Salt Springs State Park, State park in Franklin Township, Pennsylvania, US
Salt Springs State Park spans 405 acres of natural terrain, featuring a rocky gorge with three waterfalls along Fall Brook and ancient hemlock trees.
The land belonged to the Wheaton family from 1840 until 1973, when they sold their property to Pennsylvania for establishment of the state park.
Native American communities utilized the natural salt springs on the south side of Fall Brook as a vital source of salt for their communities.
The park offers 15 miles of trails for hiking and cross-country skiing, with paths winding through old-growth forests and along the scenic gorge.
This park stands as the only Pennsylvania state park managed by a non-profit organization, the Friends of Salt Springs Park, which owns additional adjacent land.
