About Greenwood Furnace State Park

Set on the western side of the Seven Mountains in northeastern Huntingdon County, this state park combines rugged scenery with quiet woodland. Its grounds include a six-acre lake, a campground, hiking trails, and a historic district that preserves the remains of an iron-producing village active from 1834 to 1904. Visitors can walk a historic route past town sites, a tramway, old roads, and charcoal hearths, and the visitor center and Blacksmith Shop explain the community's industrial past. The park also borders Rothrock State Forest, which offers additional options for backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, hunting, and fishing.
