitely worth a trip. A BEAUTIFUL SPOT TO SPEND THE DAY - IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL YEARS SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE...I ALWAYS HAD A WONDERFUL TIME...AND I AM GOING BACK IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS... one of the best park has all u want - Huge play ground for atleast ten group.nice bath room clean around,swimming place on the lake,boating, every thing is there within decent distance. my home - I grew up here with Codorus Park bordering my home. I miss everything about it, from the beautiful starry nights to the millions of fireflys every night. Codorus is truely a magical place. My favorite childhood memory... - Camped here every year for my entire childhood.. Live in Texas now and want to come visit... PLEASE GET THE PARK OPENED! fun - i havent been there since i broke my leg in the pool Kids favorite fishing spot - Just a question for an employee.Ihad been fishing w/ my kids along the lake on 7/18 and i had lost my fishing license i wondered if therewas a lost&found at the park office or anywhere else thank u. great primative camping - private along the hemlocks of pa..fresh air and beautiful streams..perfect for the outdoorsman.. Great place to tent - Beautiful well kept facility, so disappointing they may not keep the park open, our legislators need to take another look at the parks in this area and rethink Poe Valley and Reeds Gap and find the money in the budget for finishing Poe and a new pool for the Gap!! - The park has many beautiful areas for picture taking and recreation. Love to hike the trails and see the wild flowers. There is a beautiful waterfall hidden off the main path. Great Educational Programs - We enjoy Greenwood Furnace State Park - educational programs and hikes. We look forward every December to the Christmas holiday event, horse drawn wagon rides, refreshments and the wonderful holiday ornaments the children get to make. A great place to be! no place like home - I grew up in the area. Graduated from Bucktail High School. Always enjoy camping at the upper camp ground. Nothing hardly compares to waking up in the morning, watching the fog lift off kettle creek and off the mountain. The area is so peaceful,it is one of the best places to go to forget about the hussle and bussle of everyday life.
Best Park!! - I have the fondest childhood memories from this enchanting place!!
Jason-Fiji Love it! - My brothers and sisters and I spent many weekends camping at Fuller lake when we were young. They were some of the happiest memories of our childhood. I now live out of state, but when I return, we always return to Fuller or Laural Lake for picnics. Pine Grove Furnace brings back lots of wonderful memories for us. NO Geese - This is a great park. Kids loved swimming in the lake. The best part was no geese. There was a small 1 foot gate around the part of the lake that they were swimmning in and apparently it works to keep the geese out. Just wish we had more time, but we will be back. Beautiful! - I went with my sisters and friends! We took tons of pics! I am glad we discovered this neat place. our favorite parks - 1 st time at the park was one of the niceice place my lady took me too love ever min of it the walk and the trials are so nice too walk on and the rock omg OUR FAVORITE PARK - WE ARE VERY PICKIE AND THAT PARK IS CLEAN, PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY,POOLS ARE SPACIOUS I LIKE THE IDEA IF YOU DONT WANT TO BBQ YOU CAN TAKE YOUR SNACKS IN POOL AREA.... First timer at Codorus - We had an amazing time when we went to Codorus, our first expierience was good that quite hours could be later into the evening, but other than that everything was amazing, the views, and the campsites Fun In The Sun - I love this place it lets the kids have a good time. When we go the kids have a great time and they sleep all the way back. An Enjoyable Biking Experience - Biking the Lehigh Gorge Rail-Trail was a fun and rewarding experience. Though I ride a tour bike, the crushed stone trail was packed hard enough to make this a very enjoyable ride. I would recommend this for all type bikes. A very well maintained trail. We had a difficult time finding the trailheads. Additional signage on the roads would be helpful. scouts - many years ago, when i was a cub scout, my pack used to go to jacobsburg state park to hike and picnic. I loved it! Great place to take kids - Exciting for the kids, beautiful for the adults! this creak and chain of different styles of falls is beautiful. Majestic Forest - We visit here every year with our family and we keep coming back. It is a beautiful, majestic forest with trails and creeks. Nice shelters for family get togethers and the kids have a blast. Nice weekend getaway - We visit Francis Slocum at least 3 times a season for camping and absolutely love it. The people are friendly, the pool is great and the hiking is a lot of fun. The sites are well maintained and large -- we have always stayed close to the water. The rangers are around if you need them but they are not constantly checking up on you as they do at a couple of other PA state parks. great family park - My family has been going to kooser the last few years we have a disabled child, and the facilities are wonderfull to assist with his care we so enjoy going here i beleive we have found our home away from home so much fun there evere time i go - LITTLE BUFFALO - I LOVE LITTLE BUFFALO CAUSE OF ALL THE FUN THINGS SUCH AS SWIMMING, BOATING, FISHING, AND HUNTING - a beautiful park with a wonderful campground. take a hike with the naturalist, he is very knowledgable about the wildlife and plantlife in the park The