    The wildlife center located at Sinnemahoning State Park is amazing. There is a really nice…read moreinteractive exhibit about the nature and history of the area, with some excellent kid-friendly features like a cave to crawl through to find animal displays. It also features a nice large classroom space with activities and short films - on the day we visited, it was alternating between videos on elk and eagles. The restrooms were exceptionally clean and in good condition. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The park has a lot of things to explore - and keep your eyes peeled for elk as you go! There was a sighting of a large bull while we were there. There is a reservoir created by a dam that offers opportunities for boating and fishing, and the dam is a great place to get a good overlook of the area. They offer pontoon boat tours on Sundays during parts of the year, but unfortunately, ours got cancelled due to the boat needing a repair. Camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing areas are also available in the park. We really enjoyed our visit here!

    We love coming to Sinnemahoning State Park during all seasons. We kayak and canoe in the summer…read more(people can "rent" either for a donation, but we have our own) and in the winter, people can cross country ski, ice skate and snowshoe for a donation. It has educational activities all year round, and has special programs such as Women in the Wilds and homeschoolers activities. It's a wonderful resource in a beautiful area.
