Great state park about 1.5 hours southwest of Pittsburgh (near the West Virginia border). Went on a hike with the Pittsburgh HIking Meetup group at this lovely park on a misty cool October Saturday. Jared with the park led our group on a 6 mile hike (of the total 13 miles they have) thru the park. He was very informative and a great host. Most paths were wide enough for several people across and the terrain was quite hilly, making for a great workout. We did encounter a couple deer on our outing and Jared indicated there are many wild turkeys in the park, as well. The park office had quite a bit of literature and they have a great map of the trails along with a great listing of the trails with their lengths in miles, total elevation, elevation gain, and difficulty level. There are restroom facilities at the park office (flushing toilets and sinks). Note that hunting and camping are also activities within the park boundaries. read more

Hard to see why this is even considered a park. Except for the campground area there was nothing park-like to be found. Correction: I would one picnic table and about three parking spaces with nothing nearby to notice parker. The were signs indicating some water features if they were still there, they are not apparent. A theoretical pool may have been taken over by some sort of energy plant. read more