best park ever! So many things to do - It is beautiful and full of fun things to do. U can fish swim picknick hike and explore. There is a fresh water spring and a waterfall. And u can slip and slide down a huge smooth rock lightly covered with water making It perfect to slide down. Linn run is my favorite place in the whole world and I HIGHLY recommend it for any occasion. Wonderful, except .... - dogs are not welcome in the park. very good place to take children - My favorite park - Ohiopyle offers four distinct seasons and something to do in each. Clean white water rafting, beautiful bike trails, excellent camping with plenty of deer, colorful leaves and quiet mountain walks with great views. Very clean and peaceful great parkl for family fun !! - Super camping,nature center, beach and playground. Keep this state park open!!Great place to take your family One of our favorite parks to camp. - We love taking our son to Greenwood to camp and explore the outdoors. It boasts nice hiking paths and kept grounds. You can learn about the history of the park at one of the many shows @ the nearby mill. 4 out of 5 stars for us. great place to camp - loved going there as a kid, we would spend a week there every summer. the fishing was excellent above and below the dam. lots of trails to explore and you can watch black bear and deer evenings. The Serenity is Unbelieveable - I have visited this park the last two years in a row. It is amazing how serene it is. The campground is small, but just perfect for a quiet getaway. I have encountered all kinds of wildlife here. It is just a perfect place to visit if you want a simple and totally relaxing vacation. What lake? - According to the hiking-trail book I purchased, there is a wonderful lake as the centerpiece of the park. The lake no longer exists. The dam that was created has been destroyed, draining all water from the lake. Where there was once a lovely sight, there is just wetlands and clearcut. Most favorite park.. - I love Little Buffalo. I take my kids there to go hiking. There are many trails to hike on. The Blue Ball Tavern is full of cool things to look at. The mill is like the mill on Little House On The Prairie. They have an Apple Butter Festival in the Fall. Which is very cool. You can purchase apple butter and watch as they make it. You can also enjoy some tasty treats inside the mill. In the summer, there is no other pool like this one. There are water geisers all over the place. I love smelling people cooking out. If you are up for paddle boats, they are also availble at certain times of the year. Fishing is a huge thing as well. This park is my alltime favorite park.. - fun place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE VISIT EVERY MEMORIAL WEEKEND - We have been camping here with the kids for over 18 yrs. The lake itself is a very good lake for Crappie. We camp on the rustic side and have always enjoyed our stay. Watch out for the raccoons they will eat your bait and get into your coolers at night. A nice place to have fun in nature - I feel that Canoe Creek is one of the best places to go for swimming, fishing, hiking, picnics, and more. It is a place of nature and fun. - this park is the best park that i ever went to. i live near it - A Great Escape - There are so many beautiful trails( including the Appalacian Trail) to visit and Long Pine Run lake is great for canoeing etc. The wild Rhododendrons are gorgeous along many of the roads by the lake especially. You also have Caledonia State Park with great campimg. The area is just loaded with places to investigate and enjoy. Plenty of places to ride horses-hike a waterfall-or just relax. its so so - one of our favorite parks - only thing is that the picnic tables are falling apart and there are picnic tables in the water other then that we love to picnic and boat there Had my first day with my sweetheart here - A very nice place to go for a walk with your loved one. We walked hand in hand sat on benches laughed hugged and kissed. I will never forget that wonderful day. Great park.Great for walks or fishing - this park is full of natural beauty. There are very nice walking paths that let you experience nature, and great fishing. the best park in pa - french creek stata park is the best camping experience you can have. kids had a great time so did the parents - My husband would like to know when the Ironman Trialthon is going to be this year for Ottsville Vol Fire Police? crooked creek enviromental learing cente - What a wonderful place to get some peace and quiet. The nature is alluring and beautiful. The manager friendly and thorough. I recommend this place to any organization wanting to GET ONE WITH NATURE. GREAT PLACE - OUR FAVORITE PARK - PLEASE GET THIS PARK OPENED. NO WHERE ELSE SEEMS LIKE CAMPING. POE VALLEY PARK IS AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO CAMP. Beautiful Trails! - The Mountain View Trail in particular is simply gorgeous. Five miles of back country wilderness led us to an uphill trail along a mountain stream, one of the prettiest anywhere. A fabulous resource - Moraine State Park is an amazing jewel. It is well cared for, picturesque and rarely crowded. A wide assortment of wildlife and birds can be observed and the lake is perfect for kayakers. The cabins are the best I have experienced in a state park and I have stayed in 3 separate parks. our favoriteand loving place - Great place, guite and nice and everyone there is great and a great place to get marride..... Great Family Hiking! - This park has some amazing hiking trails!! One of the cleanest campsite in PA!!! - Most peaceful, quietest, and one of the nicest campsite in PA!! Fishing is great too!!

