A park can be a place of beauty forever
WIDE-RANGING ACTIVITIES
HIKING - Seven miles of trails wind through the 277-acre park. From natural paths that zig-zag through the forest and cross the stream to improved paths like the Norton Trail, hikers of all abilities can travel the park and enjoy its splendor.
ORIENTEERING - The purpose of the permanent orienteering course is to provide the public with ongoing opportunities to experience orienteering, a sport involving navigation with a map and compass.
CAMPING - Youth groups and visitors who want to overnight at within the park may garner a permit from the park ranger. Tents may be pitched at dusk and must be packed up in the morning.
PAVILION RENTALS - Area visitors, conventioneers and residents may rent the park's historic pavilions for a memorable outdoor event.
FIRE PERMITS - Enhance your event or overnight stay with a cozy campfire. Fires are permitted in the park with a permit.
SLEDDING - Snowfall turns the park into a winter playground for kids of all ages. An accumulation of snow means Saturday Slide and Ride. Glide the quarter-mile run, ride back up the hill on an ATV and slide again. All of this is complimented by hot chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers.
CROSS COUNTRY SKIING - An abundance of gently sloping terrain and improved paths in the park provide the perfect local for cross country skiers. No permit is required to ski the park.
NATURE STUDY - The diverse flora and fauna found in the park provide visitors an up-close-and-personal view of the wonders of Western Pennsylvania's Allegheny Region.
PHOTOGRAPHY- Nature and portrait photographers have ample opportunities to capture stunning imagery within the park. Even if you're not a professional photographer, don't forget to bring your camera.
