I was here in the winter time so I am guessing that this place is even better in the warmer…read moreseasons. There's a great trail around the lake, the furnaces are there with some nice information about the history of the area, so well constructed shelters to reserve for your group, and even more trails to explore that go across the hill and across the road. I feel like I barely saw a fraction of the area on my 4 mile hike, so I'll be back.

Pennsylvania is home to some of the best Parks! Greenwood Furnace Park is one of them!…read more They have over 10 different hikes all in a variety of difficulties. For example, part of The Standing Stone Trail is in the Greenwood Furnace Park! The trails go past areas including beaches, dams, forests, historic buildings and more! At times the hiking trails became overgrown. If hiking is not your thing they also have boating and fishing options. Obviously, the lakes in the park are usually packed with canoes and kayaks. When it comes to fishing, trout is sought after! After day-time activities you can cool of at the sand beach located on the lake. Around that area they have pagodas and barbecues that are great for picnicking! They also have a playground with multiple slides for the kids! During the winter time, they also have plenty of activities including snowmobiling, sledding and ice skating! The bathrooms here are new and clean so you can change into your bathing suit at the park! I would highly recommend this Park!

We stayed at the lakeside villas (many family members also booked the villas too). For $270/nt…read more(incl tx) in October that was not inexpensive, but we were there for a wedding so we booked 2 nights. The 2 bedroom villas are supposed to be able to sleep 6 if you count the pullout sofa. DO NOT count the pullout sofa as an option - it's the worst bedding ever. I called the front desk and they explained that all the villas have the same bedding so bring an inflatable mattress if you need to sleep 6. The pillows provided were definitely poor, but the sheets were fair. Overall, I am writing a mediocre review because the pullout sofa was one of the worst possible sleeps I have ever had. Wifi service is limited to one device which was a negative. We noticed the majority of the light posts were not working. We walked back from the wedding and the road was dark even though there were numerous lights- they just weren't working. Location was great because we could walk to the conference center for the wedding on the outdoor terrace. Service was good although if I would have been given a credit for a lousy night sleep I would have given a better rating.

Stayed at the lodge that actually was more like a motel. But every room had a great view of the…read morelake. Also, there is no ground floor, you enter between the floors, and go up or down depending on your room. And you have a walk from the parking lot to your room. NOT for elderly, but nice for young people. The dinner cruise was good, and although it was normal fair, it was good.