ONE OR MEBE THE NICE PARKS - I LOVE THE PARK AND THE NICE LAND THAT I SEEN,I GREW UP IN IT.I,T VERY CLEAN AND THE PEOPLE YOU MEET THERE ARE VERY POLITE.LIKE WATCHING THE BEARS THERE TOO,THEY FISH TOO LOL. Trough Creek State Park Lodge - Nice house, 4 bedrooms, not real cozy decorating;carpet throughout, except in kitchen; modern kitchen is big and well-equipped and good layout, although sound reverberates when talking. Beds not the greatest: 2 doubles, 2 sets bunks, 2 singles; if you want more comfort, take a padded mattress cover along; living room has two couches, table with four chairs and 2 cushioned chairs.
If you want pics, email me at
annelisefrench@hotmail.com our favorite park - If there was a higher rating, Clear Creek would get that from me. We go every summer and can never wait to return. It is beautiful country and peaceful. It renews the spirit. memories - as a child our family camped in pymatuning state park. i shall never forget it! it was beautiful. if i am not mistaken i saw my first coral snake sunning on a rock! loved it!!! birds!!!!! - the birds there are great! even though they only have a few, i have found many! We Love Camping at Cowans Gap - My husband & I love camping at Cowans Gap. Cowans Gap is our favorite place to camp. We camp there several times each season. We really like the layout of the camp sites. The shower houses are always clean. We really enjoy walking the trail around the lake. - have been going to this area entire life, one of the greatest places in the world. Very relaxing, peaceful, great camping facilities and fishing second to none. Nice campground - Nice comfortable campground. Mix of shaded and open sites. Numerous sites that can handle long camping rigs. We will be visiting there again. Nice campground - We stayed there in May 08. Very clean and well taken care of. Site pads are a little short for our 29ft trailer, and it took some effort to get things good and level. Not too bad though. one of our favorite parks - this park is my favorite place to go so peaceful and great wildlife you will always see very well kept and clean we just love it great walking trails and fishing - I have a cabin there and love the walking trails,the quiet fishing is perfect,the swimming is good but could be better.the hunting is great fun but not as much game as before. A great place to enjoy nature! - Jacobsburg Park is an awesome park right here in the Lehigh Valley. The hiking and mountain biking is great for the whole family, including the dog! Walking along or in Bushkill Creek is my favorite, the sound of the water is beautiful! - Beautiful park nice camping sites.Can;t wait to go back in 2009 beautiful landscape even in the snow - go hunting around the park each year love the area it is awesome Pristine Serenity - I used to live 3 miles from the Park and came there every evening to sit on the benches and watch the deer and black bears across the lake. I loved to fish for catfish and drive slowly through the park at dusk where I spotted baby bobcats, turkeys, white-tail deer and fawns and an occasional buck in velvet. The biggest thrill is watching the bald eagle swoop down and take a fish and carry it to its aerie. I miss it terribly and wish I had never sold my place in Lick Island Run. Very clean - I have to say, this park has the cleanest bathroom facilities I have ever seen. The park all around is very nice! Boyhood memories - Second submission due to email address typo.
