About Bald Eagle State Park

Bald Eagle State Park covers about 5,900 acres in the Bald Eagle Valley of north-central Pennsylvania. Its 1,730-acre lake wraps around the sides of Bald Eagle Mountain, with forests, fields, and wetlands nearby. Visitors can camp at two campgrounds, boat, fish, swim, and stay at the Nature Inn. The varied habitats are well suited to watching wildlife. The park was developed through a joint effort between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Pennsylvania's DCNR Bureau of State Parks. Year-round programs cover the park's natural, cultural, and historical resources.
