This park has full views of the Pine Creek Gorge, aka the Grand Canyon of PA, with trails that descend 800ft down to the creek below. A visitor center has toilets and a modest displays of local fauna, and a viewing deck makes this side more accessible for people not planning to hike. For the undeveloped side go to Colton Point State Park instead.
