Leonard Harrison State Park

Pennsylvania


This park has full views of the Pine Creek Gorge, aka the Grand Canyon of PA, with trails that descend 800ft down to the creek below. A visitor center has toilets and a modest displays of local fauna, and a viewing deck makes this side more accessible for people not planning to hike. For the undeveloped side go to Colton Point State Park instead.