I grew up in Erie, and I am now living in Denver Colorado. But I still call Erie home. Just before asking my wife to marry me, I knew I had to bring her home to meet the family and visit the peninsula where I spent many summer days. I have great memories of family reunions, picnics, as a teen I’d, bring dates to “Eddie’s Hideaway” (actually a few spots along the peninsula). It was almost as if that piece of land would talk to me. Being a nature lover I realized that this awesome stretch of land and water did… sort or talk to me. The peninsula knew that dates of my youth were not the right ones. I remember sitting watching the water, sand, people, sunsets, and pondering the day that I’d be able to bring the true woman who’d steal my heart back here one day. All the times that I would sit and reflect on life and the peace of this bit of land and water, one woman of my dreams became true as she and I visited early in our relationship and then again with our son who experienced his very first joy of playing in waves as they crashed around is little legs. Paula (my wife) loves Erie and the peninsula as much as I do. I hope it is open and free to us for many more years and I hope our son will be able to bring his kids to that same beach where he first experience waves, beaches and fun in the waters of Lake Erie. A park for all seasons - Every year my boyfriend and I try to get a cabin in the park to celebrate New Years the old fashioned way. Last year was the most beautiful time (we got a foot of snow) The trails are well marked and the scenery is breathtaking. Only one thing I would reccomend, Be careful while driving the one of the vista trails, we hit some black ice, slid sideways and almost slid off a cliff due to no railing. Other than that near death experience this park is one of my favorites to visit in the winter. Just over the hill - I live just over the hill from Crooked Creek and enjoyed walking the trails. I enjoy seeing the wildlife as I pass through the park on my way to work. This site does nothing for promoting the park and the fact that it is developed around a flood control dam. great hunting - plenty of space to lose the crowds and find you a nice buck good hunting An unseen gemstone. - This park is truly underutilized. It’s a great place to just watch the clouds go by, watch the wind or do some serious bird watching. amazing - beautiful and i learned a lot!!! Its wonder ful! - it is bueatiful A wonderful place to enjoy nature. - It is our favorite place for walking. Camp Grounds only - Have been to Blue Knob several times and cannot believe the lack of orderleness. I know it is more of a winter resort area because of the skiing, but most of the area is very unkept except for the beautiful campgrounds ! Parking and roadway areas are in very bad shape at the Condo area. The best area in the park, in my opinion is the campsite !! qwer5 - Let your mind wander on the sandy beaches....as the gentle waves wash the world away.....if only for a while.

qwwert - Let your mind wander on the sandy beaches....as the gentle waves wash the world away.....if only for a while. hi - Sinnemahoning State Park Best Park Around - Beautiful trails full of wildlife and exciting views!! Nice walking - Took a prepatory hike at the park, as part of a warm up for a Scout outing to New Mexico. Nice trails, clean surroundings, quiet. - I think codorus State Park is the most beautiful place I have ever been to. One of the cleanest, well-kept parks. - I have been going to park for over 40 years. Swimming pool is great (sometimes cool water). Nice climbing wall. A nice setting for a great camping weekend. Nice to visit the town of Renova, especially during Fall Foliage Weekend. favorite place in the world - The Allegheny National Forest is beautiful forest. It in many places seems to be untouched by mandkind and in many places you can go without seeing a person, just you and nature. Its a an amizing combination of tall timber, beautiful streams, wildlife, and a past time that many people have strayed away from. I think everyone should have the oppertunity to enjoy this beautiful gift from God. The Hidden Treasure - Beautiful and a wondeful place to visit. The staff out and about in the park are great. Our favorite State Park - Great for camping, fishing, swimming, or relaxing.
Park is clean, and staff is the best. Beautiful - Some of the best times in my childhood were spent in this park. Very lovely - My husband and I stopped there one day on our way to Geisinger in Danville and spent a couple of hours there. We thought it was beautiful - has a nice play area for children, a nice butterfly garden, a walkway around the park, a place for badmitton or volleyball, a marina. We very much enjoyed the park and will consider it for our family renunion. Glad i discovered it - We are camping often last 2 years and have been to many places. We fall in love with this park. Every one can find fun here. Great Programs Too - I agree with Deer-Jerky. They also have great programming and shows there. Occasionally they have live hawks, owls and eagles there from local wildlife rescues. The shows are awesome. very clean, very quiet, just great - my favorite campground. people that work there make me feel welcome. thanks for having such a nice campground. well kept and beautiful - Campsites are average size, but have better privacy than average. Bath house clean and well lit. Views beautiful. Normal night noise, but had drag races Saturday night in a nearby location sounded like across the lake. Weeknights no crowd. Beach and bathhouse very convenient on other side of lake, free. cool - wow this sunday i am going to neshaminy park im going to have lots of fun..yay thanks for making a wonderful state park. Great place for scouts to camp - I am one of the leaders of scout troop that camped here in mid August. We had a great time. The boys loved it. We went whitewater rafting and on a five mile hike. I would recomend to anybody. great family environment - beautiful land, the pool is the only thing that ruins the park mainly because of the horse playing a little rough with kids around. everything else is great. Loved the ride! - We had absolutely wonderful time past weekend riding horses at Tyler Park Stable. Our guide, Donna, was very knowledgeable and caring. She made sure that everybody knew what to do and enjoyed their ride. If someone (newbie’s) had a bit trouble with navigating their horse, she would be over right away with a help. We rode about 20 min over an hour (since couple of people were new to this and took extra time to get on going) but no one charged us extra. Trails were really nice and we enjoyed sight seeing though the park as well. My daughter rode a pony with us and she can’t stop talking how much fun she had.
