Penn-Roosevelt State Park

Penn-Roosevelt State Park covers 41 acres of protected land surrounded by the vast 80,000-acre Rothrock State Forest in Pennsylvania's Seven Mountains region.

The park was established in 1983 on land where the segregated African-American Civilian Conservation Corps Camp S-62 operated from 1933, building infrastructure including dams, roads, and trails.

Stone remnants of the CCC camp including bake ovens, fireplaces, and dam structures serve as tangible reminders of Great Depression-era conservation efforts and segregated work programs.

The park offers 18 rustic tent-only campsites with drinking water and non-flush toilets, accessible via U.S. Route 322 through Crowfield Road or Stone Creek Road.

The park serves as a trailhead for the challenging 261-mile Mid State Trail and features a 3.5-acre man-made lake supporting native brook trout fishing.
