Unfortunately, the weather interfered with our ability to see as much as we had hoped, but we still had a great time! There is a nice visitor center with a variety of historic and nature info available, including some great info on the CCC work that took place in the park (there's a really nice interactive model of a CCC camp too) and how and where the park name is suspected to have been derived from. There is a real snake to look at, as well. A very nice playground is located nearby, and this section of the park also offers easy access to the Loysalsock Creek and the beach with a snack bar, plus multiple picnic tables and shelterhouses. It's beautiful even just to look at the valley walls and the creek itself. There are several gorgeous vistas available, some by foot and some by foot or car. We especially liked the Loyalsock Canyon Vista, which can be reached on foot or by car. It is located next to the Rock Garden, which is a very neat grouping of giant rocks and boulders that is a lot of fun to check out. The park also offers camping and plenty of trails. Worlds End is located within the Loyalsock State Forest, so there is also a lot more that one could explore in the area.

Ricketts Glen is a very special place for me and my family, and we have been visiting annually for…read moremany years. Lodging: My family likes to stay in the little cabins in the park. They have two or three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a fire ring. They are fully furnished and climate controlled, which is nice in the winter and summer. However, there is no WiFi or cell service (unless you have A T and T) so be mindful of that when you book. I have never stayed at the campsites, so I cant speak for accommodations there. Activities: There's so much to do around the park, including boating or swimming at Lake Jean, exploring the many miles of trails, or having a family barbecue. The most famous trail in the park, the Falls Trail, is a must-hike for visitors. The trail can be steep, rocky, and slippery, and the main loop (not including the bottom three falls) runs about 5 miles, which is longer than the advertised distance, so be prepared. Bring good shoes and lots of water and expect some amazing views of the falls. The other trails in the park are also beautiful, albeit far less traveled. I did the 13 mile loop from cherry run to mountain springs road to the mountain springs trail, and it was a great distance and not too steep. We went past the old Lake Leigh dam breast and an unnamed waterfall with a nice swimming hole. The cherry run and mountain springs trails have lots of tall grass, so make sure to wear long pants in case of ticks. Additionally, the spring runs right through portions of the mountain springs trail, so be prepared to get your feet a little wet. I look forward to each year I get to go to Ricketts and even though I am sad I'm home, I'm super excited for next year!

Sike - Rain and thunderstorms forecasted from May 27-June 4 and we had a campsite lmaaoooooo But one thing about me - I'm gon pivot every time. So we booked a Hipcamp and headed to PA instead. I wanted open land, dark skies, and opportunities to hike. Ricketts was only 10 minutes away!! All I knew about this park beforehand was that it was a waterfall paradise. We had our dog with us and arrived at Ricketts around 4pm on a Sunday. We checked out some of the small falls at the trailhead then did the Evergreen Trail. Beautiful view of Adams Falls, a lovely wooded walk through an old growth forest, and some climbs here and there to keep your heart rate up. I love when Wesley goes out on the trails - he sniffs everything, bounds ahead to scout the path, and patiently waits until I can clear obstacles. Still, given the height and uneven terrain of even this shorter trail in the park, I would likely return without him to take on some of the more challenging routes. Making sure he didn't fly off the ledge and I didn't fall off the stone steps had my nervous system on fire lol. I'm also old now and believe feet should always stay rooted to the floor. So yeah. The park is very dog friendly and we love that. But for me and mine, maybe we'll come solo next time. Summed Up: Beautiful Ethereal Calming Steep Heights Dog-friendly Free Do it!

This happened to me on Wednesday at the Little Pine Campground when I said to the receptionist Kate, "Hi , I'm Jim Hasson. I reserved a Yurt for the next few days!" That expression I mentioned above hit me immediately, telling me there was a problem...and there was. "Uh sir, those Yurts have been booked through the summer, " she explained, as a doctor would tell you that a loved one just died, " I believe I noticed that you rented a Pavilion for the next 3 days." Let me rewind to a few weeks earlier. My friend Steve and I decided to go on a mini camping trip. Since it was short noticed and we had little camping gear, I decided we should try and get some kind of cabin. Since I'm cheap I downloaded the PA State Park app and scoured it for something to reserve. It was hard to find a cabin, most required a week stay and were already booked. I then found something called a Yurt, it was like a little furnished Tee pee and it fit our needs. I booked it for the 2 nights immediately. Many will remember my post about wondering why it didn't include 2 nights and we had to check in at 8amWed and check out at 8pm Thurs. I won't rehash it here but consider this one of the red flags that led to our downfall. I even contacted a human to ask about it. Not someone at Little Pine (if only!) but just some operator in their data base. She had me book an extra night. But big deal, because my buddy Steve and I were going camping! Except maybe we weren't. We stood in the park office getting the bad news from Kate, with a car full of camping supplies (not a tent) and a load of recently purchased groceries, some of them perishable, in need of the mini fridge we thought we'd be getting with the Yurt. As I was being told we rented a Pavilion for 3 days- Kate: We were all wondering what kind of cult event was going on for 3 days at a pavilion! - I had images of Steve and I on sleeping bags on picnic tables or maybe building some kind of fort with them. But Kate, to her credit, sprung into action. (Glowing Yelp review to follow). She got on the phone and began calling around to anywhere local where we could find a tent or cottage. Unfortunately it was fruitless but I still love her for trying. Finally, she called park maintenance and had them set us up a tent, that they luckily had in storage. Between Kate, the maintenance guy (whose name I wish I had asked) and a Ranger named Jeb, we were well taken care of and our trip was not only saved but enhanced (now we were kind of really roughing it!). The error was chalked up to a crappy interface for their App, a faceless 1-888 number that knows nothing about the actual parks and my own stupidity and bad luck. We were refunded the yurt/pavilion fee and just paid for a campsite which was all considerably cheaper. I was so happy that I wouldn't be sleeping on a park bench that I happily exclaimed to Kate on my way out, "If anyone wants to use our Pavilion, they are more than welcome!" While in the car on the way to one of our many side trips that day, I was feeling a bit guilty that the one thing I was in charge of got ruined, I tried to apologize to Steve, "I'm sorry man, I don't know what happened. I guess it's because I'd never rented a Yurt before" Steve, in his infinite wisdom, simply replied, "Well, technically , you still haven't."
