About Milton State Park

Milton State Park occupies an 82-acre island in the West Branch Susquehanna River, lying between the communities of Milton and West Milton. The northern portion holds day use facilities for visitors, while the southern portion stays forested and suits hiking and nature study. Hunting is not permitted anywhere in the park. The park has no reservable facilities, and cell service can be unreliable, so visitors are advised to download the park map before arriving.
