Living in a state as huge as Pennsylvania means we've got a lot of places to explore, many of them off of the beaten path. This secluded state park in Pennsylvania provides an idyllic backdrop for an adventure any time of the year, offering a full slate of activities and the opportunity to cross paths with a variety of wildlife. You'll find so much to do, in fact, that a day may simply not be enough time for a visit.
A tranquil day among nature awaits at Sinnemahoning State Park in Austin, a roomy state park that sprawls across more than 1,900 acres.
Often praised as a nature lover's paradise, the state park promises something for everyone. It also hosts workshops, festivals, and events throughout the year.
A gem of the state park, the 145-acre George B. Stevenson Reservoir is popular with boaters and those who enjoy a bit of fishing.
If you visit on a Sunday between Memorial Day and Labor Day, climb aboard a pontoon boat for a wildlife watching tour.
Speaking of wildlife, you're likely to run across a lot of the state park's residents - from gentle deer to...
Otters taking a dip in the cool water. Be sure to look to the sky too, where you might catch sight of a bald eagle or two.
One of the best ways to explore Sinnemahoning State Park is to hit one of its two hiking trails. If you want to see wildlife, follow the Lowlands Trail. It features an ADA-accessible viewing platform at the northern trailhead.
If a day at the secluded state park simply isn't enough time, consider camping overnight.
Sinnemahoning State Park is also a popular winter destination, welcoming cross-country skiers and riders on snowmobiles. You can also go ice skating.
