Hyner Run State Park

Hyner Run State Park is a recreation area in Sproul State Forest defined by a stream that winds through a narrow valley bounded by steep mountain ridges. The landscape features dense forest with rocky banks where the water cuts through the terrain.

The park began in 1958 as a recreation area, with camping facilities added years later to accommodate visitors. This transformation turned a remote forest section into a accessible destination for outdoor activities.

Educational programs run twice monthly during summer, offering local schools and visitors opportunities to learn about Pennsylvania's natural environment.

Camping areas feature level pads with picnic tables and fire rings, operating from spring through early winter. Central water access is located near the camping zones to serve basic needs.

The Donut Hole Trail system, a 50-mile network, has its eastern starting point at this location and extends through surrounding forests and mountains. Hikers can embark on extended journeys from this trailhead into remote wilderness areas.
