About Bendigo State Park

Bendigo State Park covers about 100 acres in a valley ringed by hills in northern Pennsylvania. Roughly 20 acres are developed, and half of that is a large, shaded picnic area. The surrounding forest is mostly northern hardwoods such as beech, birch, cherry, and maple. The East Branch of the Clarion River runs through the park. The river was once damaged by mine runoff but now offers good fishing, and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission stocks it with trout. Hunting is not allowed in the park. Visitors can also swim, kayak or canoe, and take part in year-round educational programs for school and organized groups.
