About Laurel Hill State Park

Set in the hills of southwestern Pennsylvania, this state park covers roughly 4,000 acres of rugged ground. Its main feature is a 63-acre lake, and it sits among much larger tracts of state park and state forest land. Visitors can follow a network of trails to see local plants and animals, and two highlights are the Jones Mill Run Dam and the Hemlock Trail Natural Area. The park also offers year-round educational programs, a visitor center in a farmhouse near the campground, and day-use and overnight facilities.
