Little Buffalo State Park
Little Buffalo State Park, State park and historical site in Perry County, United States.
Little Buffalo State Park is a 923-acre protected area in Perry County featuring Holman Lake, walking trails, and recreational facilities. The park offers camping with electric hookups, bathrooms, showers, and four rustic cottages for overnight stays.
The park originated from land acquired in 1754 during the Albany Purchase, when colonists obtained territory from the Iroquois League in Pennsylvania. This early land agreement shaped how the region was eventually settled.
The working Shoaff's Mill demonstrates traditional grain milling techniques that have been used since the 1800s. You can watch how this historical craft is still practiced today.
The park is open year-round with walking and biking trails suitable for different fitness levels. Visitors should dress for changing weather and wear good footwear, especially on damp pathways.
The site features a zero-entry swimming pool with two waterslides and an electric vehicle charging station near the Entertainment Pavilion. These modern additions contrast with its historical foundations.
