Penn-Roosevelt State Park, State park in Harris Township, Pennsylvania.
Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
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.
Practical
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.
Did you know?
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.
