French Creek State Park
French Creek State Park, Nature reserve and state park in southeastern Pennsylvania, United States.
French Creek State Park spans 7,730 acres across Berks and Chester counties, featuring two lakes, dense forests, and wetlands for outdoor recreation.
The land transformed from an industrial complex with charcoal production for Hopewell Furnace into a protected natural area in 1946.
The park maintains 35 miles of trails, camping facilities, and recreational areas constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression.
Visitors can access hiking paths, fishing spots, camping sites with showers, and ten modern cabins throughout the park from sunrise to sunset.
The park contains the largest continuous forest block between Washington D.C. and New York City, supporting numerous rare plant and animal species.