Highly recommend! Beautiful Cabin Weekend - We often will rent a cbain or two for the weekend. The park is very clean and the cabins are excellent! We have always had a wonderful time each spring and fall when we come. We only live about 40 minutes away, but its nice to have a change of scenery and enjoy some outdoor cooking and boating for the weekend. The kids love it to! Give it a try. The Best Place 2 Get Away - Everything is so wonderful there. Its a nice place to take your family and to get away. we go there every year, it only takes us an hour to get there we come from Montgomery Pa. We look forward to coming every summer! A jewel in the Delaware Water Gap - A gem of a park! A great way to spend a lazy summer day enjoying the falls, the water, and the cool soft trail along the creek. Perfect for those weekend getaways! - Out of most of the state parks in the Delaware valley, this one seems to be the best in terms of seclusion, closeness and the availability of electric or non electric supported sites. Each site is a comfortable distance from the others and theres plenty of room to spread out. Lots of woods and great fishing. The only downside is the nearest place to buy food is a bit of a drive from the site but other than that its great! Awesome - We stayed at the rustic sites for Memorial Day weekend. The host family was wonderful, the bath-houses clean, the site was impecable. Everything was exactly as I had hoped it would be! A Great Cheap Spot for a Great Get Away - An Excellant country setting. Good camping sites for tenters or for travel trailers. A Nice beach, and a very Nice Lake stocked with Trout. There is also a Nice paved Trail for walkers, Joggers, or bikers that goes all aroung the lake. Boat rentals and also Paddle Boats for rent. Very worth the trip in My Opinnion Great one Night Stay - Easy one mile or so hike up the mountain. Great breeze on top, awesome mountain top vista! Nice clean park for camping - Fishing for pan fish with kids was fun, lots of weeds in the lake this time of the year. - Family favorite - My family and I have been camping with our RV for a couple of years and love being there. The bathrooms are always extremely clean. The beach is great and we love going fishing, taking the hiking and biking trails, and enjoying the wild life. Highly recommend. one of the best - clean sites lots of activities for kids great fishing black moshannon festival[third week in july] is incredible fun Great Park - This park in a paradise in alot of ways, i lived very near hear a couple of years ago nice place to visit but not long term for me if you up in that neck of woods good place to visit, the locals are not the nicest people but then again you get to go home i wouldnt go out of my way to visit long drive. rustic and remote - Area has great hiking and canyon views. Forksville covered bridge and general store is a must-see! One of the Best - - One of our favorite state parks! - At Kooser, you can experience a true outdoor experience without any commerciallism. We visit again and again. One of our favorite parks - Codorus State Park offers many different camp sites, from shaded sites to full sun. The rough In camp site with no electric are a campers dream lots of space. Great campground to explore the area - This is a great campground to explore the areas many wonderful trout streams, float tube big pine creek on a hot summers day, or take a nice leisurely bike ride on the 60 miles of the pine creek rails to trails bike path up into the pine creek gorge. I highly recommend this park a nice place thats close - On a day trip my wife and I ride up to tuscarora to check the place out. little did we know all the things this park has to offer, lush greenery well small lake well kept grounds, and they are into alternative energy sources.( use of big windmills. The tops is the courtousy of Park Rangers with all thier info and friendliness. A definite goto place A nice park - Depending on what you want, FT. Washington is nice. It has historical significance and can inspire the imagination. It has a wooden tower that gives a nice bird watching area and view of the surrounding area. It has picnicing, camping, playground, and bathroom facilites. It is also bordered by the Green Ribbon Trail which winds along the banks of the Wissahickon Gorge and is a good access point to the trail which winds for miles in either direction. - nice and quiet. it is beautiful and always fun Great trails with view of the water - There is a small beach and wonderful walking trails located here. Very disappointed - Cowans Gap has been our favorite Park. I used the Gap when I was a child. I took you children there now my Grandchildren. BUT I am very disappointed that the Life Guards are not on duty anymore. We bring our Motorhome and grandchildren to stay for a week each year and many weekends. We do not let the kids out of sight but I am willing to pay more for the safety of all.
