  • Pennsylvania State Parks

    The Pennsylvania State Parks offer great opportunity for outdoor recreation. If you are interested fishing, camping, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, wildlife viewing, environmental and historical education, hunting, hiking or even star gazing, you can find it at a Pennsylvania State Park. For many Pennsylvania residents, state parks are one of the few sources of outdoor recreation.    

    And when it comes to water activities at a state park most people think of flatwater boating. But the Pennsylvania State Park system offers much more than you may think. Many parks such as the Leonard Harrison State Park offers a canoe trip on Pine Creek running straight through one of Pennsylvania’s most scenic locations. And the Ohiopyle State Park offers some of the best whitewater paddling in the Mid-Atlantic region.
