Laurel Summit State Park, Mountain state park in Cook Township, Pennsylvania, United States

Laurel Summit State Park spans 6 acres at an elevation of 2,739 feet, offering panoramic views of Linn Run from the mountain peak.

The park area experienced substantial deforestation in the 1800s, with steam locomotives causing wildfires that damaged the landscape until its establishment in 1964.

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources manages this recreational space, preserving the natural heritage of Laurel Mountain for public enjoyment.

Visitors can access facilities including restrooms, picnic pavilions, parking areas, and trash disposal sites at the intersection of Linn Run and Laurel Summit Roads.

The park's elevation creates a microclimate with temperatures consistently lower than surrounding valley towns, affecting local flora and fauna development.

Location: Pennsylvania

Inception: 1964