Fun Fun Fun!!!!! - fun camping spots good fishing sometimes nice bathrooms with showers. great staff great activities,small store. nice area some wild life. lots of deer and coons. A fun park - needs a website, but its a very fun park to be and take children. a slice of heaven - No place on earth like the exciting wonders of nature found on the refuge. Great for the soul. Very therapuetical and relaxing. I have been coming here for years and each time I still marvel at the workings of nature. Beautiful and clean - This park was a very nice suprise.

Great job you all, keep up the good work & I will see you this weekend...THANKS!! I LOVE IT HERE !!!!!!!! - nice little park - This is a nice little park with a lot of potential. Check out the mountain biking trail. needs some work but its a nice local trail favorite camping spot.. - great place to get away,peace and quiet.. beautiful landscape views - awsome camp sites and a beautiful lake Splendid place to camp! - trip to remember - I took my mom for a ride to Mt.Pisgah State Park last weekend. Neither one of us had been there for many years, and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing it once again. My mom and her family lived on the mountain a long time ago, and it was such a joy to have my 85 year mom reminence of days gone by on the mountain. Cherry Springs - It is a great place to go sled riding,and when it gets dark you can see every thing in the sky.The woods men show is all ways cool to see THE BEST FOR YEARS - ITS BEEN THE BEST FOR THE FIFTY YEARS THAT
I HAVE GONE THERE
Do not ride the horses - My husband and I were very disappointed with our experience at Tyler Park Stables. Upon our arrival, the girls who work there were using foul language and seemed disgruntled. We tried to make the best of it as we left for our trail ride, but our guide had a lot of trouble with her horse. She said she had never riden that horse before; the horse gave her a lot of trouble. At one point, the horse walked off the trail into the brush and the guide fell off! We waited for her to get back on and spent a good while being patient as she tried to get the horse to move. When we returned to the stable, the older woman there was angry that we had been out for over an hour, and told us we had to pay more money!! She was extremely rude. We will not return there. - Beautiful Views - We enjoyed Bald Eagle State Park. It has something for everyone. Beautiful views, fishing, hiking. We stayed in a cabin. The cabins are simple and very clean. The only downside is the location of the cabins. They are right at the beginning of the loop, so there can be heavy traffic-Other campers coming and going in their cars. You can see the main road (RT 150) from the cabins, too. We really enjoyed our visit and would stay again. - Great Family All Day Spot - This park has it all.Great playground area,sand,swimming lake,concession stand(seasonal) and barbecue spots with nice shady picnic spots.You can fish,relax,swim eat and play and rent boats too.There is lots of space for volleyball etc. and I swear the bathrooms are the cleanest and nicest I have ever seen in any park.You can even take a warm shower with Quarters too.You can hike too.A really nice and all day family outing because of all the things you can do.Camping is also available for a fee and need reservations.Great hidden spot at the end of a long road.Worth the trip. An adventure in the making - Peace, tranquility, and nature fills your surroundings.....and your heart with the wonder of it all. Awe inspiring - A natural wonder in its own right.....you can always see something new and different, no matter how many times you see it. And once is never enough. A fine park..! - Very well run park. Neat,clean, well maintained. BIG enough to have a pool and concession stand but still small and intimate. Always been treated well by the helpful staff. Nicely laid out campsites along a gorgeous creek. Great showers and restrooms. My favorite campground in the area. In the heart of one of the most beautiful areas of the state. Wonderful. Perfect picnic spot - Great family day trip and picnic spot.Lots of picnic tables.Beautiful waterfalls and neat bridges and streams.Barbecue pits too.Summer weekends this park is very busy. A little piece of heaven on earth - Let your mind wander on the sandy beaches....as the gentle waves wash the world away.....if only for a while. great native brook trout fishery - fish flies, spinners or live bait i prefer waxworms Great Big Park - Horse trails, playgrounds, fishing, canoes for rents. Great trails for hiking and riding bikes. (paved & dirt) lots of picnic nooks
Also has the covered bridge worth the trip - Had a great day of hiking........desolate mountain top trail........mind cleansing Great Historical Village - GREAT JOB !!!!!
