About Linn Run State Park

Linn Run State Park covers about 612 acres of mixed hardwood and evergreen woodland with varied terrain. Visitors use it for picnicking, hiking, and renting cabins. Two small streams, Grove Run and Rock Run, meet in the park to form Linn Run, which anglers value as a trout stream. A waterfall near the picnic area draws visitors. The park borders Forbes State Forest, which adds tens of thousands of additional acres for outdoor recreation nearby.
